    //////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////// MY PROJECT ///////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////////////////

    Creates a 50-character header with the title "MY PROJECT" centered using /.

    headers -s "#" -l 60 "My Header"

    Output:

    ############################################################
######################## MY HEADER ########################
############################################################

    Creates a 60-character header with # symbols surrounding "MY HEADER".

    headers -sl -s "//" "Single Line"

    Output:

    //////////////////////////////////// SINGLE LINE ////////////////////////////////////

    Generates a single-line header formatted with // symbols.
