// The $EXEC builtin function can be used to run external commands:

$EXEC("ls")

$EXEC("ls -la")

// It can also be given a string to use as stdin:

$EXEC("cat", "Hello, world!")

// Arguments can be passed as an array of strings

$EXEC(["ls","-l","-a"]);

// Output of running external commands is returned from $EXEC:

print($EXEC("ls"))

// apply on $EXEC

print($EXEC.apply(this, ["ls"]));
