Re: status and pipestatus

[Roman Perepelitsa <roman.perepelitsa@gmail.com>]

Here are a couple of examples where I don't want to use pipestatus.

Command: false | false; x=0
State after running the command: status=0, pipestatus=(1 1)

Command: true | true; x=$(false)
State after running the command: status=1, pipestatus=(0 0)

In these two examples status comes from x=..., while pipestatus comes
from the previous pipeline.
