Are you talking about NetBSD's /bin/sh or what a POSIX shell is required to do?
I also don't understand wat you mean by "back in SUS days".
So, are you saying that a POSIX-compliant shell's read command is required
to read (and split into the arg vars) a trailing "incomplete line"?
If yes, if I substitute the usual
while read foo bar baz; do
...
done
with
while read foo bar baz || [ -n "$foo" ]; do
...
done
would that correctly deal with "incomplete lines" for a POSIX compliant shell?
