The KornShell language was designed and developed by David G. Korn at
|
|
AT&T Bell Laboratories. It is an interactive command language that
|
|
provides access to the UNIX system and to many other systems, on the
|
|
many different computers and workstations on which it is implemented.
|
|
|
|
ksh has the functionality of other scripting languages such as awk,
|
|
icon, perl, rexx, and tcl. For this and many other reasons, ksh is a
|
|
much better scripting language than any of the other popular shells.
|
|
The code size for ksh is larger than the Bourne shell or C shell
|
|
programs. The revised version is even larger.
|
|
|
|
In spite of its increased size, ksh provides better performance. You
|
|
can write programs to run faster with ksh than with either the Bourne
|
|
shell or the C shell, sometimes an order of magnitude faster. ksh has
|
|
evolved and matured with extensive user feedback. It has been used by
|
|
many thousands of people at AT&T since 1982, and at many other
|
|
companies and universities.
