# dpkgtable plugin for Nu shell

dpkg is the main low-level tool for managing packages in a GNU/Linux Debian system.

This a plugin for nushell that captures the output of dpkg --list (list of known packages) into a table.

    ~> dpkgtable | where name == "git"

    ╭───┬────────┬──────┬──────────────┬──────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

    │ # │ status │ name │   version    │ architecture │                     description                     │

    ├───┼────────┼──────┼──────────────┼──────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

    │ 0 │ ii     │ git  │ 1:2.39.2-1.1 │ amd64        │ fast, scalable, distributed revision control system │

    ╰───┴────────┴──────┴──────────────┴──────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

You can capture the oputput something like

    let packages = ( dpkgtable )

and then you can do something like

    $packages | where name =~ git

or

    dpkg --remove $packages.5.name

to remove the package #5 in the list (if running as root).

After building the plug-in (with cargo build), register it with nushell (from the nushell prompt) with

the register command. 

For instance:

    register ./nu_plugin_dpkg/target/debug/nu_plugin_dpkgtable
