Project description

Requirements

RHEL-like:

sudo dnf install readline-devel

Debian[12]:

sudo apt update; sudo apt install build-essential libreadline-dev make

Building from source

One-liner to shell for Debain-based distros:

sudo apt update; sudo apt install build-essential libreadline-dev make git && git clone https://git.stephenltoth.com/icaema/colorwrap.git && cd colorwrap && make && make run;

Run:

bin/cterm /bin/sh
# or
make run

# they do the same thing

Usage

make run

# or

make traces

As of right now there are only 7 hardcoded replacements (for color) in the src/main.c file. These are actually regex patterns.

// all are temporary
"^d"        //-> Magenta
"r--"       //-> Green
"rw-"       //-> Red
" .$"       //-> Blue
" ..$"      //-> Blue
"alpine"    //-> Magenta
"z9Da0Da1"  //-> Red

In the testing directory, there are some test files for doing ls -al and a long file for being long (with some keywords being sprinkled in).

Considerations and Caveats

Since this program buffers input by line, It will not handle TUI-based commands Examples include less and vim

If you need to use these kinds of applications, do not use this program to wrap your shell.

Installation

Normal build: make

Debug build: make debug

Run unit tests: make test
