1 Bash is a shell, or command language interpreter, for the GNU operating system.
2 Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn
3 shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX
4 P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements
5 over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts
6 can be run by Bash without modification.
