read - read a line from standard input
/usr/bin/read [-r] var...
read name...
set variable= $<
read [-prsu [n]] [name ? prompt] [name]...
read [-Aprs] [-d delim] [-n nsize] [-N nsize] [-t timeout][-u unit] [vname?prompt] [vname... ]
The read utility reads a single line from standard input.
By default, unless the -r option is specified, backslash (\) acts as an escape character. If standard input is a terminal device and the invoking shell is interactive, read prompts for a continuation line when:
The line is split into fields as in the shell. The first field is assigned to the first variable var, the second field to the second variable var, and so forth. If there are fewer var operands specified than there are fields, the leftover fields and their intervening separators is assigned to the last var. If there are fewer fields than vars, the remaining vars is set to empty strings.
The setting of variables specified by the var operands affects the current shell execution environment. If it is called in a sub-shell or separate utility execution environment, such as one of the following:
(read foo) nohup read ... find . -exec read ... \;
it does not affect the shell variables in the caller's environment.
The standard input must be a text file.
One line is read from the standard input and, using the internal field separator, IFS (normally space or tab), to delimit word boundaries, the first word is assigned to the first name, the second word to the second name, and so on, with leftover words assigned to the last name. Lines can be continued using \newline. Characters other than NEWLINE can be quoted by preceding them with a backslash. These backslashes are removed before words are assigned to names, and no interpretation is done on the character that follows the backslash. The return code is 0, unless an end-of-file is encountered.
The notation:
set variable = $<
loads one line of standard input as the value for variable. (See csh(1)).
The shell input mechanism. One line is read and is broken up into fields using the characters in IFS as separators. The escape character, (\), is used to remove any special meaning for the next character and for line continuation. In raw mode, the -r, the , and the \ character are not treated specially. The first field is assigned to the first name, the second field to the second name, and so on, with leftover fields assigned to the last name. The -p option causes the input line to be taken from the input pipe of a process spawned by the shell using |&. If the -s flag is present, the input is saved as a command in the history file. The flag -u can be used to specify a one digit file descriptor unit n to read from. The file descriptor can be opened with the exec special command. The default value of n is 0. If name is omitted, REPLY is used as the default name. The exit status is 0 unless the input file is not open for reading or an end-of-file is encountered. An end-of-file with the -p option causes cleanup for this process so that another can be spawned. If the first argument contains a ?, the remainder of this word is used as a prompt on standard error when the shell is interactive. The exit status is 0 unless an end-of-file is encountered.
read reads a line from standard input and breaks it into fields using the characters in the value of the IFS variable as separators. The escape character, \, is used to remove any special meaning for the next character and for line continuation unless the -r option is specified.
If there are more variables than fields, the remaining variables are set to empty strings. If there are fewer variables than fields, the leftover fields and their intervening separators are assigned to the last variable. If no var is specified, the variable REPLY is used.
When var has the binary attribute and -n or -N is specified, the bytes that are read are stored directly into var.
If you specify ?prompt after the first var, read displays a prompt on standard error when standard input is a terminal or pipe.
The following option is supported by /usr/bin/read and ksh:

Example 1 Using the read Command
The following example for /usr/bin/read prints a file with the first field of each line moved to the end of the line:
example% while read -r xx yy do printf "%s %s\n" "$yy" "$xx" done < input_file
