#!/bin/zsh -f
# Read stdin verbatim and as efficiently as possible into $REPLY,
# stopping without any change to $REPLY in the event of any error.
# Benchmarked by Roman Perepelitsa in zsh-users/29472
# Although this function faithfully records the input stream, later
# references to $REPLY with the multibyte option back in effect will
# (re-)interpret the content as multibyte characters. This may not be
# what is desired.
emulate -L zsh -o no_multibyte
### Alternate formulation, faster on bigger files
# # /dev/fd/0 is treated specially by -f so also check /dev/fd
# if [[ -d /dev/fd && -f /dev/fd/0 ]] && zmodload zsh/mapfile
# then
# local +h -Ar mapfile
# typeset -g REPLY="${mapfile[/dev/fd/0]}" && return
# fi
# # else fall through to read from pipe/socket
