[ msglist ] [ command ] |
|
| ||
|
| Pipe messages in msglist through the speci®ed command. Each message is treated as | ||
|
| if it were read. If msglist is not speci®ed, the current message is used. If command is | ||
|
| not speci®ed, the command speci®ed by the current value of the cmd variable is used. | ||
|
| If msglist is speci®ed, command must also be speci®ed. If the page variable is set, a | ||
|
| form feed character is inserted after each message (see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES). | ||
