See the examples in the AHELP and HELP for NOCOMMIT. The one in the AHELP is simpler but doesn't really show how you'd use it in practice. The one in the HELP is clear and complete, showing how you'd: * read a file from disk before touching the pipeline, * fail if you didn't find what you wanted on disk, * commit otherwise, and then * exit before doing anything else if the commit failed. As other examples, before committing you might want to use a pipeline to capture command output, or to open a connection to a server. ¬R
