\section emit emit - Emit a generic event

\subsection block-synopsis Synopsis
 <tt>emit EVENT_NAME [ARGUMENTS...]</tt>

\subsection emit-description Description

The emit builtin fires a generic fish event. Such events can be caught by special functions called event handlers. The arguments are passed to the event handlers as function arguments. 

\subsection emit-example Example

The following code first defines an event handler for the generic
event named 'test_event', and then emits an event of that type.

<pre>function event_test --on-event test_event
    echo event test: $argv
end

emit test_event something
</pre>
Add a 'generic' type of event that can be emited from any piece of code or by the user. Use this event layer to perform interactive configuration startup at the correct time. darcs-hash:20070819164230-75c98-f91b8a73de7bbbb500d80770ddf4d2d46ae592cc.gz 2007-08-20 00:42:30 +08:00			`\section emit emit - Emit a generic event`
