The FreeBSD shell is a POSIX compatible shell. It evolved over several decades from the Almquist shell, which was preceeded a decade before that by the Bourne shell. Most readers today have never seen a Bourne shell. If someone wants to learn to use our shell, they need to look for tutorials on the POSIX shell. Align descriptions through out the tree with this reality, consistent with it's manual and common parlance.

If you plan on building a local copy of the FreeBSD documentation, or using
our toolchain in your own projects, please read the Documentation Primer at:

for information about the tools and formatting languages we use.
Chapter 1 has a Quick Start section, and Chapter 2 covers the software
