The corresponding system routine in Windows 9x, named SHELL_SYSMODAL_Message, does not halt the system like bug checks do. Instead, it displays the infamous "blue screen of death" (BSoD) and allows the user to attempt to continue. The Windows DDK and the WinDbg documentation both have reference information about most bug checks. The WinDbg ...
In CP/M, attempting to read a floppy disk drive with the door open would hang until a disk was inserted and the disk drive door was closed (very early disk hardware did not send any kind of signal until a disk was spinning, and a timeout to detect the lack of signal required too much code on these tiny systems). Many users of CP/M became ...
The Linux tee command was written by Mike Parker, Richard Stallman, and David MacKenzie. [5] The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. [6] The FreeDOS version was developed by Jim Hall and is licensed under the GPL. [7]
At least three DCL implementations for Windows type operating systems—in addition to XLNT, a multiple-use scripting language package which is used with the command shell, Windows Script Host and CGI programming—are available for these systems as well. Mac OS X and subsequent are Unix-like as well.
A graphical interface similar to one from the late 1980s, which features a TUI window for a man page, a shaped window (oclock) as well as several iconified windows. In the lower right we can see a terminal emulator running a Unix shell, in which the user can type commands as if they were sitting at a terminal.
This functions similarly to Bash's Ctrl+R history search, but is always on, giving the user continuous feedback while typing commands. Fish also includes feature-rich tab completion , with support for expanding file paths (with wildcards and brace expansion ), environment variables , and command-specific completions.
Variable completion is the completion of the name of a variable name (environment variable or shell variable). Bash, zsh, and fish have completion for all variable names. PowerShell has completions for environment variable names, shell variable names and — from within user-defined functions — parameter names.
A Unix shell is a command-line interpreter or shell that provides a command line user interface for Unix-like operating systems. The shell is both an interactive command language and a scripting language , and is used by the operating system to control the execution of the system using shell scripts .
