\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, and the exit status of the loop set to the exit status of `CONDITION`.
|
||||
|
||||
The exit status of the loop is 0 otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use <a href="#and">`and`</a> or <a href="#or">`or`</a> for complex conditions. Even more complex control can be achieved with `while true` containing a <a href="#break">break</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection while-example Example
|
||||
|
||||
\fish
|
||||
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.
