With all due respect to everybody, and so on, but the Bash manual, the
last time I looked at it[*], didn't seem to be one of the better manuals
in the GNU system. It is short on examples, doesn't seem well
organized, and I found it maddeningly difficult to find out about basic
things (how do you write a `while' loop?) a few years back when I was
learning bash.
Would you like to work on improving it? It won't magically change by
itself.
The bash man page is much more coherent.
It is ok to copy the text from there, too; it will require rewriting into
Texinfo, though.
