README
Collection of simple tools for Unix systems which I realised for solving basic tasks.
midwife
--------
Midwife allows tracking all the new files and folders generated in a specific root directory (including all the sub-folders). It is useful to implement rudimentary sandboxes. To compile the programme it is necessary to have a recent version of g++ which implements the [filesystem library](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental/fs). Using g++ 7.0 it is possible to compile as follows:
```
g++-7 -std=c++1z -O3 midwife.cpp -lstdc++fs -o ./midwife
```
The executable takes the following parameters as input:
1. -d, --destination: the absolute path of the folder to track (default ./)
2. -s, sleep: define the time (in milliseconds) between calls (default 1000)
The output produced by midwife is a string which identifies the absolute path of a new file/folder which has been generated.
The output can be easily redirected in a log file:
```
midwife --destination /home/user/program --sleep 1000 >> log.txt
```
gregory
--------
Gregory is a python script based on the `datetime` module which can generate a list of dates taken from the standard [Gregorian calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar) based on user-defined criteria. The output can be redirected in a text file.
To **install** the module follow this procedure:
```
sudo cp gregory.py /usr/local/bin/gregory
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gregory
```
The **optional parameters** for gregory are summarised here:
```
-o PATH_OUTPUT, --output PATH_OUTPUT
path to an output file
-s START_DATE, --start START_DATE
start-date in format: DD/MM/YYYY
-e END_DATE, --end END_DATE
end-date in format: DD/MM/YYYY
-d DIVIDER_CHAR, --divide DIVIDER_CHAR
divide the date members using this character (default:
none)
-t, --twin if given allows the presence of duplicated dates in
case of single and double-format
-q, --quiet if given does not print any info on terminal. Useful
for pipelines.
-c, --capital if given sets the first letter of days (A) and months
(B) as capital
-C, --CAPITAL if given sets all the letters of days (A) and months
(B) as capital
-l LOCALE, --locale LOCALE
set the locale language, it is used to generate months
and days names
-f [FORMAT_LIST [FORMAT_LIST ...]], --format [FORMAT_LIST [FORMAT_LIST ...]]
list of formats to produce (default: all-formats). It
can be any combination of year-mont-day. Capital
letters identify the zero-padded spelling for days (D)
and months (M), and the four-letters notation for
years (Y). Lower-case letters identify non-zero-padded
notation for days (d) and months (m), and the two-
letters notation for years (y). Month can be
represented as full locale name (B) or abbreviated
name (b). The date 01/02/2003 can be represented as
follows: dmy=1203, DMY=01022003, dMY=1022003,
Ymd=200321, YMD=20030201, DBY=01February2003,
DbY=01Feb2003
```
Now some **examples** of usage. To print on terminal all the dates between a starting point (-s) 01/01/2001 and an ending point (-e) 05/01/2001 in format day/month:
```
gregory -q -s 01/01/2001 -e 05/01/2001 -f DM
```
```
0101
0201
0301
0401
```
To print on terminal all the dates between a starting point (-s) 01/01/2001 and yesterday in format day/month/year:
```
gregory -q -s 01/01/2001 -f DMY
```
```
01012001
02012001
03012001
...
02092017
```
To print the same range showing full-name for days and months:
```
gregory -q -s 01/01/2001 -f ABY
```
```
mondayjanuary2001
tuesdayjanuary2001
wednesdayjanuary2001
thursdayjanuary2001
...
saturdayseptember2017
```
Printing the same range with a separator (-d) and starting capital letter (-c) for days and months:
```
gregory -q -s 01/01/2001 -f ABY -d '/' -c
```
```
Monday/January/2001
Tuesday/January/2001
Wednesday/January/2001
...
Saturday/September/2017
```
To save the streaming on a file called `date.txt` and show statistics:
```
gregory -s 01/01/2001 -f ABY -o 'date.txt'
```
```
Start date .................. 01/01/2001
End date .................... 03/09/2017
Total days .................. 6089
Total lines worst case ...... 6089
Size worst case (bytes) ..... ~108993
Size worst case (MB) ..... ~0.11
