• Bash 3.1

Bash 3.1

Summary

Description: sh-compatible shell with many extensions
Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

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

Changes

3.1 2005-12-07

Several changes to the multibyte redisplay code to fix problems with prompts containing invisible characters.

2.05b 2003-09-18

A wide variety of new features have been added since the previously installed version (2.04). See /usr/pubsw/doc/Shells/bash/NEWS for the details. This build of Bash should also work much better on Linux, having been built with the current ncurses libraries.
