 A generic shell script compiler. Shc takes a script, which is specified on the command line and produces C source code. The generated source code is then compiled and linked to produce a stripped binary executable.
 
-The compiled binary will still be dependent on the shell specified in the first line of the shell code (i.e shebang) (i.e. #!/bin/sh), thus shc does not create completely independent binaries.
+The compiled binary will still be dependent on the shell specified in the first line of the shell code (i.e shebang) (i.e. `#!/bin/sh`), thus shc does not create completely independent binaries.
 
 shc itself is not a compiler such as cc, it rather encodes and encrypts a shell script and generates C source code with the added expiration capability. It then uses the system compiler to compile a stripped binary which behaves exactly like the original script. Upon execution, the compiled binary will decrypt and execute the code with the shell -c option.

-The one (and I hope the only) limitation using shc is the _SC_ARG_MAX system configuration parameter.

 It limits the maximum length of the arguments to the exec function, limiting the maximum length of the runnable script of shc.
