in reply to Re^8: shebang anomaly
in thread shebang anomaly
I think you want to replace "shell" with "kernel". I suppose it could be in libc, but I'm certain it's not in /bin/sh, except for cygwin.
No, sorry, shells have to have a fallback mechanism if your O/S claims POSIX compatibility. See Re^2: Shebang behavior with perl. It's not in libc. But yes, usually the kernel extracts the interpreter and the argument (note: singular) from the shebang line.
