[\fI\s-1file\s0\fR] + +.SH DESCRIPTION + +\fBbash-minimal\fR is configured using --enable-minimal-config, which +produces a shell with minimal features, close to the historical Bourne +shell. This means: +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No alias expansion and the `alias' and `unalias' builtins. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for the alternate form of the `for' command that +behaves like the C language `for' statement. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for one-dimensional array shell variables. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for `csh'-like history substitution. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No `csh'-like brace expansion ( `b{a,b}c' ==> `bac bbc' ). +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for recognizing `time' as a reserved word and for +displaying timing statistics for the pipeline following `time'. This +allows pipelines as well as shell builtins and functions to be timed. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for the `[[' conditional command. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for a `csh'-like directory stack and the `pushd', +`popd', and `dirs' builtins +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for the `((...))' command. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for the extended pattern matching features. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No `help' builtin, which displays help on shell builtins and +variables. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No command history and the `fc' and `history' builtin commands. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No job control features. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No special handling of filenames of the form `/dev/tcp/HOST/PORT' and +`/dev/udp/HOST/PORT' when used in redirections. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No process substitution. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No interpretation of a number of backslash-escaped characters in the +`$PS1', `$PS2', `$PS3', and `$PS4' prompt strings. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No programmable completion facilities. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for command-line editing and history with the Bash version +of the Readline library. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No support for a "restricted shell". If this is enabled, Bash, when +called as `rbash', enters a restricted mode. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +No `select' builtin, which allows the generation of simple menus. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR bash(1) |
