NAME

6       mispipe - pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mispipe ["command1"] ["command2"]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mispipe  pipes  two  commands  together like the shell does, but unlike
13       piping in the shell, the exit status of the first command is returned.
14
15       Note that some shells, notably bash, do offer a pipefail option, howev‐
16       er,  that  option  does not behave the same since it makes a failure of
17       any command in the pipeline be returned, not just the  exit  status  of
18       the first.
19

EXIT STATUS

21       The  exit status of the first command. If the process terminated abnor‐
22       mally (due to a signal), 128 will be added to its exit status.
