In the scope of this section, Unix refers to commands available in typical command line shells such as bash and tcsh, as implemented as part of various OS versions of Gnu/Linux (TM, FSF and Linus Torvalds), Solaris (TM Sun Microsystems) or Darwin (TM Apple Computer) or similar command lines. Also referred to as BSD (TM) or POSIX (TM).
