## Requirements
Requirements
RHEL-like:
```sh
sudo dnf install readline-devel
```
Debian[12]:
```sh
sudo apt update; sudo apt install build-essential libreadline-dev make
```
## Building from source
One-liner to shell for Debain-based distros:
```sh
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 test;
```
Run:
```sh
bin/cterm /bin/sh
# or
make test
# they do the same thing
```
## Usage
```sh
make test
# or
make traces
```
As of right now there are only 7 hardcoded replacements (for color) in the src/main.c file
Listed here:
```c
// all are temporary
"^d" //-> Magenta
"r--" //-> Green
"rw-" //-> Red
" .$" //-> Blue
" ..$" //-> Blue
"alpine" //-> Magenta
"z9Da0Da1" //-> Red
```
~~I know its not regex matching yet, just go with it~~
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`
