That's a cool feature of the shell. When you run a command like <strong>cmd <<< str</strong>, then <strong>str</strong> is shell-expanded and fed to <strong>cmd</strong> as standard input. For example: <strong>$ bc <<< "7+3" 10 </strong> Thanks for asking! Ah, good question. That’s a cool feature of the shell.

When you run a command like cmd < << str, then str is shell-expanded and fed to cmd as standard input.
