DASH


Description

DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.

History

DASH is a direct descendant of the NetBSD version of ash (the Almquist SHell). I ported it to Linux in early 1997. It was renamed to DASH in 2002.
