Bash -c

Bash -c is a command-line option used to execute a string of Bash commands directly from the terminal. When using the -c flag, Bash reads the command string provided immediately after the -c option and executes it as if it were a script. This is particularly useful for executing quick, one-off commands without needing to create a separate script file. For example, bash -c “echo Hello, World!” will output “Hello, World!” to the terminal. The -c option can also accept arguments, which are passed to the command string as positional parameters. This command is commonly used in scripting and automation where inline commands need to be executed in a new Bash shell environment. It allows for greater flexibility and control, enabling users to run complex command sequences in a single line.
