Hi everyone,
First of all sorry for the newbish question. Basically, I need the syntax for the 'read' command. If I read the man page for read, i get the page for builtins but this does not have the syntax.
As you might imagine, googling for anything related to a command called 'read' gives results that are .... ironic, i guess. Lots of stuff about how i should read manual pages "I want to!" I tell it but that's no help.
So how might I figure this out short of examining source code?
thanks,
K. Plankton
