``read -N n -t timeout'' saves partial input only when EOF is seen?
See following example: # echo $BASH_VERSION 4.4.5(2)-release # ( printf 12345 ) | ( read -t 1 -N 10 v; echo "<$v>" ) <12345> # ( printf 12345; sleep 2 ) | ( read -t 1 -N 10 v; echo "<$v>" ) <> # The second "read" did not save "12345" to "v". Is this a bug? -clark

There's an incredibly obscure ksh flavour too :-) $ ksh -c $'alias @=\'echo test >&2; )$( @ \'\n$( @ )' 2>&1 | head -n3 test test test Ok I'm done. (unless maybe backticks...)
