\subsection while-description Description
|
|
`while` repeatedly executes `CONDITION`, and if the exit status
|
|
is 0, then executes `COMMANDS`.
|
|
|
|
If the exit status of `CONDITION` is non-zero on the first iteration,
|
|
`COMMANDS` will not be executed at all.
|
|
|
|
Use <a href="#begin">`begin; ...; end`</a> for complex conditions; more
|
|
complex control can be achieved with `while true` containing a
|
|
<a href="#break">break</a>.
|
|
|
|
\subsection while-example Example
|
|
|
|
`while test -f foo.txt; echo file exists; sleep 10; end`
|
|
outputs 'file exists' at 10 second intervals as long as
|
|
the file foo.txt exists.
