Description

Installs a small POSIX-compatible command shell often used to run system scripts quickly. It is useful when scripts require standard sh behavior without Bash-specific features.

Users normally encounter it through scripts or as /bin/sh on some systems. It runs terminal commands, so untrusted scripts can still change files or system state.
