It's called a "Here Document":

Very handy.

Subject: [RULE] Re: i18n

Hi all,
could not resist to start with this. I have now
written a very, very simple install_fr.sh, which
switches the Slinky installed sstem to french:

<snip>

What I do not like so much, is that this script
relies on other files, I have to create at the
right place (f.e. i18n). It seems as if there are
other solutions, where the files are created by
the script (and not just copied). I have seen
something in setup.sh

--- snip -----
> # Create /etc/sysconfig/i18n
> i18n=/newroot/etc/sysconfig/i18n
> 
> cat<<EOF >> $i18n
> LANG="en_US"
> SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
> SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
> EOF
---- snap ----

What I do not understand is this cat<<EOF and the
ending EOF. I looked already in my books but
could not find an explanation. May be someone can
give me a short hint, than I can provide scripts
for at least fr and de.

Generally I think it is better to provide extra
scripts outside for switching language and /or
locale. The main advantage I see is that these
scripts can be created and maintaioned by
different people balancing the workload.

Bye, Ingo.
