Building:

./build.sh

Will build cli executable in current directory

Creating bookmarks

• Bookmarks are simply terminal commands.
• Add them in commands.sh file (They will be hardcoded in executable at compile time)
• Words in comment line before command (in commands.sh) become search keywords in executable:

#linux list directories
ls

becomes:

linux list directories^ls

• Bookmarks support user input with default values. Bookmark such as du -hs <prompt:enter directory:.> will ask for input string which will replace "prompt" tag. If user enters no characters default value (in parentheses) will be used.

Example with . as default value:

$ ./cli
prepare comm: du -hs <prompt:enter directory:.>
enter directory (.): /tmp
executing: du -hs /tmp

54M     /tmp

Using program

Standard way:

./cli

Shortcut way

./cli ls

will execute first bookmark it finds with passed argument as a console command ls linux filesystem list files permissions^ls -lpah --color | awk '{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++)k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwx]/)*2:

ls -lpah --color | awk '{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++)k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwx]/)*2

Make it accessible from any directory by copying to your favourite bin directory

ln -s /currentdir/cli /usr/bin/yournewcli
