| Description: | Debian Almquist Shell (0.5.6.1-1) | |
dash (Debian Almquist Shell) is a POSIX compliant shell that is much
smaller than bash. It can be usefully installed as /bin/sh (because it
executes scripts somewhat faster than bash), or as the default
super-user shell. Because it depends on fewer libraries, it is
therefore less likely to be affected by an upgrade problem or a disk
failure. It is also useful for checking whether a script uses only
POSIX syntax. This shell was ported from NetBSD's ash. | ||
