NAME shell - A simple shell DESCRIPTION This program is a simple command line shell that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. These commands can be built in (listed below) or from environment path. It should work in the similar manner as popular shells like bash, zsh or fish. To run a command, type it into the shell and press Enter. All commands are terminated with newline character. BUILT-IN COMMANDS cd Change the current directory to the one specified after the command. If the directory specified does not exist report an error. If there is no argument, change to $HOME. clr Clear the screen. ls List the contents of a directory. environ List all the environment strings. export Followed by a key=value pair, add new environment variables. echo Followed by a string and print that string onto the screen with a newline character. help Display the user manual. pause Pause the operation of the shell until <CR> is pressed quit Quit the shell. I/O REDIRECTION Output of one command can be chained to the input of another command. The syntax is as follow: $ cmd1 | cmd2 where cmd1 sends data through pipe to cmd2. Output of commands can be redirected from stdout to a file with a symbol: $ cmd > file In this case, the output of cmd is redirected to file, if file does not exist then the shell will create one. Input of commands can be from a file: $ cmd < file The command cmd takes input from file. BACKGROUND PROCESS By default, when a program runs, the shell waits for it to finish before the user can perform any further action. However, in order to run a program in background, add '&' immediately after the command name, such as: $ [command name]& In this case, the process runs silently in background and the user can continue using the shell.
