> The thing that creates the background job IS a foreground pipeline. It's a foreground pipeline that creates a background > job, if that makes sense. Sure. That's the mechanism to implement the background job. The problem is that the user that reads the manual is dealing with the "background" and "foreground" abstractions; for him, the most recently foreground command in my example is false. > I recommend to store the value of $? in a variable if you plan on using it afterwards, since it's extremely easy to end > up overriding its value. Thanks, but I am not trying to implement anything. I am trying to fix the man page :) > You're right, but it might be less confusing if I removed the "foreground" > from the description.
