bash 网络接口
我很早以前就见过 /dev/tcp/<host>/<port> 这个接口，但一直以为是某个 BSD 内核实现了一个特殊的文件系统，因为 Linux 上面很明显没有 /dev/tcp 这个目录。直到今天我才发现，这个目录其实是 bash 自己实现的。这么以来就可以不借助wget，nc 来实现网络连接了，设计这么一个接口是要逆天了吗？
使用这个接口很简单，如下所示：

bash-4.2$ exec 3<>/dev/tcp/www.w3.org/80

bash-4.2$ cat <&3

在 bash 的源代码树 redir.c 文件中，我们不难发现下面的代码：
[c]
/ A list of pattern/value pairs for filenames that the redirection
code handles specially. /
static STRING_INT_ALIST _redir_special_filenames[] = {
if !defined (HAVE_DEV_FD)
{ “/dev/fd/[0-9]*”, RF_DEVFD },
endif
if !defined (HAVE_DEV_STDIN)
{ “/dev/stderr”, RF_DEVSTDERR },
{ “/dev/stdin”, RF_DEVSTDIN },
{ “/dev/stdout”, RF_DEVSTDOUT },
endif
if defined (NETWORK_REDIRECTIONS)
{ “/dev/tcp//“, RF_DEVTCP },
{ “/dev/udp//“, RF_DEVUDP },
endif
{ (char *)NULL, -1 }
};
…
static int
redir_open (filename, flags, mode, ri)
char *filename;
int flags, mode;
enum r_instruction ri;
{
int fd, r;
r = find_string_in_alist (filename, _redir_special_filenames, 1);
if (r >= 0)
return (redir_special_open (r, filename, flags, mode, ri));
/ If we are in noclobber mode, you are not allowed to overwrite
existing files. Check before opening. /
if (noclobber && CLOBBERING_REDIRECT (ri))
{
fd = noclobber_open (filename, flags, mode, ri);
if (fd == NOCLOBBER_REDIRECT)
return (NOCLOBBER_REDIRECT);
}
else
{
fd = open (filename, flags, mode);
if defined (AFS)
if ((fd < 0) && (errno == EACCES))
{ fd = open (filename, flags & ~O_CREAT, mode); errno = EACCES; /* restore errno */
}endif / AFS /
}return fd;
}
[/c]
可见，当 bash 发现重定向时它会先查看重定向的文件是不是特殊文件，如果是截获它，自行解释之，否则就打开这个文件。当然了，真正解释 /dev/tcp/HOST/PORT 的代码是在 lib/sh/netopen.c 中。
bash 的手册中也提到了这些特殊接口：
/dev/fd/fd
If fd is a valid integer, file descriptor fd is duplicated.
/dev/stdin
File descriptor 0 is duplicated.
/dev/stdout
File descriptor 1 is duplicated.
/dev/stderr
File descriptor 2 is duplicated.
/dev/tcp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a TCP connection to the corresponding socket.
/dev/udp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts
to open a UDP connection to the corresponding socket.
