%general-entities; ]> ASH ash is a shell that is the most compliant with the Bourne Shell (not to be confused with Bourne Again SHell i.e., Bash installed in LFS) without any additional features. Bourne Shell is available on most commercial UNIX systems. Hence ash is useful for testing scripts to be sh-compliant. It also has small memory and space requirements compared to the other sh-compliant shells. Ash has problems with command line editing in multibyte locales. The issue is discussed in more detail in the section of the page.
