Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is
intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and
Tools standard.
It offers functional improvements over sh for both
programming and interactive use; these include command line editing,
unlimited size command history, job control, shell functions and
aliases, indexed arrays of unlimited size, and integer arithmetic in
any base from two to sixty-four. In addition, most sh scripts can be
run by Bash without modification.
