## Shell Script Formatting
- All `build.sh` should be set to `644` permission.
- All `build.sh`files should be set to `644` permission.
- All scripts should use tabs rather than spaces.
- All parantheses of shell functions should not be preceded with a space.
- Avoid use of non utf-8 encoding.
- Avoid trailing spaces and tabs.
- Avoid usage of non utf-8 encoding.
- Comments should be compact. Do not tab them if not necessary.
## Shell Script Coding Practices
- Do not define global scope variables if not necessary.
- Do not export variables if not necessary.
- Custom variables in build.sh scripts should be defined inside functions. If you need a "global scope" variable at build time, just define it in `termux_step_pre_configure()`. If you still need to define variable outside of function, make sure that it does not use command or process substitution.
- Dollar parentheses `$()` rather than backticks ``` `` ``` should be employed in command substitution.
- `install` is preferred over `cp` as the installation program.
- Usage of `sudo` or `su` in build scripts is disallowed.
- Utility `install` is preferred over `cp` as the file installation program.
- Do not hardcode version numbers. Instead, use the `$TERMUX_PKG_VERSION` and `$TERMUX_PKG_REVISION` variables.
- Do not hardcode Termux prefix directory. Instead, use the `$TERMUX_PREFIX` variable.
- Version numbers should never be hard-coded. Instead, use the `$TERMUX_PKG_VERSION` and `$TERMUX_PKG_REVISION` variables.
- Do not hardcode Termux home directory. Instead, use the `$TERMUX_ANDROID_HOME` variable.
