The Schily Bourne Shell was derived from the Bourne Shell sources from
OpenSolaris. The Schily Bourne Shell is actively maintained and
enhanced on a regular base. It can be compiled into three variants:
Non-POSIX SVr4/OpenSolaris variant (obosh)
The portable but not extended variant obosh allows script
portability testing. Most scripts that run in the old Schily
Bourne Shell will run with any Unix shell that is still in use
since 1990.
Minimal POSIX compliant variant (pbosh)
This version implements the minimal set of POSIX features and
this version is always in strict POSIX mode. The features are
similar to the features in dash, but since pbosh supports multi
byte characters, it is really POSIX compliant. The pbosh
variant allows script portability testing aginst the POSIX
feature set.
The POSIX compliant extended variant (bosh)
This version has been verified to work as the system shell on
Gentoo Linux and OpenSolaris (SchilliX). The enhanced Schily
Bourne Shell (bosh) implements many features that are missing
in the OpenSolaris Bourne Shell listed above.
