issue I just found split function cannot work with set -e. When I open this flag, split will fail at here string part. And I can't figure out why that is not work. Can anybody explain it? Very Thanks!

$ read -d '' <<< 'Hello World'
$ echo $?
1

read returns 1 when everything is read, which is convenient when used in a while loop

$ read -d '' <<< 'Hello World' || true
$ echo $?
0

fortunately, you can simply hide the error from set -e using e.g. || true :-D
