DESCRIPTION

       reads  a single line from standard input.  The line is split into fields as when processed by the shell (refer to shells in the first field
       is assigned to the first variable var, the second field to the second variable var, and so forth.  If there are more fields than there  are
       specified  var  operands,  the remaining fields and their intervening separators are assigned to the last var.  If there are more vars than
       fields, the remaining vars are set to empty strings.

       The setting of variables specified by the var operands affect the current shell execution environment.

       Standard input to can be redirected from a text file.

       Since affects the current shell execution environment, it is usually provided as a normal shell special (built-in) command.  Thus, if it is
       called  in  a  subshell	or  separate utility execution environment similar to the following, it does not affect the shell variables in the
       caller's environment:

   Options

	      var    The name of an existing or nonexisting shell variable.
