:description: This is the introduction page of the yash manual.

dfn:[Yet another shell] (yash) is a command line shell for UNIX-like operating
systems. The shell conforms to the POSIX.1-2024 standard (for the most parts),
and aims to be more precise than other shells that claim to be
POSIX-compliant.
Moreover, it has many features that can be used for interactive use, such as
command history and command line editing with completion.
