4.10.8 Using getline
into a Variable from a Coprocess
When you use ‘command |& getline var
’, the output from
the coprocess command
is sent through a two-way pipe to getline
and into the variable var
.
In this version of getline
, none of the predefined variables are
changed and the record is not split into fields. The only variable
changed is var
.
However, RT
is set.
