 Hi Jimmy,

A lot of stuff in Linux is provided by the GNU project. Here is a good
place to look for their documentation:
https://www.gnu.org/doc/doc.html
https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html

GNU tools often implement a POSIX standard utility and embellish it with
GNU extensions. Offhand, I don't know much about it. This page might help:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX

As for learning programming using bash, stick to your easier to read books.
If you want something as definitive reference, take a peek here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/

HTH,


Ian
