However, this primarily applies only to Linux systems and not others.
Historically, /bin/sh has referred to the Bourne shell. The shell that most
Linux systems use is a play on that and is called Bourne Again shell (hence
bash). Bash combines many features (although not all) of Bourne, C Shell
and Korn shell into one.
