| mksh | enhanced version of the Korn shell | Mehr ... |
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar
to the original AT&T Korn shell.
It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a
modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
It has UTF-8 support in the emacs command line editing mode;
corresponds to OpenBSD 4.4-beta ksh without GNU bash-like $PS1; the
build environment requirements are autoconfigured; throughout
code simplification/bugfix/enhancement has been done, and the
shell has extended compatibility to other modern shells.
The mksh-static binary is a version of mksh, linked against dietlibc
if possible, and optimised for small code size, for example for use
on initrd or initramfs images, installation or rescue systems.
A sample ~/.mkshrc is included. |
