The forbacktickx program

forbacktickx runs a program and uses its output as loop elements to run another program.

Interface

In an execlineb script:

     forbacktickx [ -E | -e ] [ -p | -P maxpar | -o okcodes | -x breakcodes ] [ -N | -n ] [ -C | -c ] [ -0 | -d delim ] variable { gen... } loop...

Options

Other options are similar (in name and functionality) to the switches passed to control a substitution mechanism, on purpose; however, forbacktickx does not call the substitution mechanism and has its own semantics for those options.
