Yeah... my view is that if you want (generally) "one liner" for a more complex task or expression, but it in a file and save it; and execute the script.

Of course, to each his own, and I'm not saying others should not be creative; I'm only saying that my experience is that I have so much code to manage, some from 10 years ago, and "elegant" or "fancy" one liners are hard to understand years after writing them, at least for me.

Anyway, I'm always going back and looking a legacy HTML and PHP and other admin scripts for this site and all the backup sites, etc. I try to keep is very clean, easy to understand, because with a site like this; you could be out have wine with friends and need to come back to the desk to fix a problem!

But I still use the unix pipeline for command line tasks, but nothing fancy or that I would keep for sysadmin.

Anyway, maybe I misunderstood the post or the intention here... which is possible since I have been coding like crazy lately!!

LOL

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  RoarAudio  VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic IO functions such as read and write independing on the
       underlaying IO. For Example can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open both objects behave the  same,
       libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip case.
