[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-754) shell:cat hyphen ("-") option not
activating STDIN.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13285707#comment-13285707 ]
Christian Schneider commented on KARAF-754:
-------------------------------------------
I added an option "-" which can be used to express the stdin. The problem is though when I cat from stdin and end the input with Ctrl-D then
the karaf shell will also exit. Any idea?

> According to the help for shell:cat, the - is supposed to activate cat for STDIN (just as the Linux cat command does). However, the hyphen is being used as an argument parsing flag and hence isn't working:
> karaf@root> cat --help
> DESCRIPTION
> shell:cat
> Displays the content of a file or URL.
> SYNTAX
> shell:cat [options] paths or urls
> ARGUMENTS
> paths or urls
> A list of file paths or urls to display separated by whitespaces
> (use - for STDIN)
> OPTIONS
> --help Display this help message
> -n The number the output lines, starting at 1.
> karaf@root> shell:cat -
> Error executing command shell:cat undefined option -
> It may be sufficient to remove the STDIN option from the cat command, I'm not sure how useful STDIN is within an OSGi command-line prompt anyway.
