Subject: eshell command substitution?
Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2023 10:39:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87msu1x70a.fsf@jeffclough.net> (raw)
Good Morning!
Does eshell have command substitution? If so, can someone point me to
its syntax. My search-fu is failing me.
My usual use case...
$ g++ base.cpp -o base `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`
Backticks don't work, nor does $(...) unsurprisingly.
I've gotta be missing something glaringly obvious here, but I can't find
an answer.
Jeff
