\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>
