NAME

sh — POSIX-compliant command interpreter

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

sh is a POSIX-compliant command interpreter (shell). It is implemented by re-execing as either bash(1), dash(1), or zsh(1) as determined by the symbolic link located at /private/var/select/sh. If /private/var/select/sh does not exist or does not point to a valid shell, sh will use one of the supported shells.
