8.13.1 Template Objects

Template objects following methods:

reset(): Restore a pipeline template to its initial state.

clone(): Return a new, equivalent, pipeline template.

debug(flag): If flag is true, turn debugging on. Otherwise, turn debugging off. When debugging is on, commands to be executed are printed, and the shell is given set -x command to be more verbose.

append(cmd, kind)

Append a new action at the end. The cmd variable must be a valid bourne shell command. The kind variable consists of two letters.

The first letter can be either of '-' (which means the command reads its standard input), 'f' (which means the commands reads a given file on the command line) or '.' (which means the commands reads no input, and hence must be first.)

Similarly, the second letter can be either of '-' (which means the command writes to standard output), 'f' (which means the command writes a file on the command line) or '.' (which means the command does not write anything, and hence must be last.)

prepend(cmd, kind): Add a new action at the beginning. See append() for explanations of the arguments.

open(file, mode): Return a file-like object, open to file, but read from or written to by the pipeline. Note that only one of 'r', 'w' may be given.

copy(infile, outfile): Copy infile to outfile through the pipe.
