Substitute for 'read' to read file descriptors

angy · #1 February 9th, 2010, 17:03

Hi!

I'm quite new to using FreeBSD in my network environment, I'm currently using, under linux, a script using a bunch of 'read' command to get the inputs of fd1.

The linux syntax I use is:

Code:

read -u 1 -d $'\0' from

I try to use read under FreeBSD but I cannot pass this arguments.
Is there a replacing command for that?

Thanks,
A

Looks like a bash thing

You could just install shells/bash and run the script on that. All you would need to do is to change the first line:

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
