Every Linux/Solaris system includes at least one command-line interpreter that enables you to interact with the OS. This interpreter is known as a shell . It is an appropriate moniker because the shell’s purpose is to act as a layer that shields you from having to know the internal workings of the OS. The shell allows you to perform complex tasks using simple commands. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
