+.TH BASH 1 "May 24, 2003" bash "Debian Free Documentation"
+.SH NAME
+bash-minimal \- A bash version configured with minimal features
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+bash [\fB\s-1options\s0\fR] ... [\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.
