+6.10 The Restricted Shell
+=========================
+
+If Bash is started with the name 'rbash', or the '--restricted' or '-r'
+option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A
+restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than
+the standard shell. A restricted shell behaves identically to 'bash'
+with the exception that the following are disallowed or not performed:
+
+ * Changing directories with the 'cd' builtin.
+ * Setting or unsetting the values of the 'SHELL', 'PATH', 'ENV', or
+ 'BASH_ENV' variables.
+ * Specifying command names containing slashes.
+ * Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '.'
+ builtin command.
+ * Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '-p'
+ option to the 'hash' builtin command.
+ * Importing function definitions from the shell environment at
+ startup.
+ * Parsing the value of 'SHELLOPTS' from the shell environment at
+ startup.
+ * Redirecting output using the '>', '>|', '<>', '>&', '&>', and '>>'
+ redirection operators.
+ * Using the 'exec' builtin to replace the shell with another command.
+ * Adding or deleting builtin commands with the '-f' and '-d' options
+ to the 'enable' builtin.
+ * Using the 'enable' builtin command to enable disabled shell
+ builtins.
+ * Specifying the '-p' option to the 'command' builtin.
+ * Turning off restricted mode with 'set +r' or 'set +o restricted'.
+
+These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
+
+When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed (*note
+Shell Scripts::), 'rbash' turns off any restrictions in the shell
+spawned to execute the script.
