The man page for ksh on redhat says
read [-prsun] [parameter ...]
Reads a line of input from standard input, separate
the line
into fields using the IFS parameter (see Substitution
above),
and assign each field to the specified parameters.
However, when I type:
$ uname -a
Linux linux01 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 17 17:52:23 EDT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ /bin/ksh
$ echo aa bb cc dd | read a b c d
$ echo $a
/bin/ksh: a: parameter not set
it appears that there is either a bug in ksh or the documentation is
wrong.
Is there either a newer version of ksh or doc?
How can I tell the version number of the /bin/ksh that comes as a part
of redhat linux?
