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. 248+ 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 1.0.8.0, cshw ships a signed server family: the tsrvd

supervisor runs out-of-process protocol handlers -- native SMTP, POP3, and IMAP over

a shared Maildir, FTP, and a real HTTP/HTTPS/CGI server (http.dll) that speaks

HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 -- and the new quicsrv worker serves HTTP/3 over QUIC through the

same serving core. The fetch client gains native HTTP/2 (--http2) and HTTP/3

(--http3) modes that guarantee the protocol. Ships with a 22-chapter user guide.

Security

No known CVEs for C Shell for Windows.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
