KILL

1984 Version of ANSI Standard

☞

KILL command

See Kill for formal definition.

  1. Kill all local variables.
  2. Kill the variables whose names contain the name in Result.
  3. Check to see that Result is at most a 1-tuple (that is, that the local variable is not subscripted).
    If it is not, trap execution.
    Otherwise, mark the local variables whose names contain the name in Result.
  4. Kill all local variables except those marked by action 3.
    Remove the marks.

Note: The n-tuple name (al, a2, ..., an) contains the m-tuple name (bl, b2, ..., bm) if and only if m < n, and for each i where i = 1, 2, ..., m, ai = bi.
