eval

Evaluate several commands/arguments.

SYNTAX
        eval arg ...    

Treats the arguments as input to the shell and executes the resulting command(s) in the context of the current shell.

This is usually used to execute commands generated as the result of command or variable substitution, because parsing occurs before these substitutions.

`eval' is a tcsh shell command.
