\section switch switch - conditionally execute a block of commands
\subsection switch-synopsis Synopsis
<tt>switch VALUE; [case [WILDCARD...]; [COMMANDS...];...] end</tt>
\subsection switch-description Description
The \c switch statement is used to perform one of several blocks of
commands depending on whether a specified value equals one of several
wildcarded values.
\subsection switch-example Example
If the variable \$animal contins the name of an animal, the
following code would attempt to classify it:
<p>
<pre>
switch $animal
case cat
echo evil
case wolf dog human moose dolphin whale
echo mammal
case duck goose albatros
echo bird
case shark trout stingray
echo fish
end
</pre>
</p>
<p>
If the above code was run with \$animal set to \c whale, the output
would be \c mammal.
