NAME

shells − Shell database

DESCRIPTION

The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system.  For each shell, the file should contain a single line consisting of the shell’s path, relative to root. 

A # (number sign) 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.
