Extended Example: Bash-lite: A Simple Command-line Shell
========================================================

This Extended Example creates a minimal shell similar to the bash shell used in Linux and macOS.
When this program runs, it will read a line of text at a time from the user. This line will be used
as a command line, running in a separate process. The user can enter ``quit`` or ``logout`` to exit.
