Execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, like sh; but its syntax is quite different from a traditional shell syntax. The execlineb program is meant to be used as an interpreter for a text file; the other commands are essentially useful inside an execlineb script.

Execline is as powerful as a shell: it features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling, filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile, its syntax is far more logic and predictable than the shell's syntax, and has no security issues.

Documentation is provided in execline-doc package.

Binaries are installed in /usr/lib/execline/bin. Use the /usr/bin/execlineb wrapper or add /usr/lib/execline/bin to PATH.
