Bash can also use FIFOs for process substitution [1]. FreeBSD does not use fdescfs by default, but it can be mounted, and using fdescfs for process substitution is provided as an optional feature in shells/bash. It would be nice to not grow a dependency on fdescfs for dtc. =) [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Process-Substitution.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree-compiler" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
