/*!
 * \mainpage
 *    Snel is a shell implementation for A.U.TH (Operating systems Lab).
 *    The shell execute the user commands in separate child processes.
 *
 *    It supports:
 *    * Interactive mode
 *    * Batch mode
 *    * # line comments
 *    * std redirection
 *    * &&, || operators and ; seperator
 *    * pipes
 *
 *    The implementation is based on a 2 dimensional sequencer. One dimension
 *    is the command chains, namely the commands separated with ';' and the other
 *    is the chains (the commands to run as one expression like ls && date).
 *    For more information look at \see Sequencer.
