POSIX is mentioned nowhere

Open Rudxain opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Since this has a big focus on Linux shells, POSIX is something that should be talked about, because it's a standard specification aiming at portability and compatibility.

Perhaps POSIX has already been mentioned, but I couldn't find it. Please let me know if I'm wrong

Fair point. Will leave this open for a future update.

It fails on both regarding PATH, program lookup and is missing extensibility + external control/librarification. Software/Standards not defined for extensibility + external control/librarification becomes bloated or under-specified over time.

If you still want to mention it, I would recommend to embed the context and shortcomings. The most severe ones are that bash has no reliable way to copy cli content (only works for me with v to open in $EDITOR which also always runs command). No idea, if it works in emacs mode.

True, specially the lack of extensibility.

I totally agree
