What comes in MCSH?

The MCSH package provides a set of system helper scripts written in GNU Bash. These helpers utilize a robust common runtime and an expanding collection of optional libraries. The tools and runtime support were designed explicitly to make writing new custom scripts a trivial endeavor.

Component Classes

The MCSH package provides and supports several classes of components:

• Tools - Scripts that provide the interface and experience for end users
• Libraries - Scripts provide reusable interfaces and functionality
• Runtime - A subset of MCSH libraries that provide a "bare minimum" of script functions
• Extensions - Abstract script interfaces that permit portable/interchangeable implementations
• Custom - Components developed in a fork or as a separate package
