## `read` without a variable is undefined.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
while read -r;
|
||||||
|
do
|
||||||
|
echo "line: ${REPLY}"
|
||||||
|
done < foolist
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add a variable to read and use it later on:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
while read -r foo;
|
||||||
|
do
|
||||||
|
echo "line: ${foo}"
|
||||||
|
done < foolist
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This behavior is not allowed [in POSIX](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/read.html).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None. This warning is not emitted in `ksh` or `bash` where read can be used without an argument.
