<<<, < <(..)

[!TIP]

  • < <( is Process Substitution

    • The difference between <(...) and >(...) is merely which way the redirections are done

< <(..) && > >(..)

[!NOTE]

  • process substitution

  • syntax

    $ command1 < <( command2 )
# equals to
$ command2 | command1

# if read from file, then using `< /path/to/file`

  • SubShell

  • example:

    $ while read line; do echo "-- ${line} --"; done < <(ls -1)

# equals to: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/024
$ ls -1 | while read line; do echo "-- ${line} --"; done
# equals to
$ ls -1 | xargs -n1 -i bash -c "echo \"-- {} --\""

# equals to read from file via `< /path/to/file`
$ ls -1 > ls.txt
$ while read line; do echo "-- ${line} --"; done < ls.txt
$ wc < <(date)
    1       6      29

# same as:
$ date | wc
    1       6      29

  • < <(..)

    [!TIP|label:referencs:]

    • subshell

    • tips:

      # If commandA can read the data from stdin
commandB | commandA                 # You can now get the exit code of commandB from PIPESTATUS.
commandB > >(commandA)              # You can now get the exit code of commandB from $? (or by putting this in an if)

# If commandA cannot read it from stdin, but requires a file argument
commandB > >(commandA <(cat))       # Again, commandB's exit code is available from $?

# You can also keep commandB's output in memory.  When you do this, you can get commandB's exit code from $? or put the assignment in an if
b=$(commandB); commandA <<< "$b"    # Here, commandA reads commandB's output from stdin

    • common usage

      $ diff <(sort list1) <(sort list2)

# or
$ while read file; do
    echo -e "\n\033[1;33m${file}\n---\033[0m"
    sed -n "/<<<<<<< HEAD/,/>>>>>>> /!d;=;p" ${file}
    echo -e "\n\033[1;33m---\033[0m"
  done < <(git grep --no-color -l "<<<<<<< HEAD")

  • > >(..)

    [!TIP]

    • Process Substitution

      • >(...) is used less frequently; the most common situation is in conjunction with tee(1).

      • >(...) is handy when redirecting the output to multiple files, based on some criteria.

    # For example:
$ some_command | tee >(grep A > A.out) >(grep B > B.out) >(grep C > C.out) > /dev/null

    • 5.2 Bash Variables - PS4

      PS4 The value of this parameter is expanded like PS1 and the expanded value is the prompt printed before the command line is echoed when the -x option is set (see The Set Builtin). The first character of the expanded value is replicated multiple times, as necessary, to indicate multiple levels of indirection. The default is ‘+ ’.

    $ export PS4='+\033[37;2;3m(${BASH_SOURCE}:${LINENO})\033[0m: \033[35;2;3m${FUNCNAME[0]:+${FUNCNAME[0]}():}\033[0m '
# or
$ export PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE}:${LINENO}): ${FUNCNAME[0]:+${FUNCNAME[0]}(): }'

# even more:
$ export PS4='Line $LINENO @ $(date +%s.%N): '

  • LINENO and BASH_LINENO

    [!NOTE|label:references:]

    • Bash VariablesBASH_LINENO An array variable whose members are the line numbers in source files where each corresponding member of FUNCNAME was invoked. ${BASH_LINENO[$i]} is the line number in the source file (${BASH_SOURCE[$i+1]}) where ${FUNCNAME[$i]} was called (or ${BASH_LINENO[$i-1]} if referenced within another shell function). Use LINENO to obtain the current line number.

      FUNCNAME An array variable containing the names of all shell functions currently in the execution call stack. The element with index 0 is the name of any currently-executing shell function. The bottom-most element (the one with the highest index) is "main". This variable exists only when a shell function is executing. Assignments to FUNCNAME have no effect. If FUNCNAME is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subsequently reset.

      This variable can be used with BASH_LINENO and BASH_SOURCE. Each element of FUNCNAME has corresponding elements in BASH_LINENO and BASH_SOURCE to describe the call stack. For instance, ${FUNCNAME[$i]} was called from the file ${BASH_SOURCE[$i+1]} at line number ${BASH_LINENO[$i]}. The caller builtin displays the current call stack using this information.

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

function log() {
  echo "LINENO: ${LINENO}"
  echo "BASH_LINENO: ${BASH_LINENO[*]}; LINENO: ${LINENO}"
}

function foo() { log "$@"; }

foo "$@"
    # result
$ bash -x debug.sh
+(debug.sh:12):  foo
+(debug.sh:9): foo(): log
+(debug.sh:4): log(): echo 'LINENO: 4'
LINENO: 4
+(debug.sh:5): log(): echo 'BASH_LINENO: 9 12 0; LINENO: 5'
BASH_LINENO: 9 12 0; LINENO: 5
