'stdin/stdout' work cross-OS. Moreover, they work in services since 2.5.2 (stream is delivered from/to fbsvcmgr). Certainly /dev/std* can't replace existing approach in all aspects. On the other hand /dev/std* is standard de-facto for unix now, moreover with file redirection gbak works fine using them - only pipe is a problem. I think we may easily fix it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
