48-582: A UNIX file, use ed(1) . The four principal languages available under UNIX are C (see cc(1) ), Fortran (see f77(1) ), bs (a compiler/interpreter in the spirit of Basic, see bs(1) ) , and assembly language (see as(1) ). While not released outside prior to System III, the bs command was present internally in UNIX/TS 1.0 (November 1978), PWB/UNIX 2.0 (June 1979), and CB UNIX editions 2.1 (November 1979) and 2.3 (1981). The bs command does not appear in some earlier internal releases, e.g.,

192-584: A program to be executed subsequently. Like in SNOBOL4, the assignment operator ( = ) is used for I/O and bs can execute code in strings, using its eval function. It also includes SNOBOL's interrogation operator ( ? ) used to test whether an expression evaluation succeeds or not. The built-in format function, limited to one argument, supports a subset of C's printf format conversion specifiers, e.g., "%f". The language has some conspicuous elements. For instance, its program functions are defined using

264-419: Is as important as the resulting speed of execution. Formalities of data declaration and file/process manipulation are minimized. Line-at-a-time debugging, the trace and dump statements, and useful run-time error messages all simplify program testing. Furthermore, incomplete programs can be debugged; inner functions can be tested before outer functions have been written and vice versa. A bs program

288-416: Is compiled and executed differently from programs written in the other principal Unix programming languages of the time: C , FORTRAN , and assembly language , whose respective commands compile program source code to executable assembler output ( a.out ). Instead, a bs program is, first, converted by the bs command to an internal reverse Polish ( RPN ) intermediate representation and then executed by

Bs (programming language) An early man page states, "[ bs ] is a remote descendant of Basic [sic] and SNOBOL4 , with a little C thrown in." The bs command appears in UNIX System III Release 3.0 (1980), first released outside of Bell Labs in 1982. It

336-417: Is provided by bc , Perl , and POSIX shell . In the 21st century, bs is present in, at least, HP-UX Release 11i (2000), as well as AIX versions 6.1 (2007) and 7.2 (2018), likely due to their UNIX System V heritage. The bs man page , ostensibly the programming language's only specification, characterizes it as follows: Bs is designed for programming tasks where program development time

360-408: The fun ... nuf syntax and its functions can have local variables. Also, bs can operate in two modes, either interpreting (and executing) statements and programs or compiling them, and switching between the two using compile and stop . Otherwise, its functionality is unique only collectively (in one language), since individual features are redundant with those of coexisting tools, such as

384-740: The AT&;T UNIX PC (3B1) specifically mentions that the bs command is not available, but that it is available on SVR3.2. ) Occasionally, bs was touted as one of the primary programming languages for development under UNIX. However, bs is not included in the POSIX.1 commands and utilities (the standard List of Unix commands ) nor in the Single UNIX Specification and is not provided with most contemporary operating systems. For example in Linux , similar syntax and functionality

408-668: The Unix Shell , e.g., file I/O and loops, and AWK , e.g., associative arrays and Regular expression matching. The bs language was meant for convenient development and debugging of small, modular programs. It has a collection of syntax and features from prior, popular languages but it is internally compiled, unlike a Shell script . As such, in purpose, design, and function, bs is a largely unknown, modest predecessor of hybrid interpreted/compiled languages such as Perl and Python . The following examples are derived from an A/UX bs(1) man page . This example uses bs as

It does not appear in any version of Research Unix nor the Berkeley Software Distribution . Subsequently and into the 1990s, bs was included in a variety of System III-derived or System V-derived commercial operating systems including, but not limited to: PC/IX ; UNIX System V Releases 2 & 3: SVR2 , SVR3 , SVR3.2 (1986); HP-UX ; AIX ; and A/UX .

504-465: The command's internal virtual stack machine . The bs language, thus, is a hybrid interpreter and compiler and a divergence in Unix programming from Ancient Unix . The bs language shares some features and syntax with BASIC , SNOBOL , and C , the two former presumably inspiring its name. Like BASIC, it can be used interactively, either executing statements immediately or collecting them into
