What it is

Trivial shell is a simple platform independent interface to the underlying Operating System. It includes:

• get-env-var,
• os-process-id and, of course,
• shell-command

Where is it

metabang.com is slowly switching from darcs to git for source control; the trivial-shell repository is on github and you can clone it using:

git clone git://github.com/gwkkwg/trivial-shell 

Trivial-shell is also ASDF installable. Its CLiki home is right where you'd expect.

There's also a handy gzipped tar file.
