Design
KornShell complies with POSIX.2, Shell and Utilities, Command Interpreter (IEEE Std 1003.2-1992.)
Major differences between KornShell and the traditional Bourne shell include:
- Job control, command aliasing, and command history designed after the corresponding C shell features;
- Three WYSIWYG-style line editing modes designed to make an interactive shell session behave like vi, Emacs, or XEmacs;
- Associative arrays and built-in floating point arithmetic operations (only available in the ksh93 version of KornShell.)
