    1414Real-time embedded systems vary widely based upon their
    15 operational and maintenance requirements. Many of these
    16 systems now include a command line interface which can
    17 be used to diagnostic
     15operational and maintenance requirements. Some of these
     16systems provide ways for the user or developer to interact
     17with them.  This interaction could be used for operational,
     18diagnostic, or configuration purposes.  The capabilities
     19described in this manual are those provided with RTEMS to
     20provide a command line interface for user access.  Some
     21of these commands will be familiar as standard POSIX utilities
     22while others are RTEMS specific or helpful in debugging
     23and analyzing an embedded system. As a simple example of
     24the powerful and very familiar capabilities that the RTEMS
     25Shell provides to an application, consider the following
     26example which hints at some of the capabilities available:

     59In the above example, the user @i{rtems} logs into a
     60SPARC based RTEMS system.  The first command is
     61@code{cat /etc/passwd}.  This simple command lets us
     62know that this application is running the In Memory
     63File System (IMFS) and that the infrastructure has
     64provided dummy entries for @i{/etc/passwd} and a few
     65other files.  The contents of @i{/etc/passwd} let
     66us know that the user could have logged in as @code{root}.
     67In fact, the @code{root} user has more permissions
     68than @code{rtems} who is not allowed to write into the
     69filesystem. 
     70
     71The second command is @code{ls /dev} which lets us
     72know that RTEMS has POSIX-style device nodes which
     73can be accesses through standard I/O function calls.
     74
     75The third command executed is the RTEMS specific
     76@code{stackuse} which gives a report on the stack
     77usage of each thread in the system.  Since stack
     78overflows are a common error in deeply embedded systems,
     79this is a surprising simple, yet powerful debugging aid.
     80
     81Finally, the last command, @code{mount -L} hints that
     82RTEMS supports a variety of mountable filesystems. With
     83support for MS-DOS FAT on IDE/ATA and Flash devices as
     84well as network-based filesystens such as NFS and TFTP,
     85the standard free RTEMS provides a robuse infrastructure
     86for embedded applications.
     87
     88This manual describes the RTEMS Shell and its command set.
     89In our terminology, the Shell is just a loop reading user
     90input and turning that input into commands with argument.
     91The Shell provided with RTEMS is a simple command reading
     92loop with limited scripting capabilities.  It can be connected
     93to via a standard serial port or connected to the RTEMS
     94@code{telnetd} server for use across a network.
     95
     96Each command in the command set is implemented as a single
     97subroutine which has a @i{main-style} prototype.  The commands
     98interpret their arguments and operate upon stdin, stdout, and
     99stderr by default.  This allows each command to be invoked
     100independent of the shell.
     101
     102The described separation of shell from commands from communications
     103mechanism was an important design goal.  At one level, the RTEMS
     104Shell is a complete shell environment providing access to multiple
     105POSIX compliant filesystems and TCP/IP stack.  The subset of
     106capabilities available is easy to configure and the standard
     107Shell can be logged into from either a serial port or via telnet.
     108But at another level, the Shell is a large set of components which
     109can be integrated into the user's developed command interpreter.
     110In either case, it is trivial to add custom commands to the command
     111set available.
