how to set parameters when pipe bash script to bash
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
How to execute bash script with parameters:
./foo.sh a b c
When it's compressed (e.g. using xz).
xzcat foo.sh | bash <<how_to_supply_here_parameters?>>
Specific usecase:
I produced very big rmlint.sh file and store it compressed:
time rmlint -o sh:stdout -c sh:hardlink|tee >( xz > rmlint.sh.xz )
Therefore I would normally execute
./rmlint.sh -d -x -p
However, file is too big to be uncompressed. Therefore I would love to do same by pipe-ing it to bash:
xzcat rmlint.sh.xz | bash ...
bash shell-script pipe

How big is this script, is it a world record? Did you use functions, or paste/copy code all over the place?

You should use the -s option and -- to separate arguments you want to pass:
echo 'echo "$@"' | sh -s 3 4 5
echo 'printf "%s" "$0"; printf " %s" "$@"; echo' |
sh -s -- -d -x -p --foo=bar
sh -d -x -p --foo=bar
This should work with any POSIX shell, not just bash. From susv4:
-s
Read commands from the standard input.
If there are no operands and the
-coption is not specified, the-s
option shall be assumed.

You use the--end of options marker, as usual. See the 2nd example.
