Commands-collection

Build status:

A collection of system commands in Pascal, using FreePascal's library.

Can use in normal life, basic stuff. Or better say, this is mostly for education purposes.

This repository has these directories = commands:

• cat : Write file content
• dir : Show folder content
• calltime : Print the current system time & date
• getvar : Print variable (PATH, HOME, etc...)
• mkdir : Create a directory
• presskey : Pascal version of Windows's pause program
• printf : Write something to file (work but not good as excepted)
• pwd : Show the current directory
• rename : Rename file
• touch : Create file

echo and pwd are 2 simplest programs here.

Most programs here have -h and --help for their usage help.

Compiling

To compile a/any program, do:

cd <command name>
fpc <command name>.pas
# or
fpc <command name>/<command name>.pas
# with make
make <command name>

Some projects will ask you to pass -Fu<source code root>/include to fpc. To identify what project you can check Makefile, or the source code of the program where you can look for included units in the uses section.

Or clean before building anything:

* bash
$ do_clean=yes make <target>
* Windows
> make <target> do_clean=yes
* Or just do clean, let me do something else first
make clean

To build all programs:

make all

All outputs will be placed in build/ folder.

TODOs

• Use TCustomApplication class (not all programs will use this)
• [Probably I won't pass it lol] Learn more about OSes and yeah, my own system.pas etc (like a real OS being written in Pascal)
• Fix indentation (done)
• No crt (it can break outputs)
• And even create an installer? Cool btw
• Fix Makefile (completed)
