Features:

• Custom command prompt.
• Execution of commands via absolute, relative paths, or $PATH environment variable.
• Built-in commands: echo, cd, pwd, export, unset, env, exit.
• Quoting with ' and " (single and double quotes).
• Redirections (<, >, >>).
• Piping (|).
• Environment variable expansion ($VARIABLE).
• Exit status variable ($?).
• Signal handling (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-).
• Command history navigation using arrow keys (via termcap).
