# Create A File Descriptor with Process Substitution
|
||||
|
||||
Process substitution can be used to create a file descriptor from the
|
||||
evaluation of a shell command. The syntax for process substitution is
|
||||
`<(LIST)` where `LIST` is one or more bash commands.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cat <(echo 'hello, world')
|
||||
hello, world
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is particularly useful for commands that expect files, such as diff:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ diff <(echo 'hello, world') <(echo 'hello, mars')
|
||||
1c1
|
||||
< hello, world
|
||||
---
|
||||
> hello, mars
|
||||
```
