Bash-Lib

Developed for a Bash Template (BaT)

Bash-Lib is a library of common Bash shell routines used in projects based on the A-Bash-Template (BaT) project. This library is broken into two files:

• general
  • Routines created to:
    • Check program dependencies
    • Check file dependencies
    • From a JSON configuration file, dynamically format and display a program banner, e.g.

|
| A bash template (BaT) to ease argument parsing and management
|
| Usage:
|   bash_template.sh -a alpha -b bravo [-c charlie] -d delta
|
|   -a, --alpha    alpha (something descriptive)
|   -b, --bravo    bravo (something descriptive)
|   -c, --charlie  charlie (this is optional)
|   -d, --delta    delta (something descriptive)
|

• args
  • Routines created to:
    • Parse a JSON file for program configuration details
    • Scan command-line arguments for accuracy and completeness

For details on how the various routines of this library project are used, see the A-Bash-Template (BaT) project.

Note that this project is managed as a Git submodule project specifically to keep projects that use this library up-to-date without manual intervention.
