What is POSIX Shell under UNIX / Linux operating systems?

POSIX Shell is based on the standard defined in Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) - IEEE P1003.2.

The POSIX standard is designed to be used by both application programmers and system administrators.

Most of the POSIX Shell features are similar to the Korn Shell.
