How +# this works is that the save file is itself a shell script saved in the config +# directory (one per top-level live-build command in fact). When `lb config`, +# `lb build` or `lb clean` is run, these scripts, if they see that an "auto" +# file exists in the config, they run that file, passing along any user +# arguments, and terminate once that ends. The "auto" script simply re-executes +# the same command (e.g. `lb config`), only with a first param of "noauto", +# used to stop an infinite loop of further redirection, then a fixed saved set +# of command line options, as saved in the file by the user, then any +# additional command line arguments passed into the script. This is simply a +# means of injecting a saved set of command line options into the execution of +# live-build. +# +# As for this function, it is a simple helper, used by the top-level commands +# to perform the redirection if the relevant "auto" file exists. It should only +# be called if the calling command script was not run with "noauto" as the +# first argument (the purpose of which was just described).
