76 Qshell Interpreter (qsh)
read[ -r] [-pprompt ][-u[ n ]][ name ... ]
You can use read to read a line and split it into fields using the characters from the
IFS variable as delimiters. Normally, a backslash (\) at the end of a line causes the
line to be continued on the next line. qsh removes both the backslash and the
.
v -p When the interactive option is set, display prompt on stderr.
v -r A backslash at the end of a line does not mean continue the line.
v -u Read from descriptor n if specified or descriptor 0 by default. The descriptor
must be 0 or one that you opened with exec.
Each name is assigned to the corresponding field from the input line. Any leftover
fields are assigned to the last name. The default name is the REPLY variable.
v 0 when successful.
v >0 when unsuccessful.
v “exec - Run commands and open, close, or copy descriptors”
v “print - Write output”
