sg7

Like 007, but different

A set of Node.js tools and utilities for creating CLIs.

• zx
• Automatic / easy to include tty/pty.
• Automatic / easy to get results of running external command.
• ARGV
• CONFIG / XDG
• sg-file
• cli-shezargs reboot

ZX-like Magic

• But do not need to put no-more-no-less than each ARG in one ${} construct.
• Easy to use a non-async version (if possible)?

TTY / PTY

• Easy to make launched executable think it is on a TERM.

Get Results from Launched Executable

• Assumes launched executable was launched for a result on its STDOUT.
• But still easy if not.

ARGV

• Has command-line parsing utility.

CONFIG / XDG

• Read settings from config file(s).
• Config files in correct dirs (according to XDG_ ...)

SG-FILE

• Knows a lot about where things go on the file system
• Like what goes into /bin, /usr/bin, etc. vs. /etc and /var and /home

cli-shezargs Reboot

• MVP -- parsing args only
