NAME

shells − shell database

DESCRIPTION

The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system.  For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell’s path, relative to root. 

A hash mark (“#”) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file.  Blank lines are also ignored.
