Thank you for the support

Well, the source is here:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...pio/mkbootfs.c

I "quickly" followed the source and I see no terminal check code
Also, the portion of code I noted where it writes:
Code:
fwrite(data, datasize, 1, stdout);

This is compatible with the cmd command syntax:
Code:
mkbootfs /path/to/root > /path/to/ramdisk-recovery.cpio

That is output redirected to a file with >

Now, I tried all redirection possibilities from this manual:
Advanced Bash Shell Scripting Guide - I/O Redirection
but none will work when this binary is run from a shell script instead of cmd line Smilie

As I said, I fixed my script using cpio instead, but just out of curiosity wanted to learn more about this issue

NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base); $u2 = $u1->abs; DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the libwww-perl library. The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface: o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface. o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase". o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs. o URI::URL::strict(1) o $url->print_on method o $url->crack method o $url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || "/") o $url->netloc: same as $uri->authority o $url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings. o $url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters) o $url->params and $url->eparams methods o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase. o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase. o $url->frag: same as $uri->fragment o $url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords o $url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file. o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto URI o $url->groupart method for news URI o $url->article: same as $uri->message SEE ALSO
