What do you have on your eyes? :)

# Process Substitution
# 
# Process substitution is supported on systems that support
# named  pipes  (FIFOs) or the /dev/fd method of naming open
# files.  It takes the form of <(list) or >(list).  The pro-
# cess  list  is run with its input or output connected to a
# FIFO or some file in /dev/fd.  The name of  this  file is
# passed as an argument to the current command as the result of
# the expansion.  If the >(list) form is used, writing to the
# file will provide input for list.  If the <(list) form is
# used, the file passed as an argument should be read to obtain
# the output of list.
# 
# When available, process substitution is performed simulta-
# neously with parameter  and  variable  expansion, command
# substitution, and arithmetic expansion.
