Or maybe a subshell... Neither parenthesis nor brackets are required. Only a command (simple or a pipe) or a syntax construction that can return exit status is.

bibledit-rdwrt
BIBLEDIT-RDWRT(1) General Commands Manual BIBLEDIT-RDWRT(1)
NAME
bibledit-rdwrt - Read or writes data to or from a Bibledit-Gtk Bible or project
DESCRIPTION
Bibledit-rdwrt can read from or write to Bible data.
Syntax: bibledit-rdwrt -r|-w project book chapter|0 fileName
Breaking the syntax down we have:
First parameter: -r|-w This can be either -r or -w which determines whether the remaining arguments are going to do a "read" operation from
the specified Bibledit-Gtk Bible / project, or do a "write" operation to that Bible / project.
Second parameter: project This gives the name of the Bibledit-Gtk Bible / project. All we have to do is ensure that the project name we
want to access is a valid/existing one.
Third parameter: book This is simply the 3-letter book code for the Bible book that is being read/written to. I.e., MAT for Matthew, GEN
for Genesis, etc.
Fourth parameter: chapter|0 This can be either a chapter number or 0 (zero) for reading/writing either an individual chapter or read-
ing/writing a whole book (when the parameter is 0).
Fifth parameter: fileName This is a temporary file name that we assign for our use with bibledit-rdwrt. For a read (-r) operation this
fileName argument is the name of the file that will be created by bibledit-rdwrt containing a copy of the whole book (corresponding to the
3-letter code), or that contains the individual chapter contents (of a designated chapter) of an existing Bibledit-Gtk book file in the
Bible / project. It should be prefixed with a path us. Since bibledit-rdwrt is a console operation, after AdaptIt calls it using ::wxExe-
cute, it would need to read the resulting temporary file to grab the contents for its use. For a write (-w) operation this fileName argu-
ment is the name of the temporary file that bibledit-rdwrt reads to get the text which it then writes to the appropriate Bible / project
file. The temporary file can contain the text of a whole book, or just the text of a single chapter for the book specified by the book
3-letter code and the chapter (number) argument.
bibledit-rdwrt may exit with 0 on success, or -1 on failure, as it sees fit. It may write to stdout or stderr, as it sees fit.
