This is the only attempt I’ve ever made at a command line tool for macOS.

If you’ve never made one before, you might find it useful.

	import Foundation
	print("Hello, World!")
	var arguments = CommandLine.arguments
	print(arguments.count)
	for argument in arguments {print(argument)}
	var inputString = String()
	while inputString != "quit"
	{
	inputString = readLine()!
	print("You said: \(inputString)")
	}
	print("The program has ended")

If you have, you probably won’t.
