Synopsis:
eval <commands>
Description:
EVAL takes the commands given it and passes them through EPIC's internal
inline parser before executing them. This means that variables will be
expanded once, and the command terminator (;) is honored. This has the
same effect as executing a command with INPUT_ALIASES turned on.
Examples:
To force the display of a variable when not inside an alias:
eval echo The variable's value is $foo
See Also:
set (4) input_aliases
Other Notes:
Care should be taken when using EVAL with untrusted input. If EVAL
must be used, it is important to first strip out any characters that
have special meaning to the inline parser, such as ';'. Using EVAL in
this manner can very easily lead to a hijacked client or compromised
account.
