Subject: git-bisect: weird usage of read(1)
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:57:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <38b2ab8a0808110657y24ac9526wca4acea3bddaec00@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello

I found this in git bisect:

              printf >&2 'Are you sure [Y/n]? '
              case "$(read yesno)" in [Nn]*) exit 1 ;; esac

which looks very weird since read(1) returns a status and not the
string reads from std input.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks
