I am writing a considerably huge shell script. Is there any way to print the line number of the script from that script? Basically I want to have something similar to gcc LINE macro. This will help me to debug my script.
Thanks in advance,
Souvik
Had to do it myself a while ago and found this useful article back then: http://aymanh.com/how-debug-bash-scripts#adding-line-numbers-to-tracing-output
Essentially you need to use
$LINENOto get the current line in the script.
