Re: mapfile associative array shim Was: Re: [feature request] add associative array support to mapfile

[Léa Gris]

Shorty shim:

! { mapfile -A _</dev/null;} 2>/dev/null&&{ mapfile(){ local k v 
d=$'\n';local -n A=${*: -1:1};[ ${*: -2:1} = -A ]&&{ [ ${*:1:1} = -d 
]&&d=${*:2:1};while read -rd "$d" k v||[[ -n $k && -n $v ]];do 
A[$k]=$v;done;:;}||command mapfile "$@";};}
