The "beef" is that the pipeline stream consists of "objects" that you can "query" instead of just static text. This is an idea with an enormous potential, and a very clever way to distill the Unix pipeline concept. The precise syntax is obviously just a superficial artefact. But it would be good to see more examples, especially ones which are challenging to do on Unix.

The fact that you cannot guess option names is not particularly anything that is specific to Unix; I would predict that the same phenomenon will happen to PowerShell if it becomes popular. But certainly it needs to be said that the more you have to keep in your head or look up as you need it, the higher the threshold and the steeper the learning curve. I would regard it as rather elitist to assert that this is not a problem.

mbk_work_lib

MBK_WORK_LIB(1) 					     MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES						   MBK_WORK_LIB(1)

NAME

       MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory

SYNOPSYS

       c-shell running
       setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

DESCRIPTION

       MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from	an
       mbk point of view, read and write.
       Also,  when  a  file  is  searched  for	reading,  the  first  directory  to  be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in
       MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
       The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine.

ERRORS

       "mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'"
	      This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading,  or  when	you  don't
	      have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it.

EXAMPLE

	    setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom

SEE ALSO

       mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1).

BUG REPORT

       This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory.
       We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools.
