# msh
msh is a WIP shell with the goal of being portable to older operating systems, namely classic Windows and classic Mac OS. While the former already has a shell, the aim for both is to provide an emulation of bash that's more sane to use in the modern day then whatever is built in.

It's written without the C standard library. Ports instead must implement `src/system/system.h` accordingly. It's also written in C89/C99 (mostly the former as it's needed for some compilers, but if C99 is supported by a platform's backend then it'll probably be used).
