Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
