Package: backtickname Version: 1.3 Revision: 1 Description: Pipe utility "y": treats backticks as filenames DescDetail: << The y utility is used to create systems of pipes and fifos (named pipes) more complicated than standard shell syntax allows. A single invocation of y has the following effect: a temporary fifo is created; the name of this fifo is printed on standard output; and y exits, leaving a child process in the background to copy any data received on standard input to the fifo. The net effect of this is that you can use the expression `subcommand | y` anywhere on a command line that you would use a filename, and the output of subcommand will be piped appropriately to create the illusion that `subcommand | y` is a file, containing the output of subcommand. << License: Public Domain Maintainer: Daniel Macks Replaces: ypipe Source: http://pantransit.reptiles.org/prog/archive/y.tar.gz Source-MD5: e40568e9767225e9ca20e9e62008a151 Patch: %f.patch CompileScript: << cc -Wall y.c -o y head -2 y.c > README << InstallScript: << install -m 0755 -d %i/bin %i/share/man/man1 install -m 0755 y %i/bin/ install -m 0644 y.1 %i/share/man/man1/ << DocFiles: README
