2023-08 Note: this is **alpha** level software and still highly experimental.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Features
|
||
|
|
- default ansi color output - toggle with 'colour on' and 'colour off'
|
||
|
|
- experimental functional language features. (will not be performant until more work is done on script compilation)
|
||
|
|
e.g var_pipe_output.= var_list.= list a b c |> string toupper
|
||
|
|
- easy execution of externals commands with return of stdout, stderr and the exitcode of the process
|
||
|
|
- run <comand> ...
|
||
|
|
(return exitcode of process - and allows process writes to stderr/stdout to appear in console as they occur)
|
||
|
|
- runout <command> ...
|
||
|
|
(return stdout of process - no output until completion)
|
||
|
|
- runerr <command> ...
|
||
|
|
(return stderr of process - no output until completion)
|
||
|
|
- runx
|
||
|
|
(return a dict of stdout stderr exitcode - no output until completion)
|
||
|

|
#### very unripe parts:
|
||
|
|
- commandline options - in need of urgent work to document and lock down specifics - in particular: punkshell somescript.tcl needs a fix to emit errors.
|
||
|
|
- shellfilter - api is clumsy
|
||
|
|
- scriptlib - will likely be reorganised/pruned significantly
