# Sh
[](http://travis-ci.org/devinus/sh)
[](https://www.gittip.com/devinus/)
An Elixir module inspired by Python's [sh](http://amoffat.github.io/sh/)
package. `Sh` allows you to call any program as if it were a function.
## Example
```iex
iex> Sh.echo "Hello World!"
"Hello World!\n"
```
## Options
`Sh` commands accept as the last argument a list of options.
```elixir
Sh.curl "http://example.com/", o: "page.html", silent: true
""
```
The equivalent call without using this feature would be:
```elixir
Sh.curl "-o", "page.html", "--silent", "http://example.com/"
```
## Underscores
Underscores in a program name or keyword options are converted to dashes.
