Bug 0000890: Here-document in a command string (sh -c) Accepted as marked. http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=890 This bug was reopened so that we can address the points raised by Stephane Chazelas on the email list about covering "eval" and about the file descriptor not necessarily being opened to a regular file. This item is tagged for TC2-2008. The new changes are as follows: On Page: 2335 Line: 74224 Section: 2.7.4 Here-Document Change from: The redirection operators "<<" and "<<-" both allow redirection of lines contained in a shell input file, known as a "here-document", to the input of a command. to: The redirection operators "<<" and "<<-" both allow redirection of subsequent lines read by the shell to the input of a command. The redirected lines are known as a "here-document". On Page: 2335 Line: 74233 Section: 2.7.4 Here-Document After: where the optional n represents the file descriptor number. If the number is omitted, the here-document refers to standard input (file descriptor 0). add a new sentence: It is unspecified whether the file descriptor is opened as a regular file, a special file, or a pipe. Portable applications cannot rely on the file descriptor being seekable (see [xref to XSH lseek()]).
