22 ;;; Commentary:
24 ;; At the moment, only output redirection is supported in Eshell. To
25 ;; use input redirection, the following syntax will work, assuming
26 ;; that the command after the pipe is always an external command:
28 ;; cat <file> | <command>
30 ;; Otherwise, output redirection and piping are provided in a manner
31 ;; consistent with most shells. Therefore, only unique features are
32 ;; mentioned here.
34 ;;;_* Insertion
36 ;; To insert at the location of point in a buffer, use '>>>':
38 ;; echo alpha >>> #<buffer *scratch*>;
40 ;;;_* Pseudo-devices
42 ;; A few pseudo-devices are provided, since Emacs cannot write
43 ;; directly to a UNIX device file:
45 ;; echo alpha > /dev/null ; the bit bucket
46 ;; echo alpha > /dev/kill ; set the kill ring
47 ;; echo alpha >> /dev/clip ; append to the clipboard
49 ;;;_* Multiple output targets
51 ;; Eshell can write to multiple output targets, including pipes.
52 ;; Example:
54 ;; (+ 1 2) > a > b > c ; prints number to all three files
55 ;; (+ 1 2) > a | wc ; prints to 'a', and pipes to 'wc'
