specifies an interpreter for the program. The shell will
execute the specified interpreter on operating systems that do
not handle this executable format in the kernel.
If no external command is found but a function tt(command_not_found_handler)
exists the shell executes this function with all
command line arguments. The function should return status zero if it
successfully handled the command, or non-zero status if it failed.
In the latter case the standard handling is applied: `command not
found' is printed to standard error and the shell exits with status 127.
Note that the handler is executed in a subshell forked to execute
an external command, hence changes to directories, shell parameters,
etc. have no effect on the main shell.
