The Shell - an overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using iterm2 to type/submit commands and receive feedback from the O/S.
The Shell is the program that processes (interprets) each command
in a language that the O/S (Kernal) understands and returns the output for iterm to display.
...A Shell is a Command Line Interpreter and iTerm is a Command Line Interface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Process Flow:
|--> Command line Interface (iTerm) ---> Command Line Interpreter (Shell) ---> O/S --->|
|<--------------- <-------- <-----------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The native (default) Shell for the Mac is called: Bourne Again Shell aka: BASH
