Description

I am using a Google Pixelbook and have installed Termux. I have also invoked termux-setup-storage and I have installed the termux-api.

My goal is to use termux-storage-get

However, when I invoke termux-storage-get temp.txt nothing happens. I just see an empty line, and I have to enter ctrl-Z to get back to the command prompt.

I have posted a question on the forum requesting assistance, and the most recent recommendation was to post an issue here. See details of that thread at https://plus.google.com/u/0/106844796122727433808/posts/PV4mvAR2iSb?cfem=1

So please try to successfully invoke termux-storage-get on a Pixelbook or Chromebook that has Termux installed and that has the termux-api installed,

If there is a flaw in the implementation of termux-storage-get please fix it.

Also, it would be helpful to have some detailed examples of how to properly use termux-storage-get

Research direction

Start by reproducing termux-storage-get temp.txt on a Pixelbook or Chromebook with Termux and termux-api installed, then inspect the termux-storage-get entry point. Done means the command completes and retrieves the selected file instead of blocking; document a few correct usage examples as requested.
