.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBmispipe\fR pipes two commands
|
|
together like the shell does, but unlike piping in the
|
|
shell, the exit status of the first command is returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that some shells, notably \fBbash\fR,
|
|
do offer a pipefail option, however, that option does not
|
|
behave the same since it makes a failure of any command in
|
|
the pipeline be returned, not just the exit status of the
|
|
first.
|
|
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
|
|
The exit status of the first command. If the process
|
|
terminated abnormally (due to a signal), 128 will be added
|
|
to its exit status.
