<h1>Qshell</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Qshell is a command environment based on POSIX and X/Open
|
|
standards. It consists of two parts:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The shell interpreter (or <strong>qsh</strong>) is a program
|
|
that reads commands from an input source, interprets each command,
|
|
and then runs the command using the services of the operating
|
|
system.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The utilities (or commands) are external programs that provide
|
|
additional functions and can be quite simple or very complex.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Together, the shell interpreter and utilities provide a
|
|
powerful, standards-based scripting environment. As you use the new
|
|
programming models offered by i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP>, Qshell provides an extensible
|
|
command environment that allows you to:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Manage files in any file system supported by the Integrated
|
|
File System.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Run threaded programs that do thread-safe I/O to and from an
|
|
interactive session.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Write shell scripts that can be run without modification on
|
|
other systems using a cross-platform command language.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Write your own utilities to extend the functions provided by
|
|
Qshell.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>This topic provides both new and experienced users with the
|
|
information needed to use Qshell commands and write Qshell scripts.
