Editing List of command-line interpreters

{{Short description|None}}
This list includes notable [[command-line interpreter]]s {{endash}} [[computer program|programs]] that interactively [[interpreter|interpret]] [[command (computing)|commands]] entered by the [[computer user|user]] at the [[command-line]].

== Operating system shells ==

Most [[operating system]]s are accessible via a [[shell (computing)|shell]] {{endash}} a command line interpreter. In some cases multiple shells are available.

This category somewhat overlaps with the general programming section since an operating system shell supports programming, and the line between operating system access and general programming is sometimes less than clear. For example, some versions of BASIC served as a shell, and BASIC is also a general-purpose language.
