Hello, I've decided to post about some miscellaneous tools (C, sh, AWK) I made to ease my day to day computing/programming; some of them finally being in a shape I won't be embarrassed too much by.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/misc-tools │ │ │ │ * genhtab Generate static C99 hash tables │ │ * htmldecode HTML decoding to UTF-8 │ │ * htmlencode HTML encoding from UTF-8 │ │ * mbcut Multibyte aware string trimming │ │ * natsort Natural sorting for UTF-8 │ │ * urldecode URL decoding │ │ * urlencode URL encoding │ │ * wcswidth wcswidth(3) wrapper │ │ │ │ Note: for simplicity, Unicode handling is limited to code points, treating │ │ combining characters and emoji as a sequence of code points instead of a │ │ complete grapheme. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Most useful one would be natsort, due to the constant need for it and lack of alternatives baring scripting languages packages like Python (natsort), Perl (Sort::Naturally) or Tcl (lsort -dictionary, built-in). The other "interesting" one is genhtab, an alternative to gperf that is much simpler to use and produces smaller binaries for big tables (but slower, cf genhtab_bench) using a simple chained hashing table (with some tricks due to being built AOT) using fnv1a; I'll probably try with XXH3 soon, to see if the speed issue can be mitigated without too much binary bloating. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts │ │ │ │ Collection of sh, AWK scripts with an exhaustive description of dependencies │ │ and POSIX compliance; a few bash scripts too, when arrays are needed. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I'm sure everyone here has his script collection following his hacker life, so here's mine and here's the stuff that might interest people: * archive_*.sh Wrappers for common operations on archives. * bwrap.bash, bwrap_auto.bash Only Bash scripts of the repo, a much saner alternative to Firejail. * drop_priv.sh Nugget I found somewhere to avoid sudo/doas dependencies, but still limit privileged areas in scripts. * map.sh, filter.sh Anyone who programs a bit knows what these are. * hotplug_[u]mount.sh Since I don't want and udev automounting crap, these are what I use for the usual USB stick/drive. * mass_rename.sh, rename.sh (should find better names) Command and file component based renaming. Simple, but the dry run feature is really useful. * tabulate.sh Exactly what it says on the tin, a configurable AWK based table viewer. * web_man.sh (see .web_man.conf too) A man that fetches from the web to get the same page for different OSes. Used mainly to check the portability of certain tools/options. * util.sh My enormous collection of sh functions. I suggest you check these: https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L29 Pure sh fallback for readlink -f https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L406 Portable head -n# https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L413 Help text formatting use for all my script help messages. https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L479 Portable "rand" https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L591 Like atexit(3), allows the stacking trap '...' EXIT https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/scripts/tree/master/item/util.sh#L600 Portable and simple mktemp [-d] fallback, which is just a C program built built and aliased if needed And this one from another repo: https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/posix-build/tree/master/item/build_util.sh#L1300 Add a C preprocessor directive of the form `#embed_as_string "path" var` which creates a `static const char var[]` containing the content of path as a proper C string literal If that file isn't fully ASCII, it is then considered UTF-8 encoded and embedded via a C11 u8"..." string literal (TODO: automatic conversion if uchardet/iconv are available, C23/C++20 char8_t handling) And that's all. Hope it wasn't spam to you. If you too have some small potatoes stuff that doesn't warrant a project announcement but certainly make your life easier, don't hesitate to follow.
