esh is a new shell for Unix, written completely from scratch. It is
|
|
|
|
|
very small, both in number of lines of source code and in memory
|
|
|
|
|
consumption. The whole shell is about 5000 lines of C source code, and
|
|
|
|
|
occupies about twice as little memory as bash in some cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, esh is also extremely flexible, with a real programming
|
|
|
|
|
language at the core. The syntax is a simplified form of Scheme. The
|
|
|
|
|
current version is 0.8, though it is already stable and
|
|
|
|
|
featureful. The reason for the low version number is lack of
|
|
|
|
|
real-world testing. It is released under the GPL, of course.
