In rare cases you actually want word splitting, such as in
|

|

# shellcheck disable=SC2046
|

gcc $(pkg-config --libs openssl) client.c
|

This is because `pkg-config` outputs `-lssl -lcrypto`, which you want to break up by spaces into `-lssl` and `-lcrypto`. An alternative is to put the variables to an array and expand it:

This is because `pkg-config` outputs `-lssl -lcrypto`, which you want to break up by spaces into `-lssl` and `-lcrypto`.

# For bash

mapfile -t args < <(pkg-config --libs openssl)

# For ksh
|

pkg-config --libs openssl | while IFS="" read -r line; do array+=("$line"); done
|
||||
A bash alternative in these cases is to use `read -a` for words or `mapfile` for lines. ksh can also use `read -a`, or a `while read` loop for lines. In this case, since `pkg-config` outputs words, you could use:
|
||||
|
||||
# Read words into an array in bash and ksh
|
||||
read -ra args < <(pkg-config --libs openssl)
|
||||
|
||||
# expand args
|
||||
gcc "${args[@]}" client.c
|
||||
|
||||
The power of using an array becomes evident when you want to combine, for example, the command result with user-provided arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
compile () {
|
||||
args=( "$(pkg-config --libs openssl)" "${@}" )
|
||||
gcc "${args[@]}" client.c
|
||||
}
|
||||
compile -DDEBUG
|
||||
+ gcc -lssl -lcrypto -DDEBUG client.c
|
||||
gcc "${args[@]}" client.c
