+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The positional parameters shall be shifted. Positional parameter 1
+shall be assigned the value of parameter (1+\fIn\fP), parameter 2 shall
+be assigned the value of parameter (2+\fIn\fP), and so on. The
+parameters represented by the numbers
+.BR \(dq$#\(dq
+down to
+.BR \(dq$#\(min+1\(dq
+shall be unset, and the parameter
+.BR '#'
+is updated to reflect the new number of positional parameters.
+.P
+The value
+.IR n
+shall be an unsigned decimal integer less than or equal to the value of
+the special parameter
+.BR '#' .
+If
+.IR n
+is not given, it shall be assumed to be 1. If
+.IR n
+is 0, the positional and special parameters are not changed.
