.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Sh
|
|
is the shell, which forms the user's main interface with the system.
|
|
On startup, the shell reads /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile, if they exist,
|
|
and executes any commands they contain. The Minix shell has most of the
|
|
features of the V7 (Bourne) shell, including redirection of input and output,
|
|
pipes, magic characters, background processes, and shell scripts. A brief
|
|
summary follows, but whole books have been written on shell programming alone.

The shell uses the following variables for specific purposes:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.in +2.25i
|
|
.ta 2i
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
SHELL the path of the current shell
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
HOME the default value for the cd(1) command
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
PATH the directories to be searched to find commands
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
IFS the internal field separators for command strings
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
PS1 the primary shell prompt
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
PS2 the secondary shell prompt
|
|
.in -2.25i
|

.LP
|

There are various forms of substitution on the shell command line:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.in +2.25i
|
|
.ta 2i
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
`...` Command string between back-quotes is replaced by its output
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
"..." Permits variable substitution between quotes
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
\&'...' Inhibits variable substitution between quotes
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
$VAR Replaced by contents of variable VAR
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
${VAR} Delimits variable VAR from any following string
|
|
.in -2.25i
|
|
.LP
|
|
The expressions below depend on whether or not VAR has ever been set.
|
|
If VAR has been set, they give:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.in +2.25i
|
|
.ta 2i
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
${VAR-str} Replace expression by VAR, else by str
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
${VAR=str} Replace expression by VAR, else by str and set VAR to str
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
${VAR?str} Replace expression by VAR, else print str and exit shell
|
|
.ti -2i
|
|
${VAR+str} Replace expression by str, else by null string
|
|
.in -2.25i
|
|
.LP
|
|
If a colon is placed after VAR, the expressions depend on whether or not
|
|
VAR is currently set and non-null.
