Everything about Process substitution

Feature of some Unix shells

In computing, process substitution is a form of inter-process communication that allows the input or output of a command to be made available as a file path. The command is substituted in-line, where a file name would normally occur, by the command shell. This allows programs that normally only accept file paths to directly read from or write to another program. Wikipedia →
