Korn at + AT&T Bell Laboratories. It is an interactive command language that + provides access to the UNIX system and to many other systems, on the + many different computers and workstations on which it is implemented. + + ksh has the functionality of other scripting languages such as awk, + icon, perl, rexx, and tcl. For this and many other reasons, ksh is a + much better scripting language than any of the other popular shells. + The code size for ksh is larger than the Bourne shell or C shell + programs. The revised version is even larger. + + In spite of its increased size, ksh provides better performance. You + can write programs to run faster with ksh than with either the Bourne + shell or the C shell, sometimes an order of magnitude faster. ksh has + evolved and matured with extensive user feedback. It has been used by + many thousands of people at AT&T since 1982, and at many other + companies and universities. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="github">att/ast</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
