No, it is not. POSIX compliance is a non-goal. Perhaps in the future, someone would be able to write a native plugin to support shell scripting (which would be against it&rsquo;s main goal, but &hellip;.)
Windows Support? It compiles for Windows (CI ensures it does), but otherwise it is not directly supported. If you&rsquo;d like to improve this situation, checkout the discussion .
Where is the API documentation?</description></item><item><title>Getting Started</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/getting-started/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/getting-started/</guid><description>To start Hilbish, open a terminal. If Hilbish has been installed and is not the default shell, you can simply run hilbish to start it. This will launch a normal interactive session. To exit, you can either run the exit command or hit Ctrl+D.
Setting as Default Login shell There are a few ways to make Hilbish your default shell. A simple way is to make it your user/login shell.</description></item><item><title>Improving Hilbish's Branding</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/improving-this-website/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 22:15:31 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/improving-this-website/</guid><description>Happy birthday Hilbish! As of last month, Hilbish is now 2 years old. Unfortunately I missed the official date, but I will still make a more focused post on the date (19st).
I decided to fix up this website and Hilbish&rsquo;s logo, so that can be thought of as something for the 2 years milestone?
Logo Hilbish&rsquo;s old logo was.. not that good. It definitely functioned as a logo, but the yellow part of it looked ugly (sorry old logo).</description></item><item><title>v2.1.2 Release</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/v2.1.2-release/</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:27:41 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/v2.1.2-release/</guid><description>The release with full changelogs and prebuilt binaries can be seen at the v2.1.2 tag.

Hilbish modules are Go-written plugins (see https://pkg.go.dev/plugin ) that are used to add functionality to Hilbish that cannot be written in Lua for any reason.
Note that you don&rsquo;t ever need to use the load function that is here as modules can be loaded with a require call like Lua C modules, and the search paths can be changed with the paths property here.</description></item><item><title>Interface hilbish.os</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.os/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.os/</guid><description> Introduction The os interface provides simple text information properties about the current OS on the systen.

Users can add and change the default runner for interactive input to any language or script of their choosing. A good example is using it to write command in Fennel.
Functions setMode(cb) This is the same as the hilbish.runnerMode function. It takes a callback, which will be used to execute all interactive input.</description></item><item><title>Interface hilbish.timers</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.timers/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.timers/</guid><description>Introduction If you ever want to run a piece of code on a timed interval, or want to wait a few seconds, you don&rsquo;t have to rely on timing tricks, as Hilbish has a timer API to set intervals and timeouts.
These are the simple functions hilbish.interval and hilbish.timeout (doc accessible with doc hilbish). But if you want slightly more control over them, there is the hilbish.timers interface. It allows you to get a timer via ID and control them.</description></item><item><title>Interface hilbish.userDir</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.userdir/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.userdir/</guid><description> Introduction This interface just contains properties to know about certain user directories.

Why name it bait? Why not. It throws hooks that you can catch. This is what you will use if you want to listen in on hooks to know when certain things have happened, like when you&rsquo;ve changed directory, a command has failed, etc. To find all available hooks thrown by Hilbish, see doc hooks.
Functions catch(name, cb) Catches a hook with name.</description></item><item><title>Module commander</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/commander/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/commander/</guid><description>Introduction Commander is a library for writing custom commands in Lua. In order to make it easier to write commands for Hilbish, not require separate scripts and to be able to use in a config, the Commander library exists. This is like a very simple wrapper that works with Hilbish for writing commands. Example:
local commander = require &#39;commander&#39; commander.register(&#39;hello&#39;, function(args, sinks) sinks.out:writeln &#39;Hello world!&#39; end) In this example, a command with the name of hello is created that will print Hello world!</description></item><item><title>Module fs</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/fs/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/fs/</guid><description>Introduction The fs module provides easy and simple access to filesystem functions and other things, and acts an addition to the Lua standard library&rsquo;s I/O and filesystem functions.
Functions abs(path) -&gt; string Gives an absolute version of path.
basename(path) -&gt; string Gives the basename of path. For the rules, see Go&rsquo;s filepath.Base
cd(dir) Changes directory to dir
dir(path) -&gt; string Returns the directory part of path. For the rules, see Go&rsquo;s filepath.</description></item><item><title>Module terminal</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/terminal/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/api/terminal/</guid><description>Introduction The terminal library is a simple and lower level library for certain terminal interactions.
Functions restoreState() Restores the last saved state of the terminal
saveState() Saves the current state of the terminal
setRaw() Puts the terminal in raw mode
size() Gets the dimensions of the terminal. Returns a table with width and height Note: this is not the size in relation to the dimensions of the display</description></item><item><title>Notification</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/features/notifications/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/features/notifications/</guid><description>Hilbish features a simple notification system which can be used by other plugins and parts of the shell to notify the user of various actions. This is used via the hilbish.message interface.
A message is defined as a table with the following properties:
icon: A unicode/emoji icon for the notification. title: The title of the message text: Message text/body channel: The source of the message. This should be a unique and easily readable text identifier.</description></item><item><title>Runner Mode</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/features/runner-mode/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/docs/features/runner-mode/</guid><description>Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted. This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.
In some cases, someone might want to switch to just shell script to avoid it while interactive but still have a Lua config, or go full Lua to use Hilbish as a REPL. This also allows users to add alternative languages like Fennel as the interactive script runner.</description></item><item><title>Welcome to the Hilbish blog</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/welcome/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/sudo-completion/blog/welcome/</guid><description>Hello!
