$3\mathrm{.}2$ In a software development environment, a team of developers collaborates on

a complex coding project involving multiple programming languages, libraries,

and frameworks. As the project progresses, developers encounter challenges

in seamlessly integrating various components and analysing the output of

different commands and programs. They realise the need to facilitate the

efficient and standardised exchange of text$-$based data within the Linux

operating system to streamline their workflow. Data exchange must happen

while the components' details are hidden from the application. Evaluate the

fundamental concepts that text applications can leverage to achieve the

programmers' objective of facilitating the efficient and standardised exchange

of text data.
