Subject: grep < fifo fails
Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2018 15:37:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d56a12c77ecc441ca7dc2e8e1862145c@prosa.dk> (raw)
This works:
$ mkfifo fifo
$ echo > fifo & grep . fifo
[1] 10232
[1]+ Done echo > fifo
But this fails:
$ echo > fifo & grep . < fifo
[1] 11756
grep: (standard input): Invalid argument
[1]+ Done echo > fifo
I see the same behavior on MINGW, but I do not see the same behavior on GNU/Linux.
Regards,
Ole Tange
