Subject: {var}>& redirections with complex commands
Date: Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:46:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <110808204614.ZM1462@torch.brasslantern.com> (raw)
There are a lot of cases in which ordinary numeric redirections would be
accepted but where one cannot use these redirections. E.g. this is OK:
torch% foo() { print $one $two }
torch% foo {one}<&0 {two}<&0
11 12
But none of these are:
torch% {one}<&0 {two}<&0 foo
zsh: parse error near `{'
torch% ( print $one $two ) {one}<&0 {two}<&0
zsh: parse error near `{'
torch% { print $one $two } {one}<&0 {two}<&0
zsh: parse error near `{'
Same for various loop constructs, anonymous functions, etc.
{var} can only be used at the end of a simple command, and therefore the
only ways to reference the fd via the variable are to create the fd with
"exec" or to use a function. This should at least be clarified in the
documentation.
