NAME msh -- mini-shell
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION msh is a heavily simplified version of the Shell. It reads
one line from the standard input file, interprets it as a
command, and calls the command.
The mini--shell supports few of the advanced features of the
Shell; none of the following characters is special:
> < $ \ ; &
However, "*" and "?" are recognized and glob is called. The
main use of msh is to provide a command--executing facility
for various interactive sub-systems.
