# coproc
> Bash builtin for creating interactive asynchronous subshells.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Coprocesses>.
- Run a subshell asynchronously:
`coproc { {{command1; command2; ...}}; }`
- Create a coprocess with a specific name:
`coproc {{name}} { {{command1; command2; ...}}; }`
- Write to a specific coprocess `stdin`:
`echo "{{input}}" >&"${{{name[1]}}}"`
- Read from a specific coprocess `stdout`:
`read {{variable}} <&"${{{name[0]}}}"`
- Create a coprocess which repeatedly reads `stdin` and runs some commands on the input:
`coproc {{name}} { while read {{line}}; do {{command1; command2; ...}}; done }`
- Create a coprocess which repeatedly reads `stdin`, runs a pipeline on the input, and writes the output to `stdout`:
`coproc {{name}} { while read {{line}}; do {{echo "$line"}} | {{command1 | command2 | ...}} | cat /dev/fd/0; done }`
- Create and use a coprocess running `bc`:
`coproc BC { bc --mathlib; }; echo "1/3" >&"${BC[1]}"; read output <&"${BC[0]}"; echo "$output"`
