.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B sponge
|
||
|
|
reads stdin completely, then writes the saved contents to
|
||
|
|
.IR file .
|
||
|
|
This makes it possible to easily create pipes which read from and write to
|
||
|
|
the same file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the given file is a symbolic link, it writes to the links's destination
|
||
|
|
instead.
