The Segment Statement

segment_name = segment {
    < pipeline stage > + < pipeline stage > + ...

}

Behavior

Defines a reusable segment of a pipeline that can be made up of multiple pipeline stages. The segment then behaves just like a normal pipeline stage itself. This statement is useful when you have a commonly reoccurring sequence of pipeline stages that you wish to use multiple times in your pipelines, or even multiple times in a single pipeline.

Examples

Define a simple Pipeline Segment

hello = {
   exec "echo hello"
}

world = {
   exec "echo world"
}

hello_world = segment {
  hello + world
}

Bpipe.run {
  hello_world
}
