The group Statement
group {
[ statements ]
}
The group
statement collects a series of statements into a list.
The default processing sections of the server (recv Access-Request
,
send Accounting-Response %{Acct-Status-Type}
, etc.) are also group
statements. Those sections are given different name for management
reasons, but they behave internally exactly like a group
.
- [ statements ]
-
The
unlang
commands which will be executed.
All of the statements inside of the group
are executed in sequence.
The group
statement is not normally used, as the statements within
it can just be placed inside of the enclosing section. However, the
group
statement is included in the unlang
syntax for completeness.
group {
sql
ldap
file
if (updated) {
...
}
}
The last entry in a group
section can also be an actions subsection.
Grouping Edits
The group
keyword can also be used to group multiple
edit instructions. When edit instructions are
grouped, then the edits are "atomic". That is, either all of the
edits succeed, or none of them do.
