About

cshw is a native Windows command shell with csh/tcsh-flavored syntax. Familiar Unix

shell ergonomics meet first-class Win32 access -- no WSL, no Cygwin, no compatibility

layer. 110+ builtin commands cover file ops, text processing (grep with PCRE2, sed,

awk, sort with -t/-k, head/tail with -f), real concurrency primitives (coroutines,

mutex, semaphore, barrier, channel), Win32 calls (rundllproc, winapi, dllimport),

and built-in AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Ollama, LM Studio). Runs your existing

.bat, .cmd, and .ps1 scripts unchanged. The bc/dc commands offer arbitrary-precision

arithmetic with an opt-in exact-rational tier (bc -x) including complex numbers and

small exact matrices. As of 1.0.7.0, pipelines run on parallel threads with

streaming early-termination; set pipemode = sequential restores the previous

semantics. Ships with a 21-chapter user guide.
