\subsection psub-description Description
|
|
|
|
Posix shells feature a syntax that is a mix between command
|
|
substitution and piping, called process substitution. It is used to
|
|
send the output of a command into the calling command, much like
|
|
command substitution, but with the difference that the output is not
|
|
sent through commandline arguments but through a named pipe, with the
|
|
filename of the named pipe sent as an argument to the calling
|
|
program. The psub shellscript function, which when combined with a
|
|
regular command substitution provides the same functionality.

\subsection psub-example Example
|
|
|
|
<tt>diff (sort a.txt|psub) (sort b.txt|psub)</tt> shows the difference
|
|
between the sorted versions of files a.txt and b.txt.
