NAME
mispipe - pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the firstSYNOPSIS
- mispipe ["command1"] ["command2"]
DESCRIPTION
mispipe
Note that some shells, notably bash, 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.
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.
