bash: Use mapfile to create an array.

[hoodedvul]

Take into account the main readme for this section. README first.

This is same as the shell builtin readarray, The readarray name has a better association with arrays, making it more readable in shell scripts.

The array is called MAPFILE by default. This reads in the netstat command output as an array.

$ mapfile -t < <(netstat)

You can then process the output using the array. This takes each line and checks to see if it starts with unix

$ for line in "${MAPFILE[@]}"; do if echo "$line" | grep -qi '^unix';then   echo $line; fi; done
