| 2024-11-14 19:51:17 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I think powershell has something vaguely shebang-like, cmd doesn't |
| 2024-11-14 19:50:58 +0100 | sm | wonders what shebang line works in native windows shells (cmd, powershell) - none ? |
| 2024-11-14 19:50:40 +0100 | <geekosaur> | back then sh's idea of a comment was :, and it was actually a null command so you needed to quote any special characters in the "comment" |

| 2024-11-14 19:49:43 +0100 | <shapr> | sm: yeah, I'll mention that |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:32 +0100 | <shapr> | wow, thanks |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:26 +0100 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:24 +0100 | <sm> | just remember it's very easy to write a runhaskell script, add some standard-looking imports, then share it or come back in a few months and find it depends on packages which are no longer installed or installed but changed |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:22 +0100 | <geekosaur> | on sh there was a libc hack, if exec() failed it retried it via sh |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:21 +0100 | <shapr> | oh wow, so csh had # comments before #! was magic bytes? |
| 2024-11-14 19:49:01 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it was a comment… for csh |

| 2024-11-14 19:48:42 +0100 | <shapr> | Yeah, I just realized I don't know whether # was a comment BEFORE it #! was the magic bytes for "this is an executable" |
| 2024-11-14 19:48:23 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (shebangs originated on BSD) |
| 2024-11-14 19:48:11 +0100 | <sm> | 👍🏻 |
| 2024-11-14 19:47:58 +0100 | <geekosaur> | -S word-splits the parameter |
| 2024-11-14 19:47:49 +0100 | <geekosaur> | historically the entire shebang line after the interpreter name was passed as a single parameter |
| 2024-11-14 19:47:33 +0100 | <geekosaur> | the former |
| 2024-11-14 19:47:21 +0100 | <sm> | I think env requires -S on *bsd (& mac) to allow extra arguments after the executable, GNU/linux doesn't. Or vice versa. |
| 2024-11-14 19:47:11 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (but some systems that require it don't have it. then again I'm not sure how many people run Illumos) |
| 2024-11-14 19:46:56 +0100 | <shapr> | The benefit of writing blog posts is that I learn so much! |

| 2024-11-14 19:46:25 +0100 | <shapr> | What's env -S ? |
| 2024-11-14 19:45:52 +0100 | <sm> | ah you showed one. If more arguments are needed, some platforms require env -S |
