| Ausführliche Beschreibung | Scsh has a high-level process notation for doing shell-script like
tasks: running programs, establishing pipelines and I/O redirection.
Scsh embeds this process notation within a full implementation of
Scheme, a minimal and clean dialect of the Lisp programming language.
The process notation is realized as a set of macro definitions, and
is carefully designed to allow full integration with standard Scheme
code. Scsh isn't Scheme-like; it is Scheme.
.
At the scripting level, scsh also has an Awk design, also implemented
as a macro that can be embedded inside general Scheme code.
.
Scsh additionally provides the low-level access to the operating
system normally associated with C. The current release provides full
access to POSIX, plus important non-POSIX extensions, such as
complete sockets support. "Complete POSIX" means: fork, exec & wait,
sockets, full read, write, open & close, seek & tell, complete
file-system access, including stat, chmod/chgrp/chown, symlink, FIFO
& directory access, tty & pty support, file locking, pipes, select,
file-name pattern-matching, time & date, environment variables,
signal handlers, and more.
.
Please be aware that several of the other scheme implementations
being distributed as Debian packages also provide much of the similar
system programming functionality. It is wisest to try them all and
explore.
.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
scsh version (currently v0.6).
