mispipe - Man Page

• Pipe two commands and return the exit status of the first command: mispipe command1 command2

tldr.sh

mispipe ["command1"] ["command2"]

mispipe pipes two commands together like the shell does, but unlike piping in the shell, which returns the exit status of the last command; when using mispipe, the exit status of the first command is returned​.

Note that some shells, notably bash, do offer a pipefail option, however, that option does not behave the same since it makes a failure of any command in the pipeline be returned, not just the exit status of the first​.

The exit status of the first command​. If the process terminated abnormally (due to a signal), 128 will be added to its exit status​.
