Build Status License: MIT nimble

nsh is the SHell implemented on Nim. nsh can use not only shell commands, but also Nim code.

  • Commands are implemented in 'nshpkg/unixcmd.nim' and 'nshpkg/unixcmd_script.nim'. If you want these procs in other source code, use 'import nshpkg/unixcmd'. (If you use NimScript, use 'import nshpkg/unixcmd_script.nim'.)

  • You can use 'tocl' to export nim variables to shell.
