      1 rc - a shell
      2 ============
      3 
      4 This is rc, the Plan 9 shell, reimplemented for Unix by Byron Rakitzis.
      5 
      6 The original rc was designed and implemented by Tom Duff at Bell Labs.
      7 It has a small feature set similar to a traditional Bourne shell, but
      8 with a much cleaner and simpler syntax. Among other things, this makes
      9 rc much better than Bourne-compatible shells at handling filenames which
     10 contain spaces. Thus, writing rc scripts is less error-prone than
     11 writing sh scripts.
     12 
     13 This reimplementation of rc can be linked with GNU readline, BSD
     14 libedit, or similar line editing libraries, to make a pleasant
     15 interactive shell.
