  switch

  NAME

    switch - evaluates expression and transfers control, depending on result

  SYNOPSIS

    switch (string)
    ...
    case str1:
    ...
    breaksw
    ...
    default:
    ...
    breaksw
    endsw

  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a C-shell built-in command.

    Each case label is successively matched, against the specified string that
    is first command and file-name expanded. The file metacharacters *, ?, and
    [...] can be used in the case labels, which are variable expanded. If none
    of the labels match before a 'default' label is found, the execution
    begins after the default label. Each case label and the default label must
    appear at the beginning of a line. The command breaksw causes execution to
    continue after the endsw. Otherwise, control can fall through case labels
    and default labels, as in C. If no label matches, and there is no default,
    execution continues after the endsw.
