This looks to be a very specific tool to check URLs on the command line. Terminal emulators don't care about that. Even shells running in those terminal emulators don't care about those specifics because why would they. One could easily want to do something with a funny url like that that doesn't involve content fetching etc.


Similarly I have for Linux

    epoch () {
        if [[ -z "${1:-}" ]]
        then
                date +'%s'
        else
                date --date="@${1}"
        fi
    }

    % epoch
    1761245789

    % epoch 1761245789

On Linux you also have

    % cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid
