Dunno how I missed that, I think I was too focused on finding something less general. I think I might start writing a FAQ for these things. -- Written with Emacs (mu4e) on NixOS.

Re: execline, s6-portable-utils: print a file to stdout
I haven’t found a way to print a file to stdout with either execline nor s6-portable-utils. The `s6-cat` utility only echoes stuff that is already coming from stdin, and unlike the shell, execline doesn’t have `<`. https://skarnet.org/software/execline/redirfd.html "redirfd -r 0 $file s6-cat" will print $file to stdout. -- Laurent
execline, s6-portable-utils: print a file to stdout
Sorry for my spam of mails, I want to separate my questions by topic so they will be searchable. I haven’t found a way to print a file to stdout with either execline nor s6-portable-utils. The `s6-cat` utility only echoes stuff that is already coming from stdin, and unlike the shell, execline doesn’t have `<`. Maybe some kind of output utility might be nice?
