Cli-love

(This page is maintained by user:spiralofhope.)

Introduction

cli-love is a PND application bundle with various commandline programs.

The purpose of this wiki page is to list the applications, briefly describe them and give links to the developer website for more details.

This list is much easier to use than checking for help/info/man pages - which may not even exist - and hoping they have the developer website listed.. somewhere.

Only when there is no developer website, or their website is missing information, or we need Pandora-specific information, will anything extra be created on this wiki.

• There will be no attempts to categorize this list.
• No opinions, reviews or rankings will be given.
• No support will be given.
• This list is kept simple for easy maintenance.

Wouldn't it be awesome if every application:

• .. had screenshots?
• .. had a detailed review?
• .. had a tutorial?
  • .. for each common use?
• .. had a video or two?
• .. was checked regularly for updates?
  • .. and an updated cli-love is created right away?

.. sure. But by what magic can that be done? This is a maintenance effort larger than anything I could imagine. — spiralofhope / ^(talk)

Installation, Running, Basic Use

cli-love is not installed, but is run like any other PND.

From the commandline, it can be run with:

 pnd_run ./FILENAME.pnd

(Where FILENAME is the appropriate name for the PND you downloaded.)

The terminal (Stjterm) can then be shown with Control-Escape. This is Control-Fn-Q, or RightShoulder-Fn-Q.

• Shift-Control-t opens a new tab.
• exit or Control-d will close a tab at the commandline.
  • If an application is running, RightClick > Quit will force a tab to close.
• Shift-Control-PageUp and Shift-Control-PageDown will view the previous/next tab.
• Shift-PageUp and Shift-PageDown to scroll up/down.
• man is installed, and help is another command. (TODO - elaborate)

The List

• /raw list
• /working list

• The Snap Links Plus extension will let Firefox users easily open multiple links on a page.
• [ command ] won't always be exact.
  • For example, mkfs is listed once and its variations are not (mkfs.ext2, etc).

From within CLI Love:

• apps lists the complete application list.
  • An easy way to get that list into something you can copy-paste, is to run apps in one tab, then Shift-Control-t to open a new tab, and run cat ~/bin/apps.tmp | leafpad

• newapps lists the most recent 20 apps.
  • newapps (n) lists the most recent n apps.

• man (command) will show an application's man page.
  • Not all applications have a man page. (FIXME)

• helpme (command)

• howto lists How-To Recipes.

• which (command) will give you the full path, or reveal if the command is an alias or shell function.

• TODO: info? help? other? FIXME: There is indeed a big textfile that's included, with brief descriptions for .. every command? todo: investigate..
