Still writing and ironing out the default core display functions.
This includes reducing code that was written (at least) twice and could be 'combined' to a single function.

But mostly - as for optimizing code - I try to find a proper way around the the injection protection and 'bold' or colored strings that one might want to use/display.
At the very least so that the function title prints bold text.

The injection protection is not based on my skillset, however, I can read a case and some basic regex so I saw/knew that the console code for 'bold' causes an 'issue', which it did.

Next on my wish todolist is pick and cfg.set.
And I also need to finish bol2str in order to start with swarm.
I need to get the (basic, at least) swarm function done before the config editor - just so I can start scripting other things properly, and do 'external end-user' testing and so I can keep the code cleaner.
Also that will help to keep motivation up.

Current question...
However, for my current task at hand, the read wrappers, yesno, pick and input were, well - still are, based on the physicaly installed read I had to actualy parse the --help output of it to get its functionality to get them work poperly (for TUI).
Now for SWARM I'd like to reduce physical disk usage (files) to a minimum (for non-log actions; setting).

This and the recent Heureka that there's a builtin read, made me hope that the bash builtin read might have the same functions across all distros - as long the propper BASH version is installed, which would simplify the 'wrapping' process.... alot...


How to provide help?
Also the 'help' functionality of SWARM is slowly evolving in my head.
Main challenge here is that I want to distinct functions (for the help usage) between 'basics' and 'advanced', while keep most of it 'dynamic' to use - yet simple for translating.
Because I dont WANT to write actual help text for functions, because to get those, you would need to source SWARM and then call the function with --help, which seems 'too much' for me.

So I'd rather write/modify the (former) manpages and write a handler to work like:
Code:
./SWARM/runtime help [topic]

So you can 'stay' in your current project but still get the information you need.

That's for now, have a nice weekend and stay healthy everyone!

locale::script5.18

Locale::Script(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				       Locale::Script(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
