%  SW-form for registering the software products that are installed
%  on a machine in the ACPC network. 
%  NOTE: This is no independent LaTex file. It has to be included in the 
%        file that describes the corresponding ACPC group
%        or in a `frame' LaTex file (see `sw-frame.tex') where
%        formating information etc is given.
%        All SW-forms should be included into the group description file
%        after the included HW-form.

\subsubsection*{\bf Bash}

\begin{itemize}
 \item {\bf Name:}  GNU Bourne Again SHell 1.12

 \item {\bf Location:} /usr/local/gnu/bash-1.12

 \item {\bf Type:} A bourne shell compatible command language interpreter

 \item {\bf Characterization:} 
                   Extension of the traditional bourne shell that also        
                   includes most of the features of the c-shell and of
                   the korn-shell. Furthermore, this shell allows command
                   line editing with vi-like commands.
                   Implementation of IEEE Posix Shell and Tools specification.


 \item {\bf Functions:}  
                       
                       
       \begin{itemize}
        \item {Invocation:}  {\tt /usr/local/bin/bash} 
        \item {Termination:} {\tt exit} % How to leave the sw-p.
        \item {Help:}        {\tt help} % How to get help.
        \item {Example:}     {\tt bash -rcfile \verb+~+/.cshrc} \\
                             Start the bash and use the file `\verb+~+/.cshrc' as
                             startup file (Note: As c-shell and bash scripts
                             are not fully compatible some errors will
                             probably occur).
        \item {Other important functions:}  {\tt } % A list of important functions.
       \end{itemize}

 \item {\bf Installation:}  Put the setting of your environment
                            in the file `\verb+~+/.bashrc'.

 \item {\bf Manuals:} man pages; a paper describing the features of
                      bash can be found in 
                      \mbox{`/usr/local/gnu/bash-1.12/documentation'}.
