Miscellaneous Posix related routines.

terminal-info

[procedure] (terminal-info [PORT]) --> alist

Returns alist of terminal properties for PORT.

: PORT ; output-port ; current-output-port

Known terminal properties:

: name ; string : width ; fixnum : height ; fixnum

get-terminal-size

[procedure] (get-terminal-size [PORT]) --> (or boolean (list fixnum fixnum))

Returns terminal size or #f when PORT is not a terminal-port.

: PORT ; output-port

get-terminal-name

[procedure] (get-terminal-name [PORT]) --> (or boolean string)

Returns terminal name or #f when PORT is not a terminal-port.

: PORT ; output-port

output-port-width

[procedure] (output-port-width PORT [DEF]) --> fixnum

Returns terminal width or DEF when PORT is not a terminal-port.

: PORT ; (or boolean output-port) ; current-output-port

output-port-height

[procedure] (output-port-height PORT [DEF]) --> fixnum

Returns terminal height or DEF when PORT is not a terminal-port.

: PORT ; (or boolean output-port)

string-trim-eol

[procedure] (string-trim-eol STR) -> string

Removes last instance of the platform dependent EOL character sequence from the string STR.

software-eol-string

[constant] software-eol-string

Platform dependent EOL character sequence string.

environment-string

[procedure] (environment-string CELL) -> string

Returns "VAR=VAL", where VAR is (car CELL) & VAL is (cdr CELL).

environment-variables->environment-list

[procedure] (environment-variables->environment-list EVS) -> (list-of string)

Returns a list of "VAR=VAL" from the environment variables association-list EVS.

qs*

[procedure] (qs* STR [DELIM #\"]) -> string

Result like (conc DELIM STR DELIM).

qs-quote

[procedure] (qs-quote OBJ) -> string

Returns "'OBJ'".

qs-string

[procedure] (qs-string OBJ) -> string

Returns ""OBJ"".

qs-argument

[procedure] (qs-argument OBJ [LITERAL? [DELIM #\"]]) -> string

Returns a quoted, quasiquoted, or evaluated shell argument string.

An OBJ is

'* (quote . *)
quoted * unless LITERAL?
`* (quasiquote . *)
quasiquoted * unless LITERAL?
*
evaluated

A shell quote is

quoted
' string '
quasiquoted
` ,* (unquote *) | ,@* (unquote-splicing *) | * (quote) `
evaluated
" string "

A quasiquoted OBJ is

,* (unquote *)
evaluated *
,@* (unquote-splicing *)
evaluated * #\space ...
* (quote)
quoted *

get-commandline-result

[procedure] (get-commandline-result CMND LINE) -> string

Returns the result of ''shell'' CMND LINE.

CMND is a string.

LINE is a string.

get-command-result

[procedure] (get-command-result CMND ARG ...) -> string

Returns the result of ''shell'' CMND ARG ....

CMND is a string.

ARG ... are string ... & processed by qs-argument.

get-echo-result

[procedure] (get-echo-result EXP) -> string

Returns the result of echo "EXP", w/o the echo eol.

EXP is a string.

environment-variable-bound?

[procedure] (environment-variable-bound? NAME) -> (or boolean string)

Does the environment variable NAME exist with a non-null value?

NAME is a string.

FOO=1 BAR= csi -q -R posix-utils
#;1> (environment-variable-bound? "FOO")
#t
#;2> (environment-variable-bound? "BAR")
#f

environment-variable-true?

[procedure] (environment-variable-true? NAME [TRUTHS ("y" "yes" "1")]) -> boolean

Is the environment variable NAME lowercase value in TRUTHS?

NAME is a string. TRUTHS is a (list-of string) recognized as true values.

FOO=1 BAR= csi -q -R posix-utils
#;1> (environment-variable-true? "FOO")
#t
#;2> (environment-variable-true? "BAR")
#f

register-environment-variable-feature!

[procedure] (register-environment-variable-feature! NAME) -> (or boolean symbol)

Registers an existing NAME value as a feature. Returns #f or the registered feature symbol.

NAME is a string.

get-shell-variable
