4. Boolean and arithmetic expressions
|
||||
|
||||
These are used in two places: the "test" attribute and two other
|
||||
attributes used to perform basic arithmetic manipulation on arguments
|
||||
before writing them to the command line. The syntax is similar to most
|
||||
programming languages, with `=' being the equality test. The words
|
||||
`and', `or', and `not' are used as boolean connectives. Identifiers
|
||||
are interpreted as the values associated with arguments on the command
|
||||
line if they are present; arguments without values are given the
|
||||
boolean value true. Identifiers not present on the command line are
|
||||
interpreted as literal strings.
|
||||
|
||||
The attributes "from-cli-conv" and "to-cli-conv", when placed in a
|
||||
<number> element, convert values from those present on the command
|
||||
line to those in the dialog and vice versa, respectively. They are
|
||||
arithmetic expressions interpreted in the normal way, with the literal
|
||||
"var" replaced by the value to be converted. This can be used, for
|
||||
example, when converting the value of the "-delay" argument to a more
|
||||
meaningful value for speed.
