.SH DESCRIPTION
- .LP
\fBksh93\fR is a command and programming language that executes commands read
from a terminal or a file. \fBrksh93\fR is a restricted version of the command
interpreter \fBksh93\fR. \fBrksh93\fR is used to set up login names and
execution environments whose capabilities are more controlled than those of the
standard shell.

See \fBInvocation\fR for the meaning of arguments to the shell.

If the monitor option of the \fBset\fR command is turned on, an interactive
shell associates a job with each pipeline. It keeps a table of current jobs,
printed by the \fBjobs\fR command, and assigns them small integer numbers. When
a job is started asynchronously with \fB&\fR, the shell prints a line which
looks like:
--- 3280,3370 ----
The variable \fB\&.sh.name\fR contains the name of the variable for which the
discipline function is called, \fB\&.sh.subscript\fR is the subscript of the
variable, and \fB\&.sh.value\fR contains the value being assigned inside the
\fBset\fR discipline function. For the \fBset\fR discipline, changing
\fB\&.sh.value\fR changes the value that gets assigned.
+ The variable \fB_\fR is a reference to the variable including the subscript if
+ any. For the set discipline, changing \fB\&.sh.value\fR will change the value
+ that gets assigned. Finally, the expansion \fB${\fR \fIvar.name\fR\fB}\fR,
+ when name is the name of a discipline, and there is no variable of this name,
+ is equivalent to the command substitution \fB${\fR\fIvar.name\fR\fB;}\fR.
+
+ .SS "Name Spaces"
+ Commands and functions that are executed as part of the \fIlist\fR
+ of a \fBnamespace\fR command that modify variables or create new ones, create
+ a new variable whose name is the name of the name space as given by
+ \fIidentifier\fR preceded by two dots (\fB\&..\fR).
+ When a variable whose name is \fIname\fR is referenced, it is first searched
+ for using \fB.\fR\fIidentifier\fR\fB.\fR\fIname\fR\fB.\fR
+ Similarly, a function defined by a command in the \fBnamespace\fR \fIlist\fR
+ is created using the name space name preceded by two dots (\fB\&..\fR).
+ .PP
+ When the \fIlist\fR of a \fBnamespace\fR command contains a \fBnamespace\fR
+ command, the names of variables and functions that are created consist
+ of the variable or function name preceded by the list of \fIidentifier\fRs
+ each preceded by two dots (\fB\&..\fR).
+ .PP
+ Outside of a name space, a variable or function created inside a
+ name space can be referenced by preceding it with the name space name.
+ .PP
+ By default, variables staring with \fB.sh\fR are in the \fBsh\fR name space.
+
+ .SS "Typed Variables"
+ Typed variables provide a way to create data structure and objects. A type can
+ be defined either by a shared library, by the \fBenum\fR built-in command
+ described below, or by using the new \fB-T\fR option of the \fBtypeset\fR
+ built-in command. With the \fB-T\fR option of \fBtypeset\fR, the type name,
+ specified as an option argument to \fB-T\fR, is set with a compound variable
+ assignment that defines the type. Function definitions can appear inside the
+ compound variable assignment and these become discipline functions for this
+ type and can be invoked or redefined by each instance of the type. The function
+ name \fBcreate\fR is treated specially. It is invoked for each instance of the
+ type that is created but is not inherited and cannot be redefined for each
+ instance.
+
+ When a type is defined a special built-in command of that name is added. These
+ built-ins are declaration commands and follow the same expansion rules as all
+ the special built-in commands defined below that are preceded by a dot
+ (\fB\&.\fR). These commands can subsequently be used inside further type
+ definitions. The man page for these commands can be generated by using the
+ \fB--man\fR option or any of the other \fB--\fR options described with
+ \fBgetopts\fR. The \fB-r, -a, -A, -h\fR and \fB-S\fR options of \fBtypeset\fR
+ are permitted with each of these new built-ins.
+
+ An instance of a type is created by invoking the type name
+ followed by one or more instance names.
+ Each instance of the type is initialized with a copy of the sub-variables
+ except for sub-variables that are defined with the \fB-s\fR
+ option. Variables defined with \fB-S\fR are shared by all instances of the
+ type. Each instance can change the value of any sub-variable and can also
+ define new discipline functions of the same names as those defined by the type
+ definition as well as any standard discipline names. No additional
+ sub-variables can be defined for any instance.
+
+ When defining a type, if the value of a sub-variable is not set and the
+ \fB-r\fR attribute is specified, it causes the sub-variable to be a required
+ sub-variable. Whenever an instance of a type is created, all required
+ sub-variables must be specified. These sub-variables become readonly in each
+ instance.
+
+ When \fBunset\fR is invoked on a sub-variable within a type, and the \fB-r\fR
+ attribute has not been specified for this field, the value is reset to the
+ default value associative with the type. Invoking \fBunset\fR on a type
+ instance not contained within another type deletes all sub-variables and the
+ variable itself.
+
+ A type definition can be derived from another type definition by defining the
+ first sub-variable name as \fB_\fR and defining its type as the base type. Any
+ remaining definitions will be additions and modifications that apply to the new
+ type. If the new type name is the same is that of the base type, the type will
+ be replaced and the original type will no longer be accessible.
+
+ The \fBtypeset\fR command with \fB-T\fR and no option argument or operands will
+ write all the type definitions to standard output in a form that that can be
+ read in to create all the types.
+
.SS "Jobs"
If the monitor option of the \fBset\fR command is turned on, an interactive
shell associates a job with each pipeline. It keeps a table of current jobs,
printed by the \fBjobs\fR command, and assigns them small integer numbers. When
a job is started asynchronously with \fB&\fR, the shell prints a line which
looks like:
*** 3211,3277 ****

option, then background jobs stop when they try to produce output like they do

.SS "Signals"

The \fBINT\fR and \fBQUIT\fR signals for an invoked command are ignored if the

.SS "Execution"

Each time a command is read, the substitutions are carried out. If the command
name matches one of the ones in the \fBSpecial Built-in Commands\fR section of
this manual page, it is executed within the current shell process. Next, the
command name is checked to see if it matches a user defined function. If it
does, the positional parameters are saved and then reset to the arguments of
