# 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` and perform an action on every line:
`while read line; do echo "$line"; done`
