An object that extends the App trait becomes the entry point of a Scala application, and the body of the object will be run. Any command-line arguments will be available through the args object of type Array[String], which is inherited from the App trait.

An object that contains a main(args: Array[String]) method. It is similar to Java.

• | is supported, use #|. All commands are in quotes.
• Redirect output (>) using #>.
• Append to a file (>>) using #>>.
• Redirect input (<) using #<.
• Execute q if p was successful: p #&& q.
