 3.2 Shell Commands
 ==================
 
 A simple shell command such as `echo a b c' consists of the command
 itself followed by arguments, separated by spaces.
 
    More complex shell commands are composed of simple commands arranged
 together in a variety of ways: in a pipeline in which the output of one
 command becomes the input of a second, in a loop or conditional
 construct, or in some other grouping.
