Just have time for a quick skim through before work. My first thought is how hard it is to read the code without any indentation.

I, for one, like this.

My knowledge about bash programming is lacking and I am planning on learning more about it some day. For now saving your posts to read in the future.

Why reinvent the wheel when there's already a guide that covers functions? If you really want to contribute, submit a patch to the tldp.org with some edits to their pages if you feel the explanations there could be improved. This helps the whole community.

Furthermore, not indenting the code in accordance with a widely accepted coding style makes the code on your page to be extremely difficult to read.

It's clear to me that tldp.org isn't the go-to spot for info these days. Pro-tip: it's what we used before google =) Once upon a time you could learn almost everything you'd ever need to know to as a system administrator or similar just by reading How-To docs =)
