In Shell we can use within the script other languages like awk and sed, I wonder if it would be possible to use the C language, and if yes, as.

Inside a shell script it is not possible to have native C code, like the case you mentioned from sed and of awk. I think it’s valid to think that in a shell script you can do everything you could do right at the terminal. For C, you need your own code and a compiler and therefore you can’t run it straight into . sh

However, you can make calls to an external C script if it is already compiled, for example

hello_world. c:

#include <stdio.h>

void main(){
    printf("hello world!\n");
}

hello sh.:

#!/bin/bash
./hello_world

after compiling the C (gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world), rotate the .sh and the exit will be

hello world!
