Synopsis: read builtin function of sh does not read standard input State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->suspended State-Changed-By: stefanf State-Changed-When: Thu Dec 8 19:16:48 GMT 2005 State-Changed-Why: Suspend this PR as the current behaviour (while not exactly desirable) is allowed by POSIX and isn't really a bug. Of course a nice patch would be gladly accepted. # 2.12 Shell Execution Environment # # Additionally, each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a subshell # environment; as an extension, however, any or all commands in a pipeline may # be executed in the current environment. This means forking, executing read and setting variables in a sub-shell is allowed. Other shells implement this extension, FreeBSD's does not. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=45584
