Pnut compiles a reasonably large subset of C99 to human-readable POSIX shell scripts. It can be used to generate portable shell scripts without having to write shell. Its main uses are: - As a transpiler to write portable shell scripts in C - As a way to bootstrap a compiler written in C with an executable version that is still human readable Main features: - No new language to learn -- C code in, shell code out - The human-readable shell script is easy to read and understand. - A runtime library including file I/O and dynamic memory allocations - A preprocessor - Integrates easily with existing shell scripts
