  • Getoptions with flags
while getopts "f" option; do   
 case ${option} in
 f)
     flag="1"
 *)
     echo "unknown parameter"
     exit;;
  esac
done


  • Getoptions with args
while getopts "a:" option; do   
 case ${option} in

  • Condition if var is defined
if [ ${var+x} ]; then

  • Print Text
cat << EOF

}


  • Read tokenized configuration file
. /etc/os-release

  • Search in file, return bool
if grep -q search-arg "/etc/file.conf"; then
 do-something

Cool code sample of a function call using args and the use of the return code

#!/bin/bash
main() {
 declare test_path='/etc'
 declare test_file='motd'
 chkFile "${test_path}/${test_file}"	
 myreturnvalue=$?
 #echo "myreturnvalue is "$myreturnvalue
 if [ $myreturnvalue == "1" ] ; then   #Check for Debian
  echo "File exists: ${test_path}/${test_file}"
 else
  echo "File does NOT exists: ${test_path}/${test_file}"
 fi
 }
 function chkFile(){
  if [ -f $1  ]; then   #Check for file
   return 1
  else 
   return 0
  fi
 }
main "$@"; exit 0
