PIPE_BUF is for feeding web pages through rot13; PIPE_SHELL and READ_SHELL are two ways of getting the output of "df" that are distinguishable only by their status-lines. And meanwhile EXEC_SHELL backgrounds w3m and shows you the "df" output in your terminal. Or indeed lets you run w3m from inside your w3m session. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
