Template:Short description This list includes notable command-line interpreters Template:Endash programs that interactively interpret commands entered by the user at the command-line.
Operating system shellsEdit
Most operating systems are accessible via a shell Template: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.
