• -m - Creates the hash table if it does not exist
• -s - Displays the assignment information
• -b - Treats the value as a binary variable
• -c - Truncates the &bvar at the first null value
• -z - Decreases the value by 1.0 every second; stops at zero
• -u# - Removes the key/value after # seconds

Parameters

• ‹table› - The handle name of the table to operate on
• <key> - The key associated with the value
• [num] - The value to decrease the value by
• <&bvar> - The binary variable value to decrease the value by

Example

alias countdown {
  ;adds the item down with a value of 10 to the table count
  hadd -m count down 10
  echo -a $hget(count,down) $+ !
  :repeat
  ;checks if the value of down returns true
  if ($hget(count,down) > 1) {
    ;decreases down by 1
    hdec count down
    ;echos the current count
    echo -a $hget(count,down) $+ !
    ;repeats
    goto repeat
  }
  ;if the previous if statement returns false it carries on with this.
