# read
> Shell builtin for retrieving data from `stdin`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/read.1p>.
- Store data that you type from the keyboard:
`read {{variable}}`
- Do not let backslash (\) act as an escape character:
`read -r {{variable}}`
- Read `stdin` or file and perform an action on every line:
`while read line; do {{echo|ls|rm|...}} "$line"; done < {{/dev/stdin|path/to/file|...}}`
