My solutions, unless otherwise noted, are POSIX compliant, which means they work on all varieties of Linux and Unix.

Whilst I admire the long-running POSIX dream, there are people out there running proprietary or legacy systems. We need to ascertain the environment before providing a solution.

There are very few legacy systems, probably a fraction of 1 percent.

The vast majority of POSIX-compliant scripts will also run on the vast majority of legacy systems because the POSIX standard was based on existing practice. The environment is only relevant for a diminishingly minute number of queries.
