sh
local sh = require "sh"
gluash is a interface to call any program as it were a function. Programs are executed asynchronously to enable streaming of data in pipes.
In all discussions bellow the imported module will be referred to as sh
.
Commands are called just like functions, executed on the sh module.
sh.ls("/")
For commands that have exotic names, names that are reserved words, or to execute absolute or relative paths call the sh module directly.
sh("/bin/ls", "/")
Multiple Arguments
Commands with multiple arguments have to be invoked with a separate string for each argument.
-- this works
sh.ls("-la", "/")
-- this does not work
sh.ls("-la /")
Piping
Piping in sh is done almost like piping in the shell. Just call next command as a method on the previous command.
sh.du("-sb"):sort("-rn"):print()
If the command has a exotic name, or a reserved word, call the command through cmd(path, ...args)
. The first argument in cmd
is the path.
sh.du("-sb"):cmd("sort", "-rn"):print()
Waiting for Processes
All commands are executed by default in the background, so one have to explicitly wait for a process to finish. There are several ways to wait for the command to finish.
print()
- write stdout and stderr to stdout.ok()
- aborts execution if the command's exit code is not zerosuccess()
- returns true of the commands exit code is zeroexitcode()
- returns the exit code of the command
Abort by Default
It is possible to set the module to abort on errors without checking. It can be practical in some occasions, however performance will be degraded. When global exit code checks are done the commands are run in series, even in pipes, and output is saved in memory buffers.
To enable global exit code settings call the sh module with an table with the key abort
set to true.
sh{abort=true}
To read current settings in the module call the module with an empty table.
configuration = sh{}
print("abort:", configuration.abort)
Analyzing Output
There are several options to analyze the output of a command.
lines()
An iterator is accessible by calling the method lines()
on the command.
for line in sh.cat("/etc/hosts"):lines() do
print(line)
end
stdout([filename]), stderr([filename]), combinedOutput([filename])
stdout()
, stderr()
, and combinedOutput()
all returns the output of the command as a string. An optional filename
can be given to the method, in that case the output is also written to the file. The file will be truncated.
-- print output of command
output = sh.echo("hello world"):combinedOutput("/tmp/output")
print(output)
In the example above will print hello world
and it will write it to /tmp/output
Glob Expansion
There is no glob expansion done on arguments, however there is a glob functionality in sh.
sh.ls(sh.glob("*.go"))
re
local re = require "re"
Regular Expressions
API
re.find , re.gsub, re.match, re.gmatch are available. These functions have the same API as Lua pattern match. gluare uses the Go regexp package, so you can use regular expressions that are supported in the Go regexp package.
In addition, the following functions are defined:
gluare.quote(s string) -> string
Arguments:
s string: a string value to escape meta characters
Returns:
string: escaped string
gluare.quote returns a string that quotes all regular expression metacharacters inside the given text.
simplebox
local simplebox = require "simplebox"
Simple encryption
API
Create a new instance of simplebox with a newly generated key
local simplebox = require "simplebox"
local key = simplebox.genkey()
print("key is: " .. key)
local sb = simplebox.new()
