## Name
`Shell` - Shell, the command language interpreter
## Synopsis
```**sh
$ Shell [--skip-shellrc]
$ Shell [--skip-shellrc] command_file [arguments...]
$ Shell [--skip-shellrc] -c command_string [arguments...]
```
## Description
The `Shell` utility is a command language interpreter, which reads commands from either a command string, a specified file, or the standard input.
The command language shall be described in [`Shell`(5)](../man5/Shell.md), _The Shell Command Language_.
Any extra arguments passed into `arguments` are placed in the local variable `$ARGV` and can also be accessed through the special variable `$*`.
**NOTE**:
The `Shell` utility does not promise POSIX `sh` interoperability.
## Options
* `-c`, `--command-string`: Executes the given string as a command and exits
* `--skip-shellrc`: Skips running the initialisation file (at `~/.shellrc`)
## Examples
```sh
# Start an interactive REPL, ignoring the shellrc
Shell --skip-shellrc
# Execute a given string
Shell -c 'rm foo*'
# Execute the contents of a file with some arguments
Shell foo a b c
```
