有和没有美元的双括号

$(...)与 Bash 中的 (...)相同吗?

还有,$((...))((...))是一样的吗?

还有,${...}{...}是一样的吗?

更一般地说,美元符号代表什么? 谢谢。

In the following, I use "returns" to indicate return values and "produces" to indicate "substitutes the resulting text."

  • $(...) means execute the command in the parens in a subshell and produces its stdout. Example:

      $ echo "The current date is $(date)"
    The current date is Mon Jul  6 14:27:59 PDT 2015
    
  • (...) means run the commands listed in the parens in a subshell. Example:

      $ a=1; (a=2; echo "inside: a=$a"); echo "outside: a=$a"
    inside: a=2
    outside: a=1
    
  • $((...)) means perform arithmetic and produce the result of the calculation. Example:

      $ a=$((2+3)); echo "a=$a"
    a=5
    
  • ((...)) means perform arithmetic, possibly changing the values of shell variables, but don't produce its result. Example:

      $ ((a=2+3)); echo "a=$a"
    a=5
    

    Note that the return value of the calculation is returned, so it can be used in while or if.

  • ${...} means produce the value of the shell variable named in the braces. Example:

      $ echo ${SHELL}
    /bin/bash
    
  • {...} means execute the commands in the braces as a group. Example:

      $ false || { echo "We failed"; exit 1; }
    We failed
    

More generally what does the dollar sign stand for?

It means whatever it means in the given context.

Adding to the answer above:

  1. [..] is used in conditions or logical expressions. Example:
$ VAR=2
$ if [ $VAR -eq 2 ]


> then
> echo 'yes'
> fi
yes
  1. [[...]] offers extended functionality to single square brackets. Particularly, it is useful for =~ operator (used in regular expressions). Example:
$ VAR='some string'
$ if [[ $VAR =~ [a-z] ]]; then
> echo 'is alphabetic'
> fi
is alphabetic
