Exact meaning of the "world" in "hello world"

Exact meaning of the "world" in "hello world"
Hello!
I have a question to native English-speaking people. In the popular program's "hello world" greeting, what meaning the "world" has: "all", "everybody", "people", "friends" or "whole world", "planet", "Earth", "Universe"?
In other words, to whom this greeting is addressed: to the people capable to see program's output, or to the whole world or whole Universe?
Here in Russia, "hello world" is usually translated as "привет, мир" that means the "hello whole world", "hello Universe" or "hello planet". I'm afraid that the correct meaning should be like "hello all", "hello everybody", "hello people" or similar.
I tried to search in dictonaries but "hello world" is so common phrase so it is not explained. I'm afraid its meaning is trivial for every native English-speaking person.
Could somebody please explain?
Regards,
Eugene
