最简单的shell程序——yash

/* Placed in the public domain 2009 by Sam Trenholme */

/* Yash: A usable command shell in under 4k (yet another shell)
 *
 * This is a simple thought experiment: How small can we make a *NIX command
 * line shell?  This is as simple as it gets; it will run a command typed
 * in if it's an external command like "ls" or "cc", with arguments separated
 * by space; if one types in "-cd {directory}", it will go to that directory.
 *
 * CNTL-C exits the shell
 *
 * BUGS: CNTL-D reruns the previous command instead of exiting the shell.
