Description

POSIX shell scripts can run through a small statically linked musl build of dash. This is useful for rescue environments, minimal systems, or containers that need a compact shell with fewer runtime dependencies.

It is a minimal shell, not a feature-rich interactive environment. Use POSIX-compatible script syntax and test behavior when replacing another shell in constrained systems.

How to run
