mispipe

pipe two commands, returning the exit status of the first

    			mispipe
    			"command1"
    			"command2"

## DESCRIPTION

`mispipe` pipes two commands together like the shell does, but unlike piping in the shell, which returns the exit status of the last command; when using mispipe, the exit status of the first command is returned.

Note that some shells, notably `bash`, do offer a pipefail option, however, that option does not behave the same since it makes a failure of any command in the pipeline be returned, not just the exit status of the first.

## EXIT STATUS

The exit status of the first command. If the process terminated abnormally (due to a signal), 128 will be added to its exit status.
