9: Device Ports Command expect, expect_user, expect_before, expect_after, expect_background return Description The expect command waits for input and attempts to match it against one or more patterns. If one of the patterns matches the input the corresponding (optional) command is executed. All expect commands have the same syntax: expect { {command 1} {command 2} ... {command n}} where will either be a quoted string, a variable reference or the reserved word 'timeout.' The command x is optional, but the curly braces ('{' and '}') are required. If present it must be a primary command. The return command terminates execution of the script and returns an optional value to the calling environment. Syntax: return where can be a word or a variable reference. Secondary Commands These are commands which provide data or other support to the Primary commands. These commands are never used by themselves in a script. The preprocessor will require that these commands always follow a left square bracket ('[') character and be followed on a single line by a right bracket (']').
