17 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
---|
18 | \fBlist \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? |
---|
19 | .BE |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
22 | .PP |
---|
23 | This command returns a list comprised of all the \fIarg\fRs, |
---|
24 | or an empty string if no \fIarg\fRs are specified. |
---|
25 | Braces and backslashes get added as necessary, so that the \fBlindex\fR command |
---|
26 | may be used on the result to re-extract the original arguments, and also |
---|
27 | so that \fBeval\fR may be used to execute the resulting list, with |
---|
28 | \fIarg1\fR comprising the command's name and the other \fIarg\fRs comprising |
---|
29 | its arguments. \fBList\fR produces slightly different results than |
---|
30 | \fBconcat\fR: \fBconcat\fR removes one level of grouping before forming |
---|
31 | the list, while \fBlist\fR works directly from the original arguments. |
---|
32 | .SH EXAMPLE |
---|
33 | The command |
---|
34 | .CS |
---|
35 | \fBlist\fR a b "c d e " " f {g h}" |
---|
36 | .CE |
---|
37 | will return |
---|
38 | .CS |
---|
39 | \fBa b {c d e } { f {g h}}\fR |
---|
40 | .CE |
---|
41 | while \fBconcat\fR with the same arguments will return |
---|
42 | .CS |
---|
43 | \fBa b c d e f {g h}\fR |
