It is -a simple and readable C program that requires GNU readline. - -In other words, it's a REPL for command-line interfaces that always -require a "prefix" command. If you're tired of having to type `git` -everytime you want to issue a `git` command: - - $ git init - $ git add . - $ git status - $ git commit - $ git push - $ git status - -... then you can do this instead: - - $ repl git - git > init - git > add . - git > status - git > commit - git > push - git > status - -The program automatically prefixes each command with `git`, so that -you don't have to type it. - -### Installation - -The following commands install `repl` in `/usr/local/bin` and -`repl.1`, its man page, in `/usr/local/man`: - - $ make - $ make install - -If you want to install it somewhere different from `/usr/local`, -edit the Makefile and modify the `PREFIX` variable. - -To uninstall both binary and man page, run `make uninstall`. - -*** - -REPL(1) - General Commands Manual - -### NAME - -**repl** - create a REPL out of any command - -### SYNPOSIS - -**repl** -*command* - -### DESCRIPTION - -When invoked, the -**repl** -utility puts the user in a read-eval-print loop, in which it reads -input from the user, appends it to the -*command* -provided by the single argument, and lets the shell evaluate the -full string. - -Built on GNU readline, it supports history and Emacs key bindings. - -**repl** -is useful for command-line interfaces built on a -"prefix command" -that has to be typed over and over preceding the actual command, like -git(1). - -### EXAMPLES - - $ repl git - git > status - On branch master - Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. - git > - -### AUTHORS - -**repl** -is written by -John Ankarström, -available {on the web|by e-mail} at john{.|@}ankarstrom.se. - -OpenBSD 6.4 - January 10, 2019 |
