EXECLINE-SHELL(1)

💅 EXECLINE-SHELL(1) — like, the execline-shell page, bestie

okay so welcome to execline-shell(1) from the General Commands Manual 🎀 this is the whole vibe, let's go ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

execline-shell — it literally executes $HOME/.execline-shell if that exists (or /bin/sh otherwise, no cap) with whatever arguments you hand it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/execline-shell

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. iconic 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — execline-shell transforms itself into this:

${HOME}/.execline-shell $@

like it becomes that. main character energy fr fr ✨

now, ${HOME}/.execline-shell must be readable and executable by the user. and it must exec(3) into an interactive shell with $@ as its argument. those are the rules, no negotiating 🙈

execline-shell is meant to be used as the value of the SHELL environment variable. the way that works is: you get to specify your fave shell and your shell configuration in any language, because the ${HOME}/.execline-shell file can be literally any executable program 🌈 so you can think of ${HOME}/.execline-shell as a portable .whateverrc file 👑

as an administrator-modifiable configuration file, execline-shell is provided in execline's examples/etc/ subdirectory, and the administrator should copy it to /etc 🎀
