 3.2.1 Simple Commands
 ---------------------
 
 A simple command is the kind of command encountered most often.  It's
 just a sequence of words separated by `blank's, terminated by one of
 the shell's control operators ( Definitions).  The first word
 generally specifies a command to be executed, with the rest of the
 words being that command's arguments.
 
    The return status ( Exit Status) of a simple command is its
 exit status as provided by the POSIX 1003.1 `waitpid' function, or
 128+N if the command was terminated by signal N.
