(Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather than "head -1" as
...
example of obsolete usage, since the POSIX consensus is that "head -1"
could be supported even if we don't yet have clear consensus on "head
-10". See today's revision to the SUS FAQ

checks. Explain what the portabile file name character set is.
