NAME
shells − shell database
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. For each shell a single line should be present consisting of the shell’s path, relative to root.
A “#” indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
