Lantronix SLC 8000 manual Control Flow Commands

	8: Device Ports
Command	Description
timestamp	This command returns the current time of day as determined by the SLC . The
	timestamp command will only be used in combination with the set command to
	produce the value for a variable. Syntax:
	timestamp <format>
	where <format> is a quoted string.
format	The format command is analogous to the C language sprintf(). The format
	command will only be used in combination with the set command to produce the
	value for a variable. Syntax:
	format <format string> <value 1> <value 2> ... <value n>
	where <format string> will be a quoted string. Each of the <value x> elements will be
	a word, a quoted string or a variable reference.

Control Flow Commands

The control flow commands allow conditional execution of blocks of other commands. The preprocessor treats these as Primary commands, allowing them to appear anywhere in a script that a Primary command is appropriate.

	Table 8-19 Control Flow Commands
Command	Description
while	The while command executes an associated block of commands as long as its
	Boolean expression evaluates to TRUE. After each iteration the Boolean expression
	is re-evaluated; when the Boolean expression evaluates to FALSE execution
	passes to the first command following the associated block. Each command within
	the block must be a Primary command. Syntax:
	while {<Boolean expression>} {
	command 1
	command 2
	...
	command n
	}
