POSIX Is Not a Shell

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

An in-depth look at POSIX as a standard rather than a specific shell, explaining that portability depends on cross-shell validation rather than assuming a single shell. It covers implementation-defined behavior (like echo backslash handling), advocates using printf, and highlights cross-shell testing through projects like shell-docs and shell-versions to ensure true portability.
