Description
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The for command is used to loop over a list of values and execute a series of
|
||
|
commands for each of these.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The counter variable of the loop is a shell variable. Please, keep in mind that
|
||
|
an environment variable takes precedence over a shell variable of the same name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
variable
|
||
|
name of the counter variable
|

|
|
||
|
items
|
||
|
space separated item list
|

commands
|

Example
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
|
||
|
::
|
||
|
|
||
|
=> setenv c
|
||
|
=> for c in 1 2 3; do echo item ${c}; done
|
||
|
item 1
|
||
|
item 2
|
||
|
item 3
|
||
|
=> echo ${c}
|
||
|
3
|
||
|
=> setenv c x
|
||
|
=> for c in 1 2 3; do echo item ${c}; done
|
||
|
item x
|
||
|
item x
|
||
|
item x
|
||
|
=>
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first line ensures that there is no environment variable *c*. Hence in the
|
||
|
first loop the shell variable *c* is printed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After defining an environment variable of name *c* it takes precedence over the
|
||
|
shell variable and the environment variable is printed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Return value
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The return value $? after the done statement is the return value of the last
|
||
|
statement executed in the loop.
