\subsection source-description Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluates the commands of the specified file in the current
|
|
|
|
|
shell. This is different from starting a new process to perform the
|
|
|
|
|
commands (i.e. <tt>fish < FILENAME</tt>) since the commands will be
|
|
|
|
|
evaluated by the current shell, which means that changes in
|
2007-04-23 05:19:47 +08:00
|
|
|
environment variables, etc., will remain. If additional arguments are
|
|
|
|
|
specified after the file name, they will be inserted into the $argv
|
|
|
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no file is specified, or if the file name '-' is used, stdin will
|
|
|
|
|
be read.

The return status of . is the return status of the last job to
|
|
|
|
|
execute. If something goes wrong while opening or reading the file,
|
|
|
|
|
. exits with a non-zero status.
