+// 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!")
+
+// Additional arguments can be passed after the stdin argument, as an array of
+// strings, or a sequence of varargs (if there is no stdin, null or undefined
+// can be passed):
+$EXEC("ls", undefined, "-l", "-a")
+$EXEC("ls", undefined, ["-l", "-a"])
+
+// Output of running external commands is returned from $EXEC:
+print($EXEC("ls"))
+
+// apply on $EXEC
+print($EXEC.apply(this, ["ls"]));
