Diff and diff3 support reading from /deve/fdXX ... unfortunalety I don't know a graphic differenza (meld, kdiff3, ...) supporting this kind of input. It's a shame, 'cause I frequently want to diff the output of two program (or the same program with different inputs)

In zsh, you can use =() instead of <() to slurp all the data into a temporary file first to deal with this issue. Perhaps bash has this also.

Bash does not have `=()`, but with a few extra commands you could write to temporary files using `mktmp`. Or use zsh. :)
