I think you misunderstood the question. For example, bash provides
demo and contrib packages. Demo contains demo scripts to show the
various features of a shell, and contrib contains extra functionality
written by people who are not in the core development team but are
otherwise thought to be useful.

in ksh user extension are called builtins and have an main(argc,argv,context) 
api
its described in the nav bar at
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
AST => ksh => builtins
ksh has some builtins implemented directly in its source
there and many other ast builtins implemented in
src/lib/libcmd
