Completely fixes #1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and generally prettier. todo: - trap unmarked text as arguments in context - test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD (Mac) and GNU sed). - test Makefile changes - last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there…

|
|
if CONDITION; COMMANDS_TRUE...;

\subsection if-description Description
|
|
|
|
`if` will execute the command `CONDITION`. If the condition's
|
|
exit status is 0, the commands `COMMANDS_TRUE` will execute. If the
|
|
exit status is not 0 and `else` is given, `COMMANDS_FALSE` will
|
|
be executed.
|
|
|
|
In order to use the exit status of multiple commands as the condition
|
|
of an if block, use <a href="#begin">`begin; ...; end`</a> and
|
|
the short circuit commands <a href="commands.html#and">`and`</a>
|
|
and <a href="commands.html#or">`or`</a>.
|
|
|
|
The exit status of the last foreground command to exit can always be
|
|
accessed using the <a href="index.html#variables-status">$status</a>
|
|
variable.
|

|
\subsection if-example Example
|
|
|
|
\fish
|
|
if test -f foo.txt
|
|
echo foo.txt exists
|
|
else if test -f bar.txt
|
|
echo bar.txt exists
|
|
else
|
|
echo foo.txt and bar.txt do not exist
|
|
end
|
|
\endfish
|
|
|
|
will print `foo.txt exists` if the file foo.txt
|
|
exists and is a regular file, otherwise it will print
|
|
`bar.txt exists` if the file bar.txt exists
|
|
and is a regular file, otherwise it will print
|
|
`foo.txt and bar.txt do not exist`.
