Why does $IFS contain '$' only
by dmiraj from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T6KP)
Hello all,
When issuing the following command Code:cat -A <(echo $IFS). The output is $ . But this is not what $IFS is supposed to be,as indicated in the man page: Code:<space><tab><newline>.
So why is it equal to $, but word splitting happens just fine.
I am using Ubuntu.
Thank you.
