\c source 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

The return status of \c source is the return status of the last job to
|
2007-10-05 14:58:08 +00:00
|
|
|
execute. If something goes wrong while opening or reading the file,
|
2013-08-14 15:55:15 +00:00
|
|
|
\c source exits with a non-zero status.

\c . (a single period) is an alias for the \c source command. The use of \c .

|
|
|
is deprecated in favour of \c source, and \c . will be removed in a future
