Abstract

When used as a programming language, the C shell provides mechanisms similar to those used in the Bourne shell, but these mechanisms require slightly different program syntax. A file can be invoked as a C shell procedure in one of two ways:

  • Make the file executable.

  • Execute the csh command with the file’s name as an argument.
