maSh
Miniature shell.
The basic code is taken from the fosh shell by Radovan Garabik http://www.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/. The fosh shell is in turn derived from the sash shell originally written by David I. Bell (dbell@canb.auug.org.au),
The intention of this piece of software is to familiarize novice programmers on how a shell functions and how it is built. However, maSH implements only a small subset of builtin functions and lacks many of the advanced features of standard Linux/Unix shells like redirection, pipelining, job control etc.
