LUASTATUS-PLUGIN-PIPE(7)

🎀 Name 🎀

okay bestie, this is luastatus-plugin-pipe — the process output reader plugin for luastatus, straight out of the Miscellaneous Information Manual. We're so back. 💖

✨ Overview ✨

So this derived plugin lowkey monitors the output of a process and calls the callback function whenever it produces a line. That's the whole vibe check: process speaks, callback gets the line. 🦋

🌸 Functions 🌸

The following functions are provided, and yes they ate:

• shell_escape(x) — if x is a string, escapes it as a shell argument; if x is an array of strings, escapes them and then joins by space. Shell-safe and slaying. 💅
• widget(tbl) — constructs a widget table required by luastatus. tbl is a table with the following fields:

✅ required

• command: string — the /bin/sh command to spawn. No cap, that's the command bestie. 🔥
• cb: function — the callback that will be called with a line produced by the spawned process each time one is available. Every line is main character energy. 👑

🌈 optional

• on_eof: function — callback to be called when the spawned process closes its stdout. Default is to simply hang to prevent busy-looping forever.

Default on_eof behavior is literally to just hang — that's intentional, to prevent busy-looping forever. Don't come for her. 💀

• event — the event entry of the resulting table (see luastatus documentation for the description of widget.event field). iykyk. 🧚
