// This application implements a minimal shell for ALMOS-MKH.
//
// This user KSH process contains two POSIX threads:
// - the "main" thread contains the infinite loop implementing
//   the children processes termination monitoring, using the wait() syscall.
// - the "interactive" thread contains the infinite loop implementing the command
//   interpreter attached to the TXT terminal, and handling one KSH command
//   per iteration. 
//
// The children processes are created by the <load> command, and are
// attached to the same TXT terminal as the KSH process itself.
// A child process can be lauched in foreground or in background: 
// . when the child process is running in foreground, the KSH process loses
//   the TXT terminal ownership, that is transfered to the child process.
// . when the child process is running in background: the KSH process keeps
//   the TXT terminal ownership.
//
// A semaphore is used to synchronize the two KSH threads. At each iteration, 
// the interactive thread check the semaphore (with a sem_wait). It blocks 
// and deschedules, if the KSH process loosed the TXT ownership (after a load,
// or for any other cause. It unblocks with the following policy:
// . if the command is "not a load", the semaphore is incremented by the 
//   cmd_***() function when the command is completed, to allow the KSH interactive()
//   function to get the next command in the while loop.    
// . if the command is a "load without &", the TXT is given to the NEW process by the
//   execve() syscall, and is released to the KSH process when NEW process terminates.
//   The KSH process is notified and the KSH main() function increments the semahore 
//   to allow the KSH interactive() function to handle commands.
// . if the command is a "load with &", the cmd_load() function returns the TXT 
//   to the KSH process and increment the semaphore, when the parent KSH process 
//   returns from the fork() syscall.
