/bin/csh concepts and tricks

Most unix users use csh as their primary working environment. The csh gives you the prompt and reads your commands. However, /bin/csh has many powerful features including history, job control, aliasing, foreach statements, and many other things. These are accessed either via the command line, your ~/.cshrc configuration file, or csh scripts (which we will cover later in this course).

Some users use shells other than csh for their day-to-day use, the most common being tcsh. We will not cover these other shells.
