### Welcome to [Frobulator](https://frobulator.app)

Frobulator is a custom shell parser and scripting function library: Frobulate all the things!

Frobulator is easy to use and understand and is meant to help streamline your shell scripting projects while providing you with:

- Colorized prompts

- Line header markers for various message types

- Intractive counters and timers

- Interactive progress and process feedback

- Standardized 80 character line parsing

- Character limit overflow handling and line splitting with paragraph formatting

- Standardized user input prompts

- Standardized alphabetical input prompts

- Standardized numerical input prompts

- Streamlined file and directory commands

- POSIX-compliant/compatible

- BASH-centric scripting commands and functions:

   - Customized Debian-based system commands (i.e.: apt/apt-get package commands)

   - Streamlined package management functions that declutter your scripted setups for the most commonly used apt/aptitude commands

   - Dependency functions that simplify package requirements being fetched for all your scripting and project needs

   - Countdown and progress items to add to your scripts

   - Customizable password obfuscation prompts

   - Script checkpoint solutions to interate over only failed elements or modules

   - Streamlined archive detection and extraction routines

   - Clean ogging, redirection and silencing functions for pretty execution and informed debugging

**...all while making redundant and complex code bits a thing of the past!**

### Note:

The current set of assertions upon which Frobulator is built restricts its functionality to scripts exclusively, at least for the time being.
