Scsh Scsh

Scsh - Definition and Overview

Scsh is a POSIX API layered on top of the scheme programming language (currently only a Scheme 48 implementation exists, but others are planned) in a manner to make the most of scheme's capability for scripting.

Scsh includes:

  • Library support for list, character, and string manipulations;
  • Regular expressions manipulation support using scheme regular expressions, a little languages approach to the capabilities;
  • Strong networking support;
  • High-level support for awk like scripts, integrated into the language as macros;
  • Abstractions supporting ptys;
  • A shell language, modelled using quasiquotation.
