Zig CLI Tool Fundamentals: Files, Arguments, Exit Codes, and Logs

A practical two-hour session on Zig CLI Tool Fundamentals, focused on Files, Arguments, Exit Codes, and Logs. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig CLI Tool Fundamentals
• Apply Files in a small working example
• Apply Arguments in a small working example
• Apply Exit Codes in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
