-Here is an overview of the source code organization for ksh93.
-
-Directory layout:
-
- The directory include contains header files for ksh93.
- The files nval.h and shell.h are intended to be public
- headers and can be used to add runtime builtin command.
- The remainder are private.
-
- The directory data contains readonly data files for ksh93.
- The man pages for built-ins are in builtins.c rather
- than included as statics with the implementations in the
- bltins directory because some systems don't make static const
- data readonly and we want these to be shared by all running
- shells.
-
- The directory edit contains the code for command line
- editing and history.
-
- The fun directory contains some shell function such as
- pushd, popd, and dirs.
-
- The directory features contains files that are used to generate
- header files in the FEATURE directory. Most of these files
- are in a format that is processed by iffe.
-
- The directory bltins contains code for most of the built-in
- commands. Additional built-in commands are part of libcmd.
-
- The directory sh contains most of the code for ksh93.
-
- The directory tests contains a number of regression tests.
- In most cases, when a bug gets fixed, a test is added to
- one of these files. The regression tests can be run by
- going to this directory and running
- SHELL=shell_path shell_path shtests
- where shell_path is an absolute pathname for the shell to
- be tested.
-
- The top level directory contains the nmake Makefile, a README,
- and several documentation files. The RELEASE file contains
- the list of bug fixes and new features since the original
- ksh93 release. The file COMPATIBILITY is a list of all
- known incompatibilities with ksh88.
-
- The bash_pre_rc.sh is a startup script used when emulating
- bash if the shell is compiled with SHOPT_BASH and the shell
- is invoked as bash. The bash emulation is not complete.
-
-Include directory:
- 1. argnod.h contains the type definitions for command
- nodes, io nodes, argument nodes, and for positional
- parameters.a It defines the prototypes for
- all the positional parameters functions.
- 2. builtins.h contains prototypes for builtins as well
- as symbolic constants that refer to the name-pairs
- that are associated with some of the built-ins.
- It also contains prototypes for many of the strings.
- 3. defs.h is the catch all for all definitions that
- don't fit elsewhere and it includes several other
- headers. It defines a strucuture that contains ksh
- global data, sh, and a structure that contains per
- function data, sh.st.
- 4. edit.h contains definitions that are common to both
- vi and emacs edit modes.
- 5. env.h contains interfaces for creating and modifying
- environment variables.
- 6. fault.h contains prototypes for signal related
- functions and trap and fault handling.
- 7. fcin.h contains macro and function definitions for
- reading from a file or string.
- 8. history.h contains macros and functions definitions
- related to history file processing.
- 9. jobs.h contains the definitions relating to job
- processing and control.
- 10. lexstates.h contains the states associated with
- lexical processing.
- 11. name.h contains the internal definitions related
- to name-value pair processing.
- 12. national.h contains a few I18N definitions, mostly
- obsolete.
- 13. nval.h is the public interface to the name-value
- pair library that is documented with nval.3.
- 14. path.h contains the interface for pathname processing
- and pathname searching.
- 15. shell.h is the public interface for shell functions
- that are documented int shell.3.
- 16. shlex.h contains the lexical token definitions and
- interfaces for lexical analysis.
- 17. shnodes.h contains the definition of the structures
- for each of the parse nodes and flags for the attributes.
- 18. shtable.h contains some interfaces and functions for
- table lookup.
- 19. streval.h contains the interface to the arithmetic
- functions.
- 20. terminal.h is a header file that includes the appropriate
- terminal include.
- 21. test.h contains the definitions for the test and [[...]]
- commands.
- 22. timeout.h contains the define constant for the maximum
- shell timeout.
- 23. ulimit.h includes the appropriate resource header.
- 24. variables.h contains symbolic constants for the built-in
- shell variables.
-
-sh directory:
- 1. args.c contains functions for parsing shell options
- and for processing positional parameters.
- 2. arith.c contains callback functions for the streval.c
- library and the interface to shell arithmetic.
- 3. array.c contains the code for indexed and associative
- arrays.
- 4. bash.h contains code used when compiling with SHOPT_BASH
- to add bash specific features such as shopt.
- 5. defs.c contains the data definitions for global symbols.
- 6. deparse.c contains code to generate shell script from
- a parse tree.
- 7. env.c contains code to add and delete environment variables
- to an environment list.
- 8. expand.c contains code for file name expansion and
- file name generation.
- 9. fault.c contains code for signal processing, trap
- handling and termination.
- 10. fcin.c contains code for reading and writing a character
- at a time from a file or string.
- 11. init.c contains initialization code and callbacks
- for get and set functions for built-in variables.
- 12. io.o contains code for redirections and managing file
- descriptors and file streams.
- 13. jobs.c contains the code for job management.
- 14. lex.c contains the code for the lexical analyzer.
- 15. macro.c contains code for the $ macro expansions, including
- here-documents.
- 16. main.c contains the calls to initialization, profile
- processing and the main evaluation loop as well as
- mail processing.
- 17. name.c contains the name-value pair routines that are
- built on the hash library in libast.
- 18. nvdisc.c contains code related to name-value pair disciplines.
- 19. nvtree.c contains code for compound variables and for
- walking the namespace.
- 20. nvtype.c contains most of the code related to types that
- are created with typeset -T.
- 21. parse.c contains the code for the shell parser.
- 22. path.c contains the code for pathname lookup and
- some path functions. It also contains the code
- that executes commands and scripts.
- 23. pmain.c is just a calls sh_main() so that all of the
- rest of the shell can be in a shared library.
- 24. shcomp.c contains the main program to the shell
- compiler. This program parses a script and creates
- a file that the shell can read containing the parse tree.
- 25. streval.c is an C arithmetic evaluator.
- 26. string.c contains some string related functions.
- 27. subshell.c contains the code to save and restore

- 32. userinit.c contains a dummy userinit() function.
- This is now obsolete with the new version of sh_main().
- 33. waitevent.c contains the sh_waitnotify function so
- that builtins can handle processing events when the
- shell is waiting for input or for process completion.
- 34. xec.c is the main shell executuion loop.
