You can install a GUI program to telnet/ssh /out/ of the iPhone/iPad and access 
the command-line on a computer.  I’ve seen sysadmins use iPads that way.  You 
can’t write a program to shell into the iDevice.  It doesn’t run the 
appropriate daemons.

There is no command-line shell in iOS.  You might find 'sh' installed, but 
there’s no way, short of jailbreaking the phone, to run it.  And if you did run 
it via a GUI app, it would be sandboxed, with no way to access files outside of 
its own storage area.  Because sandboxing and strong security are what ensures 
nothing can interfere with the phone functions of the iPhone, which is a legal 
requirement.

Of course, you could jailbreak your iPhone.  But frankly it’s simpler to leave 
your iPhone all nice and secure and buy a cheap Android phone for hacking on.
