--- Comment #2 from michael <[email protected]> ---
After examining this I have determined it is not technically feasible for
kdiff3 to support this. Bugs such as this
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-15261 are the reason. Duplicating code in
the form of direct c/c++ style I/O operations is not a practical solution.
KDiff3's primary function of comparing normal files is not compromised by lack
of pipe/redirect support. Interestingly trying this syntax with real files does
results in kdiff3 completely ignoring the redirect. This is why explicit
parameters are used. The specific example used here and similar attempts to
directly pipe command output will now generate the intended error instead of
sending a bogus file name to KIO/Qt.
