As with the Bourne shell features already covered, scripts:
- can contain filenames and directory names with metacharacters.
- can use semicolons (;) to separate commands on one line.
- can use redirection signs (;SPMlt;, ;SPMgt;, ;SPMgt;;SPMgt;).
- understand pipes (|).
In addition to the above-mentioned, scripts may also contain
C and Bourne shell features.
