The following is an example of using comments: + +.Bd -literal +echo hello !! @ Echos the text "hello !!" +.Ed + +.Sh DEFINITIONS +OSH defines "control operators" as any character(s) reserved by OSH for +representing specific operations (e.g., background jobs, command repetition, etc): + +The +.Ft '&' +control operator is used after a command or binary path +in order to run the executable as a background job, allowing +the shell to continue immediately. Here is an example of running "sleep" in the background: +.Bd -literal +-- +@ +@ Usually this will hang the shell for 5 +@ seconds until sleep wakes up. However, +@ when we postpend '&', the shell executes +@ 'sleep' as a background job and continues +@ as usual. +@ +sleep 5 & +-- +.Ed + +The +.Ft '!!' +control operator is used to repeat the most recently used +command. This is simply written by itself like this: + +.Bd -literal +-- +echo "hewwo" @ Echo "hewwo" +!! @ Do it again... +-- +.Ed + +.Sh AUTHORS +.An Ian Moffett Aq Mt ian@osmora.org |
