## 5.15 shell option

This is the “name or path name of shell to use” option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

- must be compiled in by defining `SHELL_ENABLED` during the compilation.

By default, when AutoGen is built, the configuration is probed for a reasonable Bourne-like shell to use for shell script processing. If a particular template needs an alternate shell, it must be specified with this option on the command line, with an environment variable (`SHELL`) or in the configuration/initialization file.
