# Note the redirections are also within the quotes.
|

|
||
# We then pipe this to 'source 3<&0’.
|
||
#
|
||
# You might expect that the dup2(3, stdin) should overwrite stdin,
|
||
# and therefore prevent 'source' from reading the piped-in block. This doesn't happen
|
||
# because when you pipe to a builtin, we don't overwrite stdin with the read end
|
||
# of the block; instead we set a separate fd in a variable 'builtin_stdin', which is
|
||
# what it reads from. So builtins are magic in that, in pipes, their stdin
|
||
# is not fd 0.
|
||
#
|
||
# ‘source’ does not apply the redirections to itself. Instead it saves them and passes
|
||
# them as block-level redirections to parser.eval(). Ultimately the eval’d code sees
|
||
# the following redirections (in the following order):
|
||
# dup2 0 -> 3
|
||
# dup2 pipe -> 0
|
||
# dup2 3 -> 0
|
||
# where the pipe is the pipe we get from piping ‘echo’ to ‘source’. Thus the redirection
|
||
# effectively makes stdin fd0, instead of the thing that was piped to ‘source’
