Command syntax ( en )

Commands are only alphanumeric words.
A command can have some arguments. The whole command is called a sentence. Each arguments is called a word. The sentence ends with a carriage return, a semi-colon (;), a pipe (|) or a & (see jobs section).

It is possible to write a command on more than one line by adding the \ character at the very end of the line:
msh> print multi-\
      1> line
mutli-line
