2. What is a shell? - SeaShell

For this project, I was curious to find out what exactly a shell was. Even though it is something that I use often, I was still confused about what differentiates it from the terminal. Turns out it’s really not that complicated. I learned this by rereading the shell part of the paper from the previous project, and some explanations online like this and this one. The Unix shell Wikipedia entry was also very informative.

Since this project is about the shell, I found it appropriate to try and write my own. I settled on the name SeaShell, which I found way too funny. It’s not very advanced, but it does the job.
