What happened when you tried it?
It doesn't store anything. The
NR==1 section of the code replaces the header for the specified fields on the 1st input line it reads. Then, the condition
1 with the default action (
{print}) prints the updated header line and all following unmodified lines to standard output.

make install
HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

shtool(1), sed(1).
