.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
.Nm
|
||
is a command interpreter intended exclusively for running legacy
|
||
shell scripts.
|
||
It is built on
|
||
.Nm mksh ;
|
||
refer to its manual page for details on the scripting language.
|
||
It is recommended to port scripts to
|
||
.Nm mksh
|
||
instead of relying on legacy or idiotic POSIX-mandated behaviour,
|
||
since the MirBSD Korn Shell scripting language is much more consistent.
|
||
.Pp
|
||
Note that it's strongly recommended to invoke
|
||
.Nm
|
||
with at least the
|
||
.Fl o Ic posix
|
||
option, if not both that
|
||
.Em and Fl o Ic sh ,
|
||
to fully enjoy better compatibility to the
|
||
.Tn POSIX
|
||
standard (which is probably why you use
|
||
.Nm
|
||
over
|
||
.Nm mksh
|
||
in the first place) or legacy scripts, respectively.
|
||
.Sh LEGACY MODE
|
||
.Nm
|
||
currently has the following differences from
|
||
.Nm mksh :
|
||
.Bl -bullet
|
||
.It
|
||
.\"XXX TODO: remove (some systems may wish to have lksh as ksh)
|
||
There is no explicit support for interactive use,
|
||
nor any command line editing or history code.
|
||
Hence,
|
||
.Nm
|
||
is not suitable as a user's login shell, either; use
|
||
.Nm mksh
|
||
instead.
|
||
.It
|
||
The
|
||
.Ev KSH_VERSION
|
||
string identifies
|
||
.Nm
|
||
as
|
||
.Dq Li LEGACY KSH
|
||
instead of
|
||
.Dq Li MIRBSD KSH .
|
||
Note that the rest of the version string is identical between
|
||
the two shell flavours, and the behaviour and differences can
|
||
change between versions; see the accompanying manual page
|
||
.Xr mksh 1
|
||
for the versions this document applies to.
|
||
.It
|
||
.Nm
|
||
uses
|
||
.Tn POSIX
|
||
arithmetic, which has quite a few implications:
|
||
The data type for arithmetic operations is the host
|
||
.Tn ISO
|
||
C
|
||
.Vt long
|
||
data type.
|
||
Signed integer wraparound is Undefined Behaviour; this means that...
|
||
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||

|
||
.Ed
|
||
.Pp
|
||
\&... is permitted to, e.g. delete all files on your system
|
||
(the figure differs for non-32-bit systems, the rule doesn't).
|
||
The sign of the result of a modulo operation with at least one
|
||
negative operand is unspecified.
|
||
Shift operations on negative numbers are unspecified.
|
||
Division of the largest negative number by \-1 is Undefined Behaviour.
|
||
The compiler is permitted to delete all data and crash the system
|
||
if Undefined Behaviour occurs (see above for an example).
|
||
.It
|
||
.\"XXX TODO: move this to FPOSIX
|
||
The rotation arithmetic operators are not available.
|
||
.It
|
||
The shift arithmetic operators take all bits of the second operand into
|
||
account; if they exceed permitted precision, the result is unspecified.

.\"XXX TODO: move this to FPOSIX

|
||
.It
|
||
Unless

||
.Ic set -o posix
|
||
is active,
|
||
.Nm
|
||
always uses traditional mode for constructs like:

.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||
$ set -- $(getopt ab:c "$@")
|
||
$ echo $?
|
||
.Ed
|
||
.Pp
|
||
POSIX mandates this to show 0, but traditional mode

passes through the errorlevel from the
