rc - a shell ============ This is rc, the Plan 9 shell, reimplemented for Unix by Byron Rakitzis. The original rc was designed and implemented by Tom Duff at Bell Labs. It has a small feature set similar to a traditional Bourne shell, but with a much cleaner and simpler syntax. Among other things, this makes rc much better than Bourne-compatible shells at handling filenames which contain spaces. Thus, writing rc scripts is less error-prone than writing sh scripts. This reimplementation of rc can be linked with GNU readline, BSD libedit, or similar line editing libraries, to make a pleasant interactive shell. See COPYING for copying information.
