Publisher review:V6 Thompson Shell Port is also known as osh.
The project provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX.
Sh6(1) is an unenhanced port of the shell, and glob6(1) is a port of its global command.
Together, sh6 and glob6 provide a user interface which is backward compatible with that provided by the Sixth Edition Thompson shell and global command, but without the obvious enhancements found in osh.
The Thompson shell's command language is a predecessor and subset of that found in the Bourne shell and C shell. The Thompson shell's external utilities complement the basic functionality of its command language. Since the Thompson shell initially set the stage for basic UNIX-shell functionality, all modern UNIX shells still have a great deal in common with it.
The Thompson shell supports command pipelines (constructed with | or ^), both sequential commands (;) and asynchronous commands (&), I/O redirection (<, >, >>), globbing (*, ?, [...]), and parameter substitution ($1, $2, $3) among other things.
