So I'm trying to pass certain json elements as env vars and use them later on in a script. Sample json: JSON='{ "Element1": "file-123456", "Element2": "Name, of, company written in, a very weird way", "Element3": "path/to/some/file.txt", }' (part of the) script: for s...

Cannot mimic the action of 'echo' with C

I realise this is not entirely a shell question because it involves the C language but it centers around a Bash script I have written. I have written a couple of bash script files that communicate via two serial ports. One script can be thought of as a receiver and the other as a transmitter....

Moderators, Please excuse if I am in the wrong section. I have a question that someone may know the answer to. We know that a current bash shell keeps a record of all commands in a buffer. When the shell is terminated this buffer is written out to ~/.bash_history for the user. I know...

NAME

       Ace::Graphics::Glyph::arrow - The "arrow" glyph

SYNOPSIS

	 See L<Ace::Graphics::Panel> and L<Ace::Graphics::Glyph>.

DESCRIPTION

       This glyph draws arrows.  Depending on options, the arrows can be labeled, be oriented vertically or horizontally, or can contain major and
       minor ticks suitable for use as a scale.

   OPTIONS
       In addition to the common options, the following glyph-specific options are recognized:

	 Option      Description	       Default
	 ------      -----------	       -------

	 -tick	     Whether to draw major	 0
		     and minor ticks.
		     0 = no ticks
		     1 = major ticks
		     2 = minor ticks

	 -parallel   Whether to draw the arrow	 true
		     parallel to the sequence
		     or perpendicular to it.

	 -northeast  Whether to draw the	 true
		     north or east arrowhead
		     (depending on orientation)

	 -southwest  Whether to draw the	 true
		     south or west arrowhead
		     (depending on orientation)

       Set -parallel to false to display a point-like feature such as a polymorphism, or to indicate an important location.  If the feature start
       == end, then the glyph will draw a single arrow at the designated location:

	      ^
	      |

       Otherwise, there will be two arrows at the start and end:

	      ^ 	     ^
	      | 	     |
