01:24:07 <wuehlmaus> is it now possible to pipe to e.g. less?
01:24:26 <wuehlmaus> that would be a cool thing i bet
08:58:54 <wuehlmaus> am i right that pipe functionality is not there yet?
08:59:53 <wuehlmaus> i looked for popen and it isn't in the c code so i think it is not implemented yet
09:50:17 <crc> correct, no pipe support yet

13:55:48 <crc> `unix:popen` and `unix:pclose` are added; read/writes can be done using the `file:` words; modes supported are `file:R` and `file:W`; `file:R+` should work if your OS supports bidirectional pipes (FreeBSD; macOS; not sure of others on this)
14:02:59 <mpts> crc: the commit is not public yet, right?
14:03:38 <crc> it's in the fossil repo (I haven't copied the changes to the git repo yet)
14:07:32 <crc> I'll have this synced to the git shortly
14:07:47 <crc> (fossil repo is running at http://forthworks.com:8000 )
14:15:08 <crc> the rre changes to add the unix: namespace words are now in the git repository as well

22:56:18 <wuehlmaus> great, thanks a lot!

23:45:23 <wuehlmaus> can someone provide an example on how to use popen?
23:45:45 <wuehlmaus> i am a slow learner
