.. _cmd-while:
|
||||
|
||||
while - perform a command multiple times
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Synopsis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
while CONDITION; COMMANDS...; end
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
``while`` repeatedly executes ``CONDITION``, and if the exit status is 0, then executes ``COMMANDS``.
|
||||
|
||||
The exit status of the while loop is the exit status of the last iteration of the ``COMMANDS`` executed, or 0 if none were executed. (This matches other shells and is POSIX-compatible.)
|
||||
|
||||
You can use :ref:`and <cmd-and>` or :ref:`or <cmd-or>` for complex conditions. Even more complex control can be achieved with ``while true`` containing a :ref:`break <cmd-break>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
while test -f foo.txt; or test -f bar.txt ; echo file exists; sleep 10; end
|
||||
# outputs 'file exists' at 10 second intervals as long as the file foo.txt or bar.txt exists.
