hello world interj. 1. the canonical minimal test message in the c/unix
   universe. 2. any of the minimal programs that emit this message.
   traditionally, the first program a c coder is supposed to write in a new
   environment is one that just prints "hello, world" to standard output
   and indeed it is the first example program in kr. environments that
   generate an unreasonably large executable for this trivial test or which
   require a hairy compiler-linker invocation to generate it are
   considered to lose see x. 3. greeting uttered by a hacker making
   an entrance or requesting information from anyone present. "hello,
