Synopsis

block [(--local | --global)]

block --erase
|

|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
``block`` delays delivery of all events triggered by ``fish`` or the :doc:`emit <emit>`, thus delaying the execution of any function registered ``--on-event``, ``--on-process-exit``, ``--on-job-exit``, ``--on-variable`` and ``--on-signal`` until after the block is removed.
|
|
|
|
Event blocks should not be confused with code blocks, which are created with ``begin``, ``if``, ``while`` or ``for``
|
|
|
|
Without options, ``block`` sets up a block that is released automatically at the end of the current function scope.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
**-l** or **--local**
|
|
Release the block automatically at the end of the current innermost code block scope.
|
|
|
|
**-g** or **--global**
|
|
Never automatically release the lock.
|
|
|
|
**-e** or **--erase**
|
|
Release global block.
|
|
|
|
**-h** or **--help**
|
|
Display help about using this command.

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# Create a function that listens for events
|
|
function --on-event foo foo; echo 'foo fired'; end
|
|
|
|
# Block the delivery of events
|
|
block -g
|
|
|
|
emit foo
|
|
# No output will be produced
|
|
|
|
block -e
|
|
# 'foo fired' will now be printed

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Events are only received from the current fish process as there is no way to send events from one fish process to another.
