Expected output EXAMPLE

Hello, terminal!

Details

Run in Bash on GNU/Linux in a scratch directory. Tested with the GNU utilities supplied by Ubuntu.

Keep in mind

File examples use disposable names in your current directory. Start in an empty practice directory to avoid replacing existing files.

✓ Verified

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · · GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) · bash 5.2.21-2ubuntu4; coreutils 9.4-3ubuntu6.3

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
