• read stdin into new tempfile on top of stack CMD | tp

• read stdin into new tempfile on top of stack and contents to stdout CMD | tp -v

• contents of tempfile on top of stack to stdout tp | CMD

• read stdin into tempfile at index 1 CMD | tp -i 1

• read stdin into tempfile at index 1 and write to stdout CMD | tp -i 1 -v

• output tempfile at index 1 to stdout tp -o 1 | CMD

• read from FILE and create tempfile on top of stack with contents of file. tp FILE | CMD

• read from FILE and create tempfile on top of stack with contents of file. write contents of FILE to CMD. tp -v FILE | CMD

• write contents of FILE to tempfile 1 tp -i 1 FILE | CMD

• write contents of FILE to tempfile 1 then to stdout tp -vi 1 FILE | CMD

• read from stdin to tempfile 1 then write to stdout CMD | tp -vi 1 | CMD

• choose input tempfile and write to tempfile at index 2 and stdout CMD | tp -vi 2

• choose output tempfile and write to stdout tp -o 1 | CMD

• list all tempfiles on the stack to stdout tp -l

• list all tempfiles with contents on the stack to stdout tp -L

• remove all tempfiles tp -c

• remove tempfile at INDEX tp -r INDEX

• insert tempfile at INDEX CMD | tp -a INDEX

• insert FILE at INDEX tp -a INDEX FILE

• remove tempfile at top of stack tp -p

• add tempfile at bottom of stack CMD | tp -u

• add tempfile at bottom of stack CMD | tp -a 1

• remove tempfile at bottom of stack tp -s

Notes

Temporary files are numbered with ascending order. The highest numbered tempfile is the top of the stack and tempfile 1 is at the bottom of the stack.

Negative indices are allowed at any INDEX argument position. Indices go from 1 .. stack size and -1 .. -stack size. INDEX of 0 is always invalid.

tp and temprs binaries are installed.
