;;; Commentary:

;;;_* Invoking external commands
;;
;; External commands cause processes to be created, by loading
;; external executables into memory.  This is what most normal shells
;; do, most of the time.  For more information, see [External commands].
;;
;;;_* Invoking Lisp functions
;;
;; A Lisp function can be invoked using Lisp syntax, or command shell
;; syntax.  For example, to run `dired' to edit the current directory:
;;
;;   /tmp $ (dired ".")
;;
;; Or:
;;
;;   /tmp $ dired .
;;
;; The latter form is preferable, but the former is more precise,
;; since it involves no translations.  See [Argument parsing], to
;; learn more about how arguments are transformed before passing them
;; to commands.
;;
;; Ordinarily, if 'dired' were also available as an external command,
;; the external version would be called in preference to any Lisp
;; function of the same name.  To change this behavior so that Lisp
;; functions always take precedence, set
;; `eshell-prefer-lisp-functions' to t.

(defcustom eshell-prefer-lisp-functions nil
  "*If non-nil, prefer Lisp functions to external commands."
  :type 'boolean
  :group 'eshell-cmd)

;;;_* Alias functions
;;
;; Whenever a command is specified using a simple name, such as 'ls',
;; Eshell will first look for a Lisp function of the name `eshell/ls'.
;; If it exists, it will be called in preference to any other command
;; which might have matched the name 'ls' (such as command aliases,
;; external commands, Lisp functions of that name, etc).
;;
;; This is the most flexible mechanism for creating new commands,
;; since it does not pollute the global namespace, yet allows you to
;; use all of Lisp's facilities to define that piece of functionality.
;; Most of Eshell's "builtin" commands are defined as alias functions.
;;
;;;_* Lisp arguments
;;
;; It is possible to invoke a Lisp form as an argument.  This can be
;; done either by specifying the form as you might in Lisp, or by
;; using the '$' character to introduce a value-interpolation:
;;
;;   echo (+ 1 2)
;;
;; Or
;;
;;   echo $(+ 1 2)
;;
;; The two forms are equivalent.  The second is required only if the
;; form being interpolated is within a string, or is a subexpression
;; of a larger argument:
;;
;;   echo x$(+ 1 2) "String $(+ 1 2)"
;;
;; To pass a Lisp symbol as a argument, use the alternate quoting
;; syntax, since the single quote character is far too overused in
;; shell syntax:
;;
;;   echo #'lisp-symbol
;;
;; Backquote can also be used:
;;
;;   echo `(list ,lisp-symbol)
;;
;; Lisp arguments are identified using the following regexp:

(defcustom eshell-lisp-regexp "\\([(`]\\|#'\\)"
  "*A regexp which, if matched at beginning of an argument, means Lisp.
Such arguments will be passed to `read', and then evaluated."
  :type 'regexp
  :group 'eshell-cmd)

;;;_* Command hooks
;;
;; There are several hooks involved with command execution, which can
;; be used either to change or augment Eshell's behavior.

(defcustom eshell-pre-command-hook nil
  "*A hook run before each interactive command is invoked."
  :type 'hook
  :group 'eshell-cmd)

(defcustom eshell-post-command-hook nil
  "*A hook run after each interactive command is invoked."
  :type 'hook
  :group 'eshell-cmd)

(defcustom eshell-prepare-command-hook nil
  "*A set of functions called to prepare a named command.
The command name and its argument are in `eshell-last-command-name'
and `eshell-last-arguments'.  The functions on this hook can change
the value of these symbols if necessary.

To prevent a command from executing at all, set
`eshell-last-command-name' to nil."
  :type 'hook
  :group 'eshell-cmd)

(defcustom eshell-named-command-hook nil
  "*A set of functions called before a named command is invoked.
Each function will be passed the command name and arguments that were
passed to `eshell-named-command'.

If any of the functions returns a non-nil value, the named command
will not be invoked, and that value will be returned from
`eshell-named-command'.

In order to substitute an alternate command form for execution, the
hook function should throw it using the tag `eshell-replace-command'.
For example:

  (add-hook 'eshell-named-command-hook 'subst-with-cd)
  (defun subst-with-cd (command args)
    (throw 'eshell-replace-command
	   (eshell-parse-command \"cd\" args)))

Although useless, the above code will cause any non-glob, non-Lisp
command (i.e., 'ls' as opposed to '*ls' or '(ls)') to be replaced by a
call to `cd' using the arguments that were passed to the function."

so by adding a function to this hook.  The first function to return a
substitute command form is the one used.  Each function is passed the
command's full argument list, which is a list of sexps (typically
forms or strings)."

;;   as `setq', `if', `while', `let*', etc.  The only special forms
;;   that can be used are `let', `condition-case' and
;;   `unwind-protect'.
;;
;; @ The main body of a `let' can contain only one form.  Use `progn'
;;   if necessary.
;;
;; @ The two `special' variables are `eshell-current-handles' and
;;   `eshell-current-subjob-p'.  Bind them locally with a `let' if you
;;   need to change them.  Change them directly only if your intention
;;   is to change the calling environment.

;;;_* Iterative evaluation
;;
;; Eshell runs all of its external commands asynchronously, so that
;; Emacs is not blocked while the operation is being performed.
;; However, this introduces certain synchronization difficulties,
;; since the Lisp code, once it returns, will not "go back" to finish
;; executing the commands which haven't yet been started.
;;
;; What Eshell does to work around this problem (basically, the lack
;; of threads in Lisp), is that it evaluates the command sequence
;; iteratively.  Whenever an asynchronous process is begun, evaluation
;; terminates and control is given back to Emacs.  When that process
;; finishes, it will resume the evaluation using the remainder of the
;; command tree.
