Parameters:

line (str) – the text to be written.

Warning

The contents of the command file is executed without any security checks.

post.flushCommands()

Flush the command file buffer.

post.disableCommands()

Disable command writing and flushing, also for commands emitted internally in the library.

post.enableCommands()

Enable command writing and flushing, also for commands emitted internally in the library.

post.reopenCommandFile()

Reopen the command file, which may be useful if it was modified externally while open by the library.
