Commands for KS

The commands in the entirety of the kernel are programs that allow you to do what they're supposed to do. They can be either implemented internally (which is what we call the normal commands), implemented as an alias (an alias to normal commands or mods), or created by mods.

All the shells (either normal or custom) share a common command input parser, such as arguments, switches, and so on. Some commands have arguments (either required, for which you should provide to make the command work, or optional, for which you can omit), and some don't provide any.

The switches are special arguments that have the dash in front of them. They change how the commands work, but must be implemented before they actually work.

General commands

These commands that are mentioned below are available in all of the shells.

exit	Exits the subshell
