4 Routines and command lines
4.1 Command lines

A command line (line) must satisfy the constraints on global variable character strings (see 2.8). The length of a command line is the number of characters in the line up to but not including the eol.

The characters within a command line are restricted to the 95 ASCII printable characters. The character set restriction places a corresponding implicit restriction upon the value of the argument of the indirection delimiter (Clause 7).
