What definition? What if there is a script that calls a program and |
| 16 |
redirects the output to /tmp and then calls another program that uses |
| 17 |
the ouput? Would that be wrong? Does the script count as a program or |
| 18 |
each command separately? See this example: |
| 19 |
cat $(find -name regexps) > /tmp/all_regexps |
| 20 |
egrep -f /tmp/all_regexps some_file |
