SHELLS(5) UNIX Programmer's Manual SHELLS(5) NAME shells - shell database DESCRIPTION The _s_h_e_l_l_s 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.
