You can't do that. You'll have to
- read $parm < someredirection
- assign to an associative array X[$parm]=...
- eval $parm=... (which brings with it all sorts of escaping needs etc.)

eval "echo $str"
i get

running the eval statement above would produce (2 Replies)

putctl(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers putctl(9F)
NAME
putctl - send a control message to a queue
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
int putctl(queue_t *q, int type);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
q Queue to which the message is to be sent.
type Message type (must be control, not data type).
DESCRIPTION
putctl() tests the type argument to make sure a data type has not been specified, and then attempts to allocate a message block. putctl()
fails if type is M_DATA, M_PROTO, or M_PCPROTO, or if a message block cannot be allocated. If successful, putctl() calls the put(9E)
routine of the queue pointed to by q with the newly allocated and initialized messages.
RETURN VALUES
On success, 1 is returned. If type is a data type, or if a message block cannot be allocated, 0 is returned.
CONTEXT
putctl() can be called from user or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using putctl()
The send_ctl() routine is used to pass control messages downstream. M_BREAK messages are handled with putctl() (line 11). putctl1(9F)
(line 16) is used for M_DELAY messages, so that parm can be used to specify the length of the delay. In either case, if a message block
cannot be allocated a variable recording the number of allocation failures
is incremented (lines 12, 17). If an invalid message type is detected, cmn_err(9F) panics the system (line 21).
1 void
2 send_ctl(wrq, type, parm)
3 queue_t *wrq;
4 uchar_t type;
5 uchar_t parm;
6 {
7 extern int num_alloc_fail;
8
9 switch (type) {
10 case M_BREAK:
11 if (!putctl(wrq->q_next, M_BREAK))
12 num_alloc_fail++;
13 break;
14
15 case M_DELAY:
16 if (!putctl1(wrq->q_next, M_DELAY, parm))
17 num_alloc_fail++;
18 break;
19
20 default:
21 cmn_err(CE_PANIC, "send_ctl: bad message type passed");
22 break;
23 }
24 }
