Synopsis
It is often valuable to group rule sets by function and call them as subroutines from a rule. To illustrate, consider the following rule:
R $+ < @ $+ > $: $>set
Here, the RHS $>
set
operator tells sendmail to perform additional
rewriting using a secondary set of rules called
set
. The workspace is passed as is to that
secondary rule set, and the result of the rewriting by that secondary
rule set becomes the new workspace.
The $>
operator is described in full in Section 18.7.4.
