scripts

This repository holds a collection of over 500 scripts, utilities and libraries for Unix-like operating systems, OBS plugins and browser extensions, written in: Awk, Bash, C , C++, execline, Go, JavaScript, POSIX Shell, Perl, Python, and Rust.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/XPhyro/scripts.git # clone repository
git submodule update --init --recursive # initialise dependencies

make install # install for your user
sudo make install # or install system-wide (recommended)

You may set $PREFIX to change the installation directory. By default, it is ~/.local for your user, or /usr/local for the system.

After installation, add $PREFIX/share/scripts/include to your path. A POSIX shell standard library will have been installed here, and will be used by all shell scripts.

If you would like to use the provided wrapper scripts, also add $PREFIX/bin/wrapper to your $PATH with higher priority than the locations of the wrapped scripts.

Uninstallation

make uninstall # if you installed for your user
sudo make uninstall # if you installed system-wide

You do not need to re-set $PREFIX while uninstalling. The previously-used $PREFIX will automatically be used.

If you altered your $PATH, you may also wish to undo it.

There are many other scripts & programs apart from these. Take a look under src/.

Apart from executables, there are also C & C++ libraries, and even a home brew standard library for POSIX shells!

Usage

See man COMMAND, COMMAND -h or COMMAND --help. Trivial programs & scripts do not have man pages or help dialogues, either infer usage from their names, or see the source code.

In all shell scripts, if you set $SHELL_VERBOSE to greater than 0, set -x is executed and all executed commands are printed to standard error.

Caveats

  • Some scripts assume that some of the other scripts are in your $PATH, so partial installation is not recommended.
  • In some scripts, GNU extensions like sed -i or strcasestr are used, so they may not work on strictly-POSIX environments.
  • Some scripts were written with only Linux in mind, although they may be compatible with other Unixes and Unix-likes, or may be ported with minimal modification.
  • All scripts/programs are only tested on Linux.
  • C and C++ code are only tested with the latest release of GCC. Most programs are compatible with any POSIX/ISO-conforming compilers but some use non-standard GNU/LLVM extensions.
