The group Statement

Syntax
group {
    [ statements ]
}

The group statement collects a series of statements into a list. The default processing sections of the server (recv Access-Request, send Accounting-Response %{Acct-Status-Type}, etc.) are also group statements. Those sections are given different name for management reasons, but they behave internally exactly like a group.

[ statements ]

The unlang commands which will be executed.

All of the statements inside of the group are executed in sequence. The group statement is not normally used, as the statements within it can just be placed inside of the enclosing section. However, the group statement is included in the unlang syntax for completeness.

Examples
group {
    sql
    ldap
    file
    if (updated) {
    ...
    }
}

The last entry in a group section can also be an actions subsection.

Grouping Edits

The group keyword can also be used to group multiple edit instructions. When edit instructions are grouped, then the edits are "atomic". That is, either all of the edits succeed, or none of them do.
