\section emit emit - Emit a generic event

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

\subsection emit-description Description

\c emit emits, or fires, an event. Events are delivered to, or 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 2007-08-19 16:42:30 +00:00			`\section emit emit - Emit a generic event`
