Classic.sh

A library of helper files for simplifying every-day tasks in shell scripts. Each file is focused on categories of common tasks, and can be included as needed.

File List

Files found in Classic.sh include:

• platform_processes.sh -- Provides platform-focused tasks, such as seeing if the user can sudo, or determining which GNU/Linux OS is being run.

How to Use These Functions

Simple Function

All functions can be called as normal using their name:

function_name;

Function with Parameter

Functions that have parameters must be passed those parameters, like so:

function_name $argument_for_parameter_1;

Function with Return Parameter

Functions that have a return parameter (a parameter for getting, or returning, a value back out of the function) must be passed the name of an undefined or empty variable, so that the function can define it, like so:

empty_variable='';

function_name empty_variable;

or

function_name new_undefined_variable;

Improvements

If you have any suggestions for new functionality which could reduce code duplication across many different kinds of projects, please create a new issue.
