ShLibs

This is a collection of libraries to some bash sweetness in POSIX sh.

Usage is like importing in C:

# Include arrays
. shlibs_array

# Include hash
. shlibs_hash

# ... your code ...

They will export some functions in your current shell process.

Note that the implementation is done in a pure shell idiom, using lots of temporary files.

That should not be a real issue, as everything is located into a temporary directory created with mktemp -d, so it should therefore honor relevant environment variables. It should also be quite fast as the file involved are usually quite small.

shlibs_array

The functions are:

array_check()
array_create()
array_destroy()
array_len()
array_push()
array_pop()
array_idx()
array_values()

shlibs_hash

The functions are:

hash_check()
hash_create()
hash_destroy()
hash_len()
hash_set()
hash_get()
