[comp.unix.wizards] csh interpretation sequence

martin@mqcomp.oz (Martin Foord) (02/01/89)

I think the /bin/sh (BSD) interpretation sequence goes something like this :-

	a. Read input and parse
	b. Check for verbose trace
	c. Substitute Parameters
	d. Command Substitution (`s)
	e. I/O redirection
	f. IFS processing
	g. expand meta-chars
	h. Execution trace
	i. Env. processing
	j. Execve the command.

What I would really like to know is: how different is the csh interpretation
sequence ? Can any wiz/guru enlighten me here ?
