Example 2: eval function in unix

eval [arg ...]
    The  args  are read and concatenated together into a single com-
    mand.  This command is then read and executed by the shell,  and
    its  exit status is returned as the value of eval.  If there are
    no args, or only null arguments, eval returns 0.
