No, '-' is stdin, and it might be a pipe, but it might be a flat file or whatever! My pointis that with light testing, the pipe incompatabilities of '-' may have been discovered, but not generalized to handle named pipes as I described and as exhaustive testing would have discovered, and now the user discovers it. If '-' works when stdin is a pipe, then named pipes would also work, if they were properly detected and accommodated like '-'.

It looks like it is perl, so go look if you are loath to run strace. http://www-huber.embl.de/users/ander...c/contrib.html

XHPInputISO7sub(3X)													       XHPInputISO7sub(3X)

NAME
XHPInputISO7sub - map keysyms into ISO 7-bit substitution characters. SYNOPSIS
int XHPInputISO7sub(display, keysym, modifiers, buffer_return, bytes_buffer, status_in_out) Display *display; KeySym *keysym; unsigned int modifiers; char *buffer_return; int bytes_buffer; XComposeStatus *status_in_out; DESCRIPTION
display Specifies the connection to the X server. keysym Specifies the keysym that is to be converted into an ISO 7-bit substitution character. modifiers Specifies the modifiers to be applied to the keysym. buffer_return Returns the translated characters. bytes_buffer Specifies the length of the buffer. No more than bytes_buffer of translation are returned. status_in_out Specifies the XComposeStatus structure. XHPInputISO7sub will convert keysym into a ISO 7-bit substitution character, if appropriate. This routine will also process the control modifier. The return value is the length of the string returned in buffer_return. This routine is intended to be used in conjunction with XHPConvertLookup. status_in_out is used to hold the information necessary to perform 7-bit substitution input. This structure must contain null values before this routine is first invoked, and must remain unchanged between uses. XHPConvertLookup and XHPInputISO7sub are provided for backwards compatibility only; these routines will be discontinued in a future release of HP-UX. The operating system provides no direct support for processing ISO 7-bit substitution characters. Users of ISO 7-bit substitution character set should migrate their data to a supported 8-bit encoding, such as ISO 8859.1. Additionally, users desiring the same capabilities as those provided by these routines should use XOpenIM, XCreateIC, and XmbLookupString. ORIGIN
