e parse at the first encounted `execline`
is a lie, since blocks have to be handled correctly:

foreground {
execline echo foo

foreground " execlineb" " -l" " echo" " foo" "" echo bar

If I think about it, maybe there doesn’t ha

When I have a glob like:
elglob -0 fs somedir/*
if { test -n $fs }
ln -t otherdir $fs
the test will fail if there’s more than one file in `somedir`.
Is there a way to put a split variable into one variable again?
It feels kind of clumsy to use elglob, especially because of
the default verbatim i

That brings me to another question: is there a collection of
more execline utilities somewhere? I suspect the standard
GNU coreutils are
I have the following logic:
If file in variable f is a symlink, resolve it
and use the result as link target.
Otherwise, use the result as link target directly.
So I’d like to have an ifthenelse and return the
same envvar from both branches. But this is the
best I can do:
ifte {
backtick res {
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 does

Why is the main binary named `execlineb` and not `execline`?
What does the `b`-suffix stand for?

I have a good technical solution for you:

Probably a dumb question, but is there a reason there is no
`cp` and no `mv` in `s6-portable-utils`?
What’s the recommended way of copying and moving files?

In the first case, “do not use >this< option” is less ambiguous.
(This is out of my own ignorance and probably clear to somebody
that is more into the subject matter)

I had quite big problems getting an intuition for fdmove, and the way
aranea phrased it (by effect) makes a lot of sense to me.
