       The  positional  parameters  shall  be  shifted.  Positional  parameter  1 shall be assigned the value of
       parameter (1+n), parameter 2 shall be assigned the value of parameter (2+n), and so  on.  The  parameters
       represented  by  the  numbers  "$#"  down to "$#-n+1" shall be unset, and the parameter '#' is updated to
       reflect the new number of positional parameters.

       The value n shall be an unsigned decimal integer less than or equal to the value of the special parameter
       '#'.  If n is not given, it shall be assumed to be 1. If n is 0, the positional  and  special  parameters
       are not changed.

       If  the  n  operand  is invalid or is greater than "$#", this may be considered a syntax error and a non-
       interactive shell may exit; if the shell does not exit in this case, a  non-zero  exit  status  shall  be
       returned. Otherwise, zero shall be returned.
