    <title>Introduction to ASH</title>

    <para><command>ash</command> is a shell that is the most compliant with
    the Bourne Shell (not to be confused with Bourne Again SHell i.e.,
    <application>Bash</application> installed in LFS) without any additional
    features. Bourne Shell is available on most commercial UNIX systems.
    Hence <command>ash</command> is useful for testing scripts to be
    <command>sh</command>-compliant. It also has small memory and space
    requirements compared to the other <command>sh</command>-compliant
    shells.</para>
