// 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"]));
