\section eval eval - evaluate the specified commands
\subsection eval-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
eval [COMMANDS...]
\endfish
\subsection eval-description Description
`eval` evaluates the specified parameters as a command. If more than one parameter is specified, all parameters will be joined using a space character as a separator.
If your command does not need access to stdin, consider using `source` instead.
\subsection eval-example Example
The following code will call the ls command. Note that `fish` does not support the use of shell variables as direct commands; `eval` can be used to work around this.
\fish
set cmd ls
eval $cmd
\endfish
