Honestly, a "restricted shell" is usually a pitiful thing that would be
a joke, except it's not even funny.  It's what people tried to use for
security back in like 1990 when nobody had a clue about security.

Typically the users find a way out of the "restricted shell" within a
couple hours by trying shell escapes in every command available to them
(man page viewer, text editor, etc.) until one of them works.

I have no idea what the POSIX standard has to do with your question,
though.
