NAME
       chsh - change your login shell

SYNOPSIS
       chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]

DESCRIPTION
       chsh  is	 used  to change your login shell.  If a shell is not given on
       the command line, chsh prompts for one.

   VALID SHELLS
       chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on  the  sys‐
       tem.   However,	it  will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
       the /etc/shells file.  On the other hand, it  can  also	be  configured
       such  that  it  will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
       are root.

OPTIONS
       -s, --shell shell
	      Specify your login shell.

       -l, --list-shells
	      Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.

       -u, --help
	      Print a usage message and exit.

       -v, --version
	      Print version information and exit.
