  "description": "Concatenates operands to stdout. With no operands, reads **`bareStdin(ctx)`**. Operand **`-`** is stdin. When **`process.stdout.write`** exists (host), output uses it so trailing newlines are not altered; otherwise **`ctx.console.log`** is used per chunk.",
  "options": [
    { "flag": "-n", "meaning": "Number all lines (width 6, tab after number)." },
    { "flag": "-b", "meaning": "Number non-empty lines only (implies not **`-n`**)." },
    { "flag": "-A", "meaning": "Equivalent to **`-vET`** (show ends, tabs, and non-printing)." },
    { "flag": "-e", "meaning": "Like **`-vE`**." },
    { "flag": "-t", "meaning": "Like **`-vT`**." },
    { "flag": "-E", "meaning": "Show **$** before each newline." },
    { "flag": "-T", "meaning": "Show tabs as **^I**." },
