read(1) from a pipe

[Go Phone]

Hello,

Inferno read(1) does not take a file argument.

I want to read from a pipe within an sh(1) script and cat(1) needs an
eof to exit.

Just curious if there is an alternative method of reading from a pipe
on inferno before I patch read(1) to have a file argument?

Thanks

How were you planning to use read with a file argument if you're trying to read from a pipe?

Is it binary or text? For text applications perhaps getlines might be better.
