1 /* Proxy shell designed for use with Emacs on Windows 95 and NT.
2 Copyright (C) 1997, 2001-2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
4 Accepts subset of Unix sh(1) command-line options, for compatibility
5 with elisp code written for Unix. When possible, executes external
6 programs directly (a common use of /bin/sh by Emacs), otherwise
7 invokes the user-specified command processor to handle built-in shell
8 commands, batch files and interactive mode.
10 The main function is simply to process the "-c string" option in the
11 way /bin/sh does, since the standard Windows command shells use the
12 convention that everything after "/c" (the Windows equivalent of
13 "-c") is the input string.
