C Shell
-------
Also included is the U.C. Berkeley command interpreter (C shell). The C shell (csh) is a command interpreter that originated at the University of California at Berkeley. Its command language is somewhat like the C programming language. In addition to the C-like control flow features of its command language, the C shell also has a command history mechanism that enables the user to repeat and edit previous commands, permits commands to have an alternative name or alias, and has built-in job control functions.
Descriptions of the following commands and built-in functions can be found in the "csh(1)" man pages.
