bash shell-script portability shellcheck

                          I want strict mode in my scripts. I would also appreciate portability.

[set -o pipefail](https://www.translucentcomputing.com/2020/11/unofficial-bash-strict-mode-pipefail/)  seems compulsory. Yet shellcheck(a static linter) is unhappy that "In POSIX sh, set option pipefail is undefined".

Is it correct? If so, is this a bash solely feature or is it rather prolific?
