Here's a question...
Is there an easy way to exit from an rc file included via the INCLUDERC
variable? I was hoping that setting the HOST variable would work, but
that exits from *everything*.
What I want is to immediately exit at the top of an rc file if a given
header exists. Something like:
:0
* $ ^$THE_HEADER_I_WANT
{ HOST=_exit_from_rc_file_ }
I suppose one alternative is to wrap the entire rc file inside the
nesting block; that is:
:0
* $ ! ^$THE_HEADER_I_WANT
{
...the other recipes...
}
The difficulty here is that these recipes are being auto-generated from
*other* rc scripts, and trying to wrap them inside something like this
adds an additional level of complexity (and the resulting file offends
my aesthetics :-).
Any thoughts?
