Eshell is @emph{not} a replacement for system shells such as
@command{bash} or @command{zsh}. Use Eshell when you want to move
text between Emacs and external processes; if you only want to pipe
-output from one external process to another, to another, use a system
-shell, because Emacs's IO system is buffer oriented, not stream
-oriented, and is very inefficient at such tasks. If you want to write
-shell scripts in Eshell, don't; either write an elisp library or use a
-system shell.
