Example 1, from the pipe man page. The parent then writes the string contained in the program's command-line argument to the pipe, and the child reads this string a byte at a time from the pipe and echoes it on standard output.
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#in...
Example 2, child execs command given at the command line, then writes to stdout (of child), which is piped to parent. Parent reads from pipe and writes to stdout (of parent).
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#in...

Exerpt from bash documentation. HISTORY EXPANSION The bash shell supports a history expansion feature that is similar to the history expansion in csh. This feature is enabled by default for interactive shells, and can be disabled using the +H option to the set builtin command. Non-interactive shells do not perform history expansion by default. History expansions introduce words from the history list into the input stream, making it easy to repeat commands, insert the arguments to a previous command into the current input line, or fix errors in previous commands quickly. History expansion is performed immediately after a complete line is read, before the shell breaks it into words. It takes place in two parts. The first is to determine which line from the history...

<?php

grep is a versatile command with many variations (grep, egrep, fgrep, then various implementations). It uses a regula expression (regex) pattern to filter input. But then there are basic and extended flavors of regex - leading to even more confusion. And, beware that there are lots of bad examples of regex in the wild... There are two critical questions to ask when you use grep: which grep implementation are you using? what is the flavor of the regex? Here are some examples for gnu grep v2.7:
# Find all numbers (no decimal point), basic regex... Use the -o flag to show only the matching part instead of the whole matching line: grep -o -E '\b[0-9]{2}\b' The good thing about the gnu grep is that it...

cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. The main purpose and use for cURL is to automate unattended file transfers or sequences of operations.
It's really easy to see HTTP headers with curl:
C:\>curl --head http://www.google.com
HTTP/1.0 ...
or, headers and page together (dump headers to stdout):
$ curl --dump-header - http://www.google.com HTTP/...
Download openssl from openssl.org:
curl http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.6m....
C:\>curl --help
Usage: curl [options...] <url>
