Redirection is not a parameter, meaning that would still not work with this Q tool.

  This is not a simple redirection. cmd <(subcmd) is a bashism that redirects the output of command subcmd to something that looks like a regular file to command cmd. Command cmd receive a path at the place the <(subcmd) syntax is used. Different from cmd < f, which redirects the contents of file f to cmd's input. So, this should work :-)

    Works in other shells, not just bash % cat /proc/self/cmdline <(echo $SHELL) | tr '\0' ' ' cat /proc/self/cmdline /proc/self/fd/11 /bin/zsh

      Yep! Zsh supports a lot of bashisms :-) It won't work in dash though, and you should not use this in a shell that targets POSIX.
