KornShell (ksh93) in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own ksh93u+m package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so KornShell (ksh93) should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands it gives you

  • ksh
  • ksh93
  • rksh93
  • shcomp93

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

A shell runs inside Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop: type its name there to start it, as on any Linux system. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About KornShell (ksh93)

From Debian's package description

KornShell is an interactive UNIX command interpreter as well as a POSIX compliant scripting language which is a superset of sh(1), the System V UNIX shell.

The ksh93 version of KornShell has the functionality of other scripting languages such as AWK, Icon, Perl, Rexx, Tcl and is a full-featured, expressive scripting language which complies with POSIX.2 Shell and Utilities (IEEE Std 1003.2-1992).

The KornShell language was designed and developed by David G. Korn at AT&T Bell Laboratories and AT&T Research.
