Bash is a GNU project sh-compatible shell or command language interpreter. Bash (Bourne Again shell) incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and the C shell (csh). Bash 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. Most sh scripts can be run by bash without modification. Bash is the default shell for MSYS. setup = require "setup" sysroot_prefix = os.getenv( "MSYS_SYSROOT" ) if sysroot_prefix then setup.create_shortcuts( '--description="Start MinGW Shell"', '--icon="'..sysroot_prefix..'\\msys.ico"', sysroot_prefix..'\\msys.bat', '"MinGW Shell"' ) end setup = require "setup" sysroot_prefix = os.getenv( "MSYS_SYSROOT" ) if sysroot_prefix then setup.delete_shortcuts( "--if-linked="..sysroot_prefix.."\\msys.bat", "--force", '"MinGW Shell"' ) end
