| Apr 8, 2014 at 22:29 | comment | added | mikeserv | Put that in your answer. I can't upvote it again - but others can. Thank you, by the way. | |
| Apr 8, 2014 at 22:24 | comment | added | countermode | All right then. Linux: /dev/fd/* are symlinks to /proc/self/fd. FreeBSD: /dev/fd/* is provided through fdescfs. NetBSD: same as FreeBSD. OpenBSD: same as FreeBSD. Solaris: has /dev/fd/*. IRIX: has /dev/fd/*. Tru64 Unix: has /dev/fd/* (according to nixdoc.net, the genuine Tru64 documentation at HP is inscrutable). AIX: no indication found from publicly available documentation. HP-UX: same as AIX. | |
| Apr 8, 2014 at 21:40 | comment | added | mikeserv | Yeah. I guess prof fd showed up after all, huh? So, better luck next time? | |
| Apr 7, 2014 at 22:58 | comment | added | mikeserv | If you ever find the time just to expand on that only a little more I'll accept this answer, i think, barring any surprise prof fd posts, that is. In any case the first article linked to was an enlightening read - thank you very much. | |
| Apr 7, 2014 at 22:54 | comment | added | countermode | I haven't access to a BSD system right now, but that's how I understand it, yes. | |
| Apr 7, 2014 at 21:39 | comment | added | mikeserv | So I'll find a /dev/fd/1 on a BSD that links to my current 1>? One thing i commonly do in linux is echo 'command' | . /dev/fd/0 - is this sort of thing likely to work across the board, do you think? | |
