ARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/
I'm working on polishing my meagre shell scripting skills and would appreciate some feedback on the line above, quoted from the kernel Makefile. 1. How would you use this in a straight bash script so it returned a value containing the boxes architecture? 2. As far as comparisons go, if I wanted to determine if a string contained ".xyz" or ".abc" would that be a variant of the fragment above? Thanks for any feedback...
