## In POSIX sh, named file descriptors is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
(or "In dash, ... is not supported." when using `dash`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
exec {n}> "$output"
|
||||
echo "Your fd is $n"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
There is no simple, mechanical alternative for POSIX sh, but you can either switch to a shell that does support this (like `bash`), or hard code (or `eval`) a specific file descriptor.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax for opening an arbitrary file descriptor and assigning it to a variable for later use is a `bash` and `ksh` extension. It does not work on POSIX sh or `dash`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
None
