Subject: [PATCH RESEND tig 1/2] Document how to use pipes and redirection with 'bind'
Date: Sat,  2 May 2020 20:48:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200502184825.26707-1-wsa@kernel.org> (raw)

When my bind command using a pipe did not work, I grepped through the
docs for 'pipe' and 'redirection' with no results. Only after I found
out in the issues tracker that it was intentional, then I noticed the
solution in the examples, too.

Add a paragraph to make it more explicit.
