New Features
- What feature(s) did you add?
- I have added a more advanced shell to the fantasy console, that allows the user to chain commands.
It currently allows for running the new shell in a non-interactive mode. - Currently, it allows for the chaining of commands conditionally (&) or unconditionally (;).
- In conditional chaining the next command only runs if the last command exited successfully, and in unconditional chaining, the next command runs no matter what happened with the last.
- How did you implement it/them?
- I modified the general terminal code, to return the result of ran commands, allowing conditional chaining of commands.
- At first, it used code in the xshell program for parsing. Now, however, it organizes the code better through use of the built-in language parser to parse the input, and interpret it as a chain of commands separated by characters.
- This edit contains two new files, one contains the new language for the parsing system, and the other contains the main program for xhsell.
- The existing programs still need to be modified to return their error status, to further improve xshell's conditional chaining.
- A lot of the code that was used was already used in parts of LIKO-12
