emit - Emit a generic event

Synopsis

emit EVENT_NAME

Description

The emit builtin fires a generic fish event. Such events can be caught by special functions called event handlers.

Example

The following code first defines an event handler for the generic event named 'test_event', and then emits an event of that type.

function event_test --on-event test_event
    echo event test!!!
end

emit test_event
