The history command doesn't seem to work when given a FIFO instead of a file. I was trying to load
history from FIFO using either 'history -r <(echo "$hist")' or 'echo "$hist" |
history -r /dev/stdin', but neither of these seem to work, due to the command being unable to handle
FIFOs.
As the second command doesn't make for a valid test case, I'll add some
additional context.
# Succeeds
echo injected > commandlist; ( history -r commandlist && history 1 )
# Fails
echo injected | { history -r /dev/stdin && history 1; }
