`string join` joins its STRING arguments into a single string separated by SEP, which can be an empty string. Exit status: 0 if at least one join was performed, or 1 otherwise.
\subsection string-join0 "join0" subcommand
`string join` joins its STRING arguments into a single string separated by the zero byte (NUL), and adds a trailing NUL. This is most useful in conjunction with tools that accept NUL-delimited input, such as `sort -z`. Exit status: 0 if at least one join was performed, or 1 otherwise.
\subsection string-length "length" subcommand
`string length` reports the length of each string argument in characters. Exit status: 0 if at least one non-empty STRING was given, or 1 otherwise.
