man read
One line is read from the standard input, and the first word is assigned to the first name, the second word to the second name, and so on, with leftover words and their intervening separators assigned to the last name

NAME
read - Reads a line from standard input
SYNOPSIS
read [-r] var...
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
read: XCU5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
OPTIONS
Do not treat a backslash character in any special way. Consider each backslash to be part of the input line.
Note
The -r option is included to enable read to subsume the purpose of the obsolete line utility.
OPERANDS
The name of an existing or non-existing shell variable.
DESCRIPTION
The read utility reads a single line from standard input.
By default, unless the -r option is specified, backslash () acts as an escape character. If standard input is a terminal device and the
invoking shell is interactive, read prompts for a continuation line in the following cases: The shell reads an input line ending with a
backslash, unless the -r option is specified. A here-document is not terminated after a newline character is entered.
The line is split into fields as in the shell (see the sh(1) reference page); the first field is assigned to the first variable var, the
second field to the second variable var, and so forth. If there are fewer var parameters specified than there are fields, the leftover
fields and their intervening separators are assigned to the last var. If there are fewer fields than vars, the remaining vars are set to
empty strings.
The setting of variables specified by the var parameters affects the current shell execution environment. If read is called in a subshell
or separate utility execution environment, such as one of the following, it does not affect the shell variables in the caller's environ-
ment:
(read foo) nohup read ... find . -exec read ... ;
NOTES
The -r option is included to enable read to subsume the purpose of the obsolete line utility.
RESTRICTIONS
The results are undefined if an end-of-file is detected following a backslash at the end of a line when -r is not specified.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Successful completion. End-of-file was detected or an error occurred.
EXAMPLES
The following command prints a file with the first field of each line moved to the end of the line:
while read -r xx yy do
printf "%s %s
" "$yy" "$xx" done < input_file
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of read: Determines the internal field separators used to delimit fields. Pro-
vides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
from the default locale is used. If any of the internationalization variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none
of the variables had been defined. If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the other internationalization vari-
ables. Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed
to multibyte characters in arguments). Determines the locale used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to
standard error. Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES. Provides the prompt string that an
interactive shell will write to standard error when a line ending with a backslash is read and the -r option was not specified, or if a
here-document is not terminated after a newline character is entered.
