Yeah, I agree with you regarding the UUOC one.
The test with -- was just bulk try just to see if it would get the -- as an end of options and see how it would handle the rest of the command line.
I ran it on an AIX machine which didn't return an error message, but a fooled output instead, with some strange control character (the kind of output that sometimes may mess up your PuTTY screen ...)
As Yoda and Scruti noticed, I think the confusing point was that, $(< /dev/urandom tr -dc '[:alnum:],@#:!?+-' | head -c10 )
is not interpreted as the special case $(<filename) but as the $( cmd )
This brings me to the question :
Does the special case $(<filename) support only and strictly 1 file ?

Hello,
I'm on a remote computer by SSH. How can I get the output of "cat file" into a file on the local computer?
I cannot use scp, because it's blocked.
something like:
ssh root@remote_maschine "cat /file" > /locale_machine/file

iswalnum
ISWALNUM(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ISWALNUM(3)
NAME
iswalnum - test for alphanumeric wide character
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
int iswalnum(wint_t wc);
DESCRIPTION
The iswalnum() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isalnum(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to
the wide-character class "alnum".
The wide-character class "alnum" is a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character
class "print".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space"
and its subclass "blank".
The wide-character class "alnum" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".
The wide-character class "alnum" is the union of the wide-character classes "alpha" and "digit". As such, it also contains the wide-char-
acter class "xdigit".
The wide-character class "alnum" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'Z', 'a' to 'z' and the digits '0' to '9'.
RETURN VALUE
The iswalnum() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "alnum". Otherwise it returns
zero.
CONFORMING TO
C99.
NOTES
The behavior of iswalnum() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
