The \f3\-v\fP option assigns the output directly to a variable instead of
writing it to standard output. This is faster than capturing the output using a
command substitution and avoids the latter's stripping of final linefeed
characters (\fB\\n\fR). The \f2vname\fP argument should be a valid variable
name, optionally with one or more array subscripts in square brackets.
Note that square brackets should be quoted to avoid pathname expansion.
