- This command uses for another command as an argument.
Linux operating system** operates command substitution to standard output. Command substitution allows for creating command as an argument. This command uses for another command as an argument. In shell format, substitutes variables in the complex files. Another variable is substituted as input for a required session.
The substitute shell variable requires an “envsubst” keyword. The source file and destination file uses after a substitute keyword. There are the following commands to substitutes shell variables in the complex files.
Consider the Linux command syntax in shell format shown below.
| | | — | | envsubst “$variable_name” <source.txt> destination.txt |.
Prerequisite for a shell variable #
Consider the Linux command in shell format shown below.
| | | — | | export varible1=‘good’ varible2=‘better’ varble=’$varible1:$varible2’ |.
In the above example, you just wrote a simple command to create a shell variable.
