\section eval eval - evaluate the specified commands

\subsection eval-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{syn}
eval [COMMANDS...]
\endfish

\subsection eval-description Description
`eval` evaluates the specified parameters as a command. If more than one parameter is specified, all parameters will be joined using a space character as a separator.

\subsection eval-example Example

The following code will call the ls command. Note that \c fish does not
support the use of shell variables as direct commands; \c eval can
be used to work around this.

\fish
set cmd ls
eval $cmd
\endfish
