Description:
Hiya,
is there a way to tell bash *not* to change the termios setting
when using read -d when the fd is a terminal?
I tried
read -u0 -d x var # as in zsh's read -u0 -k 10
read -u4 -d x var 4<&0
to no avail.
I think it's not that much of a useful feature given that it
can be implemented more nicely (i.e. the user can still use
backspace, <Ctrl-W>...) with "stty eol" and standard read or dd,
so it would be nice to be able to disable it.
I'm not saying "read -d" is not useful, just that one may not
want the extra undocumented behavior for terminal fds.
Best regards,
Stephane
