Piwi-Bash-Library
=================

An open source day-to-day bash library.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/piwi/bash-library.svg?branch=dev)](https://travis-ci.org/piwi/bash-library)

Key features:

- manage strings, files, integers and arrays easily
- build colorized contents with text effect, foreground and background colors
- execute sub-jobs with a large control upon outputs, errors and status
- build some scripts with command line options and arguments easily
- the library is well-documented and unit-tested

To begin, have a look at [the wiki](http://github.com/piwi/bash-library/wiki).

Installation
------------

Installing the *Piwi Bash Library* is as simple as making a copy of two files in your target
directory: the **library source itself** and **its Unix manual page**.

You can install the package in many ways explained in the [Global documentation](http://github.com/piwi/bash-library/wiki) ;
the best practice is to use **the internal interface** as it presents facilities to update the library.

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/piwi/bash-library/archive/master.tar.gz
tar -xvf master.tar.gz
cd piwi-bash-library-master
./bin/piwi-bash-library help

To read the library's manpage, run:

man man/piwi-bash-library.man

Usage
-----

To use the library in a bash script, just `source` it at the top of your code or before any
call of its methods or variables:

#!/bin/bash
source path/to/piwi-bash-library.bash
...

The full documentation of the library is available online at .

Demonstrations
--------------

A set of test and demonstration files is included in the `samples/` directory of the package.
These files are not required for a normal usage of the library.

To run one of these tests, just run:

cd path/to/downloaded/package/piwi-bash-library
./samples/file-test.sh

You can use the `--help` option to get help or info:

./samples/file-test.sh --help
