2.4.4.2. - Built-In Macro Names
The following macro names are built-in to spec.
They are run at the specified times only if they have been given a
definition.
begin_mac- If a macro by this name exists, it will be run
after reading the hardware configuration file and all the start-up
command files, but before reading commands from the keyboard.
end_mac- If a macro by this name exists, it will be run
when spec exits from either a
^D
or a
quit command.
config_mac- If a macro by this name exists, it will be run after reading the
configuration file at start up and after the
reconfig command is executed.
prompt_mac- If a macro by this name exists, it will always be run just before
spec issues the main, level-zero prompt.
If an error occurs while running
prompt_mac, it will be automatically undefined.
cleanup, cleanup1-
If either or both exists, they will be run
whenever an error is encountered, the
exit command is encountered, or a user types
^C.
The
cleanup macros is run first.
After running the clean-up macros,
spec gives the standard prompt and waits for the next
command from the keyboard.
cleanup_once- A clean-up macro (added in release 4.03.13) that is
always deleted before a new spec
main prompt is issued.
If defined, its definition will be pushed on to the input stream
whenever an error is encountered, the
exit command is encountered, or a user types
^C.
cleanup_always- Like
cleanup_once, but its definition is not removed except by
an explicit
undef command.
