[cf24ff1]11<para>bash is the Bourne-Again SHell, which is a widely used command
12interpreter on Unix systems. The bash program reads from standard
[3cc70a0]13input, the keyboard. A user types something and the program will evaluate
[bdc08c1]14what he has typed and do something with it, like running a
15program.</para></sect4>

[2c094d6]22<para>sh is a symlink to the bash program. When invoked as sh, bash
[bdc08c1]23tries to mimic the startup behavior of historical versions of sh as closely
24as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as
25well.</para></sect4>
