Patch Level: 37
Release Status: release
Description:
For a compound command like "if" or "while" and with
an unsuccessful test, the last element of PIPESTATUS is not the
return status of the compound but that of the test command.
For example, "if false; then :; fi" returns 0 but ${PIPESTATUS[0]}
is 1.
If the pipeline consists of more than one command, like
"if false; then :; fi | true" or "true | if false; then :; fi"
then it behaves as I would expect, i.e. all elements of
PIPESTATUS are zero.
Repeat-By:
$ if false; then :; fi
$ echo "ret = $?, status = ${PIPESTATUS[*]}"
ret = 0, status = 1
