Yash, yet another shell, is a POSIX-compliant command line shell written by Watanabe Yuki (aka magicant) in C99 (ISO/IEC 9899:1999). It was originally written as a work on a university course assignment but the code has been re-written from scratch to meet the requirement of POSIX. Yash is intended to be the most POSIX-compliant shell in the world.
Yash can be modified/redistributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (Version 2) but the use of this program is without any warranty.
:
Yash is a SourceForge.jp project. See also the
project summary page.
Yash is supposed to build and run on any POSIX.1-2001 environment with the Software Development Utilities and the C-Language Development Utilities options.
Most of the basic functions required by POSIX have already been implemented, so that yash is now capable of running common shell scripts. Line-editing and command completion are currently under development.
The manual for yash is not yet available in English.
The source tarball can be downloaded from the release page.
