NAME
       shells - Shell database

DESCRIPTION
       The  shells  file  contains  a  list  of the shells on the system.  For each shell, the file should contain a single line consisting of the
       shell's path, relative to root.

       A # (number sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
       which search the file.  Blank lines are also ignored.

FILES
