> Bash builtin for creating interactive asynchronous subshells.

|
|
|
|
- Run a subshell asynchronously:
|
|
|
|
`coproc { {{command1; command2; ...}}; }`
|
|
|
|
- Create a coprocess with a specific name:
|
|
|
|
`coproc {{name}} { {{command1; command2; ...}}; }`
|
|
|
|
- Write to a specific coprocess `stdin`:
|
|
|
|
`echo "{{input}}" >&"${{{name}}[1]}"`
|
|
|
|
- Read from a specific coprocess `stdout`:
|
|
|
|
`read {{variable}} <&"${{{name}}[0]}"`
|
|
|
|
- Create a coprocess which repeatedly reads `stdin` and runs some commands on the input:
|
|
|
|
`coproc {{name}} { while read line; do {{command1; command2; ...}}; done }`
|
|
|
|
- Create and use a coprocess running `bc`:
|
|
|
|
`coproc BC { bc --mathlib; }; echo "1/3" >&"${BC[1]}"; read output <&"${BC[0]}"; echo "$output"`
