## Introduction
|
|
The Hilbish module includes the core API, containing
|
|
interfaces and functions which directly relate to shell functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Functions
|
|
### alias(cmd, orig)
|
|
Sets an alias of `cmd` to `orig`
|
|
|
|
### appendPath(dir)
|
|
Appends `dir` to $PATH
|
|
|
|
### complete(scope, cb)
|
|
Registers a completion handler for `scope`.
|
|
A `scope` is currently only expected to be `command.<cmd>`,
|
|
replacing <cmd> with the name of the command (for example `command.git`).
|
|
`cb` must be a function that returns a table of "completion groups."
|
|
Check `doc completions` for more information.
|
|
|
|
### cwd()
|
|
Returns the current directory of the shell
|
|
|
|
### exec(cmd)
|
|
Replaces running hilbish with `cmd`
|
|
|
|
### goro(fn)
|
|
Puts `fn` in a goroutine
|
|
|
|
### highlighter(line)
|
|
Line highlighter handler. This is mainly for syntax highlighting, but in
|
|
reality could set the input of the prompt to *display* anything. The
|
|
callback is passed the current line and is expected to return a line that
|
|
will be used as the input display.
|
|
|
|
### hinter(line, pos)
|
|
The command line hint handler. It gets called on every key insert to
|
|
determine what text to use as an inline hint. It is passed the current
|
|
line and cursor position. It is expected to return a string which is used
|
|
as the text for the hint. This is by default a shim. To set hints,
|
|
override this function with your custom handler.
|
|
|
|
### inputMode(mode)
|
|
Sets the input mode for Hilbish's line reader. Accepts either emacs or vim
|
|
|
|
### interval(cb, time)
|
|
Runs the `cb` function every `time` milliseconds.
|
|
Returns a `timer` object (see `doc timers`).
|
|
|
|
### multiprompt(str)
|
|
Changes the continued line prompt to `str`
|
|
|
|
### prependPath(dir)
|
|
Prepends `dir` to $PATH
|
|
|
|
### prompt(str, typ)
|
|
Changes the shell prompt to `str`
|
|
There are a few verbs that can be used in the prompt text.
|
|
These will be formatted and replaced with the appropriate values.
|
|
`%d` - Current working directory
|
|
`%u` - Name of current user
|
|
`%h` - Hostname of device
|
|
|
|
### read(prompt) -> input
|
|
Read input from the user, using Hilbish's line editor/input reader.
|
|
This is a separate instance from the one Hilbish actually uses.
|
|
Returns `input`, will be nil if ctrl + d is pressed, or an error occurs (which shouldn't happen)
|
|
|
|
### run(cmd, returnOut) -> exitCode, stdout, stderr
|
|
Runs `cmd` in Hilbish's sh interpreter.
|
|
If returnOut is true, the outputs of `cmd` will be returned as the 2nd and
|
|
3rd values instead of being outputted to the terminal.
|
|
|
|
### runnerMode(mode)
|
|
Sets the execution/runner mode for interactive Hilbish. This determines whether
|
|
Hilbish wll try to run input as Lua and/or sh or only do one of either.
|
|
Accepted values for mode are hybrid (the default), hybridRev (sh first then Lua),
|
|
sh, and lua. It also accepts a function, to which if it is passed one
|
|
will call it to execute user input instead.
|
|
|
|
### timeout(cb, time)
|
|
Runs the `cb` function after `time` in milliseconds
|
|
Returns a `timer` object (see `doc timers`).
|
|
|
|
### which(name)
|
|
Checks if `name` is a valid command
|
