Hi Linus,
pipeline is implemented with piped-process, which is implemented with scm_start_child, which does not use the shell. In your pipeline you can use a shell explicitly if you wanted to. I do not think I should follow the asterisk convention in procedure naming for pipeline. What do you think? Rutger Linus Björnstam writes: > I have a question about the interface.
