\section emit emit - Emit a generic event
|

|
|
\subsection block-synopsis Synopsis
|
|
<tt>emit EVENT_NAME [ARGUMENTS...]</tt>
|
|
|
|
\subsection emit-description Description
|
|
|
|
The emit builtin fires a generic fish event. Such events can be 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>
