<h2>Case command</h2>
<p>The syntax of the <strong>case</strong> command is</p>
<p><strong>case</strong> <em>word</em> <strong>in</strong></p>
<p><em>pattern1</em> ) <em>list1</em> ;;</p>
<p><em>pattern2</em> | <em>pattern3</em> ) <em>list2</em> ;;</p>
<p>...</p>
<p><strong>esac</strong></p>
<p><strong>qsh</strong> expands each <em>pattern</em> in turn and
sees if it matches the expansion of <em>word</em>. When there is a
match, <strong>qsh</strong> runs the corresponding <em>list</em>.
After the first match, no more patterns are expanded. See <a href=
"pattern.htm">"Shell Patterns"</a> for more details on
patterns.</p>
<p><strong>Examples</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>A case command for processing command line options.
<pre>
while getopts ap:t: c ; do
case $c in
a) aflag=1;;
p) pflag=1
path=$OPTARG;;
t) time=$OPTARG;;
*) print -u2 "Invalid option"
exit 1;;
