Summary

Clarifies that C# files need a shebang (#!) directive to be directly executable on Unix systems with ./filename.cs.

Changes:

  • Added "(shebang)" after #! for clarity
  • Modified sentence to specify "such a C# file that contains the shebang directive"
  • Added "directly" to distinguish from dotnet run

Before:

On any unix system, if you set the execute (+x) permission on a C# file, you can run the C# file from the command line:

After:

On any unix system, if you set the execute (+x) permission on such a C# file that contains the shebang directive, you can run the C# file directly from the command line:

This prevents beginner confusion about why ./hello.cs doesn't work without the shebang.

Fixes #47108
