- Synopsis:
- queue [<flag>] <name> [<number>] [<commands>]
-
- Description:
- QUEUE allows for a sort of batch processing in ircII-EPIC. It is a
- convenient mechanism for preparing to execute a command at a later,
- undetermined time. It can also be used as a sort of dynamically
- growing alias.
-
- Sets of commands may be stored into named queues; there is no limit
- to the number of queues that may exist, or the number of commands that
- may be present in a queue. For queues with multiple commands, the
- commands must be surrounded by curly braces.
-
- Options:
- -delete delete the specified entry number in the named queue
- -do runs the commands in the named queue
- -no_flush does not flush commands (for use only with -do)
- -flush flush the named queue without running the commands
- -list show the contents of the named queue
- -show show the contents of all queues
-
- Examples:
- To add an item to the queue "foo":
- queue foo {
- echo This is a queued command.
- echo Isn't it cool?
- }
-
- To delete an item from a queue with multiple items:
- queue -delete foo 2

-
- Bugs:
- Error checking is not horribly tight with QUEUE. Trying to confuse the
- client with multiple arguments that don't belong together will probably
- succeed. Using multiple flags should be avoided whenever possible.
