31 different kinds of objects -- symbols, files, buffers, etc. -- as
32 though they were files."

34 :group 'eshell)
36 ;;; Commentary:
38 ;; At the moment, only output redirection is supported in Eshell. To
39 ;; use input redirection, the following syntax will work, assuming
40 ;; that the command after the pipe is always an external command:
42 ;; cat <file> | <command>
44 ;; Otherwise, output redirection and piping are provided in a manner
45 ;; consistent with most shells. Therefore, only unique features are
46 ;; mentioned here.
48 ;;;_* Insertion
50 ;; To insert at the location of point in a buffer, use '>>>':
52 ;; echo alpha >>> #<buffer *scratch*>;
54 ;;;_* Pseudo-devices
56 ;; A few pseudo-devices are provided, since Emacs cannot write
57 ;; directly to a UNIX device file:
59 ;; echo alpha > /dev/null ; the bit bucket
60 ;; echo alpha > /dev/kill ; set the kill ring
61 ;; echo alpha >> /dev/clip ; append to the clipboard
63 ;;;_* Multiple output targets
65 ;; Eshell can write to multiple output targets, including pipes.
66 ;; Example:
68 ;; (+ 1 2) > a > b > c ; prints number to all three files
69 ;; (+ 1 2) > a | wc ; prints to 'a', and pipes to 'wc'
