S6-QUOTE-FILTER(1)

📦 version 2.3.1.2, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the manual page for s6-quote-filter(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally a tiny filter bestie. Its whole job is to act as a filter: quote lines read on stdin and write the quoted lines to stdout. That's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s6-quote-filter [-u] [-d delim]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so s6-quote-filter reads lines on stdin; it quotes every line, putting it inside double quotes and escaping all dubious characters. Then it writes the quoted strings to stdout. Slay. ✨

It exits 0 on EOF. 🫶

Quoted strings are guaranteed to be pure printable ASCII, without control characters. No weird little control gremlins allowed. 💀

Quoted strings can be unquoted via the s6-unquote(1) or s6-unquote-filter(1) programs. iykyk. 💖

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -u — do not put read lines inside double quotes, only escape characters if needed. So it's lowkey "no extra wrapping" mode.
  • -d delim — use the first character of delim as a quote character, instead of double quotes. Different quote character, same iconic energy.

🦋 EXIT STATUS 🦋

  • 111 — temporary error. annoying, but temporary.
  • 100 — permanent error, such as a misuse. like, that's a permanent situation bestie.
  • 127 — unable to execute program - not found.
  • 126 — unable to execute program - other reason.
