Developing a Linux command-line utility
I liked this article because it shows you how to write
Linux command-line utilities that are foolproof enough
even for end users. It covers solid command-line best
practices and also includes a comprehensive tour of a
working page-selection tool. This article gives you
good background to start writing your own utilities.
It is modeled on de facto conventions for creating
commands in Linux, including: working standalone,
working as a component in a pipeline of commands (by
reading either standard input or a filename argument,
and writing to standard output and standard error),
and taking command line options that modify its
behavior.
