+Dotfiles (Tom Ryder)
+====================
+
+This is my personal repository of configuration files and scripts for `$HOME`,
+including most of the settings that migrate well between machines.
+
+This repository began as a simple way to share Vim and tmux configuration, but
+over time a lot of scripts and shell configuration have been added, making it
+into a personal suite of custom Unix tools.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+ $ git clone https://sanctum.geek.nz/code/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
+ $ cd ~/.dotfiles
+ $ git submodule init
+ $ git submodule update
+ $ make
+ $ make -n install
+ $ make install
+
+For the default `all` target, you'll need a POSIX-fearing userland, including
+`make(1)` and `m4(1)`.
+
+The installation `Makefile` will overwrite things standing in the way of its
+installed files without backing them up, so read the output of `make -n
+install` before running `make install` to make sure you aren't going to lose
+anything unexpected. If you're still not sure, install it in a temporary
+directory so you can explore:
+
+ $ tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)
+ $ make install HOME="$tmpdir"
+ $ env -i HOME="$tmpdir" TERM="$TERM" "$SHELL" -l
+
+The default `install` target will install these targets and all their
+dependencies. Note that you don't actually have to have any of this except `sh`
+installed.
+
+* `install-bin`
+* `install-bin-man`
+* `install-curl`
+* `install-ex`
+* `install-git`
+* `install-gnupg`
+* `install-less`
+* `install-login-shell`
+* `install-readline`
+* `install-vim`
+
+The `install-login-shell` looks at your `SHELL` environment variable and tries
+to figure out which shell’s configuration files to install, falling back on
+`install-sh`.
+
+The remaining dotfiles can be installed with the other `install-*` targets. Try
+`awk -f bin/mftl.awk Makefile` in the project's root directory to see a list.
+
+Tools
+-----
+
+Configuration is included for:
+
+* Bourne-style POSIX shells, sharing a `.profile`, an `ENV` file, and
+ some helper functions:
+ * [GNU Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) (2.05a or higher)
+ * [Korn shell](http://www.kornshell.com/) (`ksh93`, `pdksh`, `mksh`)
+ * [Z shell](https://www.zsh.org/)
+* [Abook](http://abook.sourceforge.net/) -- curses address book program
+* [cURL](https://curl.haxx.se/) -- Command-line tool for transferring data
+ with URL syntax
+* [Dunst](http://knopwob.org/dunst/) -- A lightweight X11 notification daemon
+ that works with `libnotify`
+* `finger(1)` -- User information lookup program
+* [Git](https://git-scm.com/) -- Distributed version control system
+* [GnuPG](https://www.gnupg.org/) -- GNU Privacy Guard, for private
+ communication and file encryption
+* [GTK+](https://www.gtk.org/) -- GIMP Toolkit, for graphical user interface
+ elements
+* [i3](https://i3wm.org/) -- Tiling window manager
+* [less](https://www.gnu.org/software/less/) -- Terminal pager
+* [Mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) -- Terminal mail user agent
+* [`mysql(1)`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/mysql) -- Command-line MySQL client
+* [Ncmpcpp](https://rybczak.net/ncmpcpp/) -- ncurses music player client
+* [Newsbeuter](https://www.newsbeuter.org/) -- Terminal RSS/Atom feed reader
+* [`psql(1)`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/psql) -- Command-line PostgreSQL
+ client
+* [Perl::Critic](http://perlcritic.com/) -- static source code analysis
+ engine for Perl
+* [Perl::Tidy](http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/) -- Perl indenter and
+ reformatter
+* [Readline](https://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html) -- GNU
+ library for user input used by Bash, MySQL, and others
+* [rxvt-unicode](http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html) -- Fork of
+ the rxvt terminal emulator with Unicode support
+* [Subversion](https://subversion.apache.org/) -- Apache Subversion, a
+ version control system
+* [tmux](https://tmux.github.io/) -- Terminal multiplexer similar to GNU
+ Screen
+* [Vim](http://www.vim.org/) -- Vi IMproved, a text editor
+* [X11](https://www.x.org/wiki/) -- Windowing system with network
+ transparency for Unix
+
+The configurations for shells, GnuPG, Mutt, tmux, and Vim are the most
+expansive, and most likely to be of interest. The i3 configuration is mostly
+changed to make window switching behave like Vim windows and tmux panes do, and
+there's a fair few resources defined for rxvt-unicode.
+
+### Shell
+
+My `.profile` and other files in `sh` are written in POSIX shell script, so
+they should work in most `sh(1)` implementations. Individual scripts called by
+`.profile` are saved in `.profile.d` and iterated on login for ease of
+management. Most of these boil down to exporting variables appropriate to the
+system and the software it has available.
+
+Configuration that should be sourced for all POSIX-fearing interactive shells
+is kept in `~/.shrc`, with subscripts read from `~/.shrc.d`. There's a shim in
+`~/.shinit` to act as `ENV`. I make an effort to target POSIX for my functions
+and scripts where I can so that the same files can be loaded for all shells.
+
+On GNU/Linux I use Bash, on BSD I use some variant of Korn Shell, preferably
+`ksh93` if it's available.
+
+As I occasionally have work on very old internal systems, my Bash is written to
+work with [any version 2.05a or
+newer](http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/bashchanges). This is why I use
+older syntax for certain things such as appending items to arrays:
+
+ array[${#array[@]}]=$item
+
+Compare this to the much nicer syntax available since 3.1-alpha1, which
+actually works for arrays with sparse indices, unlike the above syntax:
+
+ array+=("$item")
+
+Where I do use features that are only available in versions of Bash newer than
+2.05a, such as newer `shopt` options or `PROMPT_DIRTRIM`, they are only run
+after testing `BASH_VERSINFO` appropriately.
+
+#### Prompt
+
+A terminal session with my prompt looks something like this:
+
+ ~$ ssh remote
+ remote:~$ cd .dotfiles
+ remote:~/.dotfiles(master+!)$ git status
+ M README.md
+ M bash/bashrc.d/prompt.bash
+ A init
+ remote:~/.dotfiles(master+!)$ foobar
+ foobar: command not found
+ remote:~/.dotfiles(master+!)<127>$ sleep 5 &
+ [1] 28937
+ remote:~/.dotfiles(master+!){1}$
+
+The hostname is elided if not connected via SSH. The working directory with
+tilde abbreviation for `$HOME` is always shown. The rest of the prompt expands
+based on context to include these elements in this order:
+
+* Whether in a Git repository if applicable, and punctuation to show
+ repository status including reference to upstreams at a glance. Subversion
+ support can also be enabled (I need it at work), in which case a `git:` or
+ `svn:` prefix is added appropriately.
+* The number of running background jobs, if non-zero.
+* The exit status of the last command, if non-zero.
+
+You can set `PROMPT_COLOR`, `PROMPT_PREFIX`, and `PROMPT_SUFFIX` too, which all
+do about what you'd expect.
+
+If you start up Bash, Ksh, or Zsh and it detects that it's not normally your
+`$SHELL`, the prompt will display an appropriate prefix.
+
+This is all managed within the `prompt` function. There's some mildly hacky
+logic on `tput` codes included such that it should work correctly for most
+common terminals using both `termcap(5)` and `terminfo(5)`, including \*BSD
+systems. It's also designed to degrade gracefully for eight-color and no-color
+terminals.
+
+#### Functions
+
+If a function can be written in POSIX `sh` without too much hackery, I put it
+in `sh/shrc.d` to be loaded by any POSIX interactive shell. Those include:
+
+* Four functions for using a "marked" directory, which I find a more
+ manageable concept than the `pushd`/`popd` directory stack:
+ * `md()` marks a given (or the current) directory.
+ * `gd()` goes to the marked directory.
+ * `pmd()` prints the marked directory.
+ * `xd()` swaps the current and marked directories.
+* Ten other directory management and navigation functions:
+ * `bd()` changes into a named ancestor of the current directory.
+ * `gt()` changes into a directory or into a file's directory.
+ * `lgt()` runs `gt()` on the first result from a `loc(1df)` search.
+ * `mkcd()` creates a directory and changes into it.
+ * `pd()` changes to the argument's parent directory.
+ * `rd()` replaces the first instance of its first argument with its
+ second argument in `$PWD`, emulating a feature of the Zsh `cd` builtin
+ that I like.
+ * `scr()` creates a temporary directory and changes into it.
+ * `sd()` changes into a sibling of the current directory.
+ * `ud()` changes into an indexed ancestor of a directory.
+ * `vr()` tries to change to the root directory of a source control
+ repository.
+* `bc()` silences startup messages from GNU `bc(1)`.
+* `ed()` tries to get verbose error messages, a prompt, and a Readline
+ environment for `ed(1)`.
+* `gdb()` silences startup messages from `gdb(1)`.
+* `gpg()` quietens `gpg(1)` down for most commands.
+* `grep()` tries to apply color and other options good for interactive use if
+ available.
+* `hgrep()` allows searching `$HISTFILE`.
+* `keychain()` keeps `$GPG_TTY` up to date if a GnuPG agent is available.
+* `ls()` tries to apply color and other options good for interactive use if
+ available.
+ * `la()` runs `ls -A` if it can, or `ls -a` otherwise.
+ * `ll()` runs `ls -Al` if it can, or `ls -al` otherwise.
+* `path()` manages the contents of `PATH` conveniently.
+* `scp()` tries to detect forgotten hostnames in `scp(1)` command calls.
+* `sudo()` forces `-H` for `sudo(8)` calls so that `$HOME` is never
+ preserved; I hate having `root`-owned files in my home directory.
+* `tree()` colorizes GNU `tree(1)` output if possible (without having
+ `LS_COLORS` set).
+* `x()` is a one-key shortcut for `exec startx`.
+
+There are a few other little tricks defined for other shells providing
+non-POSIX features, as compatibility allows:
+
+* `keep()` stores ad-hoc shell functions and variables (Bash, Korn Shell 93,
+ Z shell).
+* `prompt()` sets up my interactive prompt (Bash, Korn Shell, Z shell).
+* `pushd()` adds a default destination of `$HOME` to the `pushd` builtin
+ (Bash).
+* `vared()` allows interactively editing a variable with Readline, emulating
+ a Zsh function I like by the same name (Bash).
+* `ver()` prints the current shell's version information (Bash, Korn Shell,
+ Z shell).
+
+#### Completion
+
+I find the `bash-completion` package a bit too heavy for my tastes, and turn it
+off using a stub file installed in `~/.config/bash_completion`. The majority of
+the time I just want to complete paths anyway, and this makes for a quicker
+startup without a lot of junk functions in my Bash namespace.
+
+I do make some exceptions with completions defined in `.bash_completion.d`
+files, for things I really do get tired of typing repeatedly:
+
+* Bash builtins: commands, help topics, shell options, variables, etc.
+* `find(1)`'s more portable options
+* `ftp(1)` hostnames from `~/.netrc`
+* `git(1)` subcommands, remotes, branches, tags, and addable files
+* `gpg(1)` long options
+* `make(1)` targets read from a `Makefile`
+* `man(1)` page titles
+* `pass(1)` entries
+* `ssh(1)` hostnames from `~/.ssh/config`
+
+For commands that pretty much always want to operate on text, such as text file
+or stream editors, I exclude special file types and extensions I know are
+binary. I don't actually read the file, so this is more of a heuristic thing,
+and sometimes it will get things wrong.
+
+I also add completions for my own scripts and functions where useful. The
+completions are dynamically loaded if Bash is version 4.0 or greater.
+Otherwise, they're all loaded on startup.
+
+#### Korn shell
+
+These are experimental; they are mostly used to tinker with MirBSD `mksh`, AT&T
+`ksh93`, and OpenBSD `pdksh`. All shells in this family default to a yellow
+prompt if detected.
+
+#### Zsh
+
+These are experimental; I do not like Zsh much at the moment. The files started
+as a joke (`exec bash`). `zsh` shells default to having a prompt coloured cyan.
+
+### GnuPG
+
+The configuration for GnuPG is intended to follow [RiseUp's OpenPGP best
+practices](https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices).
+The configuration file is rebuilt using `mi5(1df)` and `make(1)` because it
+requires hard-coding a path to the SKS keyserver certificate authority, and
+neither tilde nor `$HOME` expansion works for this.
+
+### Mutt
+
+My mail is kept in individual Maildirs under `~/Mail`, with `inbox` being where
+most unfiltered mail is sent. I use
+[Getmail](http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/),
+[maildrop](https://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/), and
+[MSMTP](http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/); the configurations for these are not
+included here. I sign whenever I have some indication that the recipient might
+be using a PGP implementation, and I encrypt whenever I have a public key
+available for them. The GnuPG and S/MIME interfacing is done with
+[GPGme](https://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/), rather than defining
+commands for each crypto operation. I wrote [an article about this
+setup](https://sanctum.geek.nz/arabesque/linux-crypto-email/) if it sounds
+appealing.
+
+You'll need [Abook](http://abook.sourceforge.net/) installed if you want to use
+the `query_command` I have defined, and [msmtp](http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/)
+for the `sendmail` command.
+
+### rxvt-unicode
+
+I've butchered the URxvt Perl extensions `selection-to-clipboard` and
+`selection` into a single `select` extension in `~/.urxvt/ext`, which is the
+only extension I define in `~/.Xresources`.
+
+The included `.Xresources` file assumes that `urxvt` can use 256 colors and
+Perl extensions. If you're missing functionality, try changing
+`perl-ext-common` to `default`.
+
+My choice of font is [Ubuntu Mono](http://font.ubuntu.com/), but the file
+should allow falling back to the more common [Deja Vu Sans
+Mono](https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/). I've found
+[Terminus](http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/) works well too, but bitmap
+fonts are not really my cup of tea. The Lohit Kannada font bit is purely to
+make ಠ\_ಠ work correctly. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) seems to work out of the box.
+
+### tmux
+
+These are just generally vi-friendly settings, not much out of the ordinary.
+Note that the configuration presently uses a hard-coded 256-color colorscheme,
+and uses non-login shells, with an attempt to control the environment to stop
+shells thinking they have access to an X display.
+
+The shell scripts in `bin` include `tm(1df)`, a shortcut to make `attach` into
+the default command if no arguments are given and sessions do already exist. My
+`~/.inputrc` file binds Alt+M to run that, and Tmux in turn binds the same key
+combination to detach.
+
+### Vim
+
+The majority of the `.vimrc` file is just setting options, with a few mappings.
+I try not to deviate too much from the Vim defaults behaviour in terms of
+interactive behavior and keybindings.
+
+The configuration is extensively commented, mostly because I was reading
+through it one day and realised I'd forgotten what half of it did. Plugins are
+loaded using @tpope's [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen).
+
+Scripts
+-------
+
+Where practical, I make short scripts into POSIX (but not Bourne) `sh(1)`,
+`awk(1)`, or `sed(1)` scripts in `~/.local/bin`. I try to use shell functions
+only when I actually need to, which tends to be when I need to tinker with the
+namespace of the user's current shell.
+
+Installed by the `install-bin` target:
+
+* Three SSH-related scripts:
+ * `sls(1df)` prints hostnames read from a `ssh_config(5)` file. It uses
+ `slsf(1df)` to read each one.
+ * `sra(1df)` runs a command on multiple hosts read from `sls(1df)` and
+ prints output.
+ * `sta(1df)` runs a command on multiple hosts read from `sls(1df)` and
+ prints the hostname if the command returns zero.
+* Five URL-related shortcut scripts:
+ * `hurl(1df)` extracts values of `href` attributes of `<a>` tags, sorts
+ them uniquely, and writes them to `stdout`; it requires
+ [pup](https://github.com/ericchiang/pup).
+ * `murl(1df)` converts Markdown documents to HTML with `pandoc(1)` and
+ runs the output through `hurl(1df)`.
+ * `urlc(1df)` accepts a list of URLs on `stdin` and writes error messages
+ to `stderr` if any of the URLs are broken, redirecting, or are insecure
+ and have working secure versions; requires `curl(1)`.
+ * `urlh(1df)` prints the values for a given HTTP header from a HEAD
+ response.
+ * `urlmt(1df)` prints the MIME type from the `Content-Type` header as
+ retrieved by `urlh(1df)`.
+* Three RFC-related shortcut scripts:
+ * `rfcf(1df)` fetches ASCII RFCs from the IETF website.
+ * `rfct(1df)` formats ASCII RFCs.
+ * `rfcr(1df)` does both, displaying in a pager if appropriate, like a
+ `man(1)` reader for RFCs.
+* Five toy random-number scripts (not for sensitive/dead-serious use):
+ * `rndi(1df)` gets a random integer within two bounds.
+ * `rnds(1df)` attempts to get an optional random seed for `rndi(1df)`.
+ * `rnda(1df)` uses `rndi(1df)` to choose a random argument.
+ * `rndf(1df)` uses `rnda(1df)` to choose a random file from a directory.
+ * `rndl(1df)` uses `rndi(1df)` to choose a random line from files.
+* Four file formatting scripts:
+ * `d2u(1df)` converts DOS line endings in files to UNIX ones.
+ * `u2d(1df)` converts UNIX line endings in files to DOS ones.
+ * `stbl(1df)` strips a trailing blank line from the files in its
+ arguments.
+ * `stws(1df)` strips trailing spaces from the ends of lines of the files
+ in its arguments.
+* Seven stream formatting scripts:
+ * `sd2u(1df)` converts DOS line endings in streams to UNIX ones.
+ * `su2d(1df)` converts UNIX line endings in streams to DOS ones.
+ * `slow(1df)` converts uppercase to lowercase.
+ * `supp(1df)` converts lowercase to uppercase.
+ * `tl(1df)` tags input lines with a prefix or suffix, basically a
+ `sed(1)` shortcut.
+ * `tlcs(1df)` executes a command and uses `tl(1df)` to tag stdout and
+ stderr lines, and color them if you want.
+ * `unf(1df)` joins lines with leading spaces to the previous line.
+ Intended for unfolding HTTP headers, but it should work for most RFC
+ 822 formats.
+* Six simple aggregators for numbers:
+ * `max(1df)` prints the maximum.
+ * `mean(1df)` prints the mean.
+ * `med(1df)` prints the median.
+ * `min(1df)` prints the minimum.
+ * `mode(1df)` prints the first encountered mode.
+ * `tot(1df)` totals the set.
+* Three quick-and-dirty HTML tools:
+ * `htenc(1df)` encodes.
+ * `htdec(1df)` decodes.
+ * `htrec(1df)` wraps `a` tags around URLs.
+* Two internet message quoting tools:
+ * `quo(1df)` indents with quoting right angle-brackets.
+ * `wro(1df)` adds a quote attribution header to its input.
+* Six Git-related tools:
+ * `fgscr(1df)` finds Git repositories in a directory root and scrubs them
+ with `gscr(1df)`.
+ * `grc(1df)` quietly tests whether the given directory appears to be a
+ Git repository with pending changes.
+ * `gscr(1df)` scrubs Git repositories.
+ * `isgr(1df)` quietly tests whether the given directory appears to be a
+ Git repository.
+ * `jfc(1df)` adds and commits lazily to a Git repository.
+ * `jfcd(1df)` watches a directory for changes and runs `jfc(1df)` if it
+ sees any.
+* Two time duration functions:
+ * `hms(1df)` converts seconds to `hh:mm:ss` or `mm:ss` timestamps.
+ * `sec(1df)` converts `hh:mm:ss` or `mm:ss` timestamps to seconds.
+* Three pipe interaction tools:
+ * `pst(1df)` runs an interactive program on data before passing it along
+ a pipeline.
+ * `ped(1df)` runs `pst(1df)` with `$EDITOR` or `ed(1)`.
+ * `pvi(1df)` runs `pvi(1df)` with `$VISUAL` or `vi(1)`.
+* `ap(1df)` reads arguments for a given command from the standard input,
+ prompting if appropriate.
+* `apf(1df)` prepends arguments to a command with ones read from a file,
+ intended as a framework for shell wrappers or functions.
+* `ax(1df)` evaluates an awk expression given on the command line; this is
+ intended as a quick way to test how Awk would interpret a given expression.
+* `bcq(1df)` runs `bc(1)`, quieting it down if need be.
+* `bel(1df)` prints a terminal bell character.
+* `bl(1df)` generates a given number of blank lines.
+* `bp(1df)` runs `br(1df)` after prompting for an URL.
+* `br(1df)` launches `$BROWSER`.
+* `ca(1df)` prints a count of its given arguments.
+* `cf(1df)` prints a count of entries in a given directory.
+* `cfr(1df)` does the same as `cf(1df)`, but recurses into subdirectories as
+ well.
+* `chc(1df)` caches the output of a command.
+* `chn(1df)` runs a filter over its input a given number of times.
+* `clog(1df)` is a tiny timestamped log system.
+* `clrd(1df)` sets up a per-line file read, clearing the screen first.
+* `clwr(1df)` sets up a per-line file write, clearing the screen before each
+ line.
+* `csmw(1df)` prints an English list of monospace-quoted words read from the
+ input.
+* `dam(1df)` buffers all its input before emitting it as output.
+* `ddup(1df)` removes duplicate lines from unsorted input.
+* `dmp(1df)` copies a pass(1) entry selected by `dmenu(1)` to the X
+ CLIPBOARD.
+* `dub(1df)` lists the biggest entries in a directory.
+* `edda(1df)` provides a means to run `ed(1)` over a set of files preserving
+ any options, mostly useful for scripts.
+* `eds(1df)` edits executable script files in `EDSPATH`, defaulting to
+ `~/.local/bin`, for personal scripting snippets.
+* `exm(1df)` works around a screen-clearing quirk of Vim's `ex` mode.
+* `finc(1df)` counts the number of results returned from a set of given
+ `find(1)` conditions.
+* `fnl(1df)` runs a command and saves its output and error into temporary
+ files, printing their paths and line counts.
+* `fnp(1df)` prints the given files to stdout, each with a plaintext heading
+ with the filename in it.
+* `gms(1df)` runs a set of `getmailrc` files; does much the same thing as the
+ script `getmails` in the `getmail` suite, but runs the requests in parallel
+ and does up to three silent retries using `try(1df)`.
+* `grec(1df)` is a more logically-named `grep -c`.
+* `gred(1df)` is a more logically-named `grep -v`.
+* `gwp(1df)` searches for alphanumeric words in a similar way to `grep(1)`.
+* `han(1df)` provides a `keywordprg` for Vim's Bash script filetype that will
+ look for `help` topics. You could use it from the shell too.
+* `igex(1df)` wraps around a command to allow you to ignore error conditions
+ that don't actually worry you, exiting with 0 anyway.
+* `ix(1df)` posts its input to the ix.io pastebin.
+* `jfp(1df)` prints its input, excluding any shebang on the first line only.
+* `loc(1df)` is a quick-search wrapped around `find(1)`.
+* `maybe(1df)` is like `true(1)` or `false(1)`; given a probability of
+ success,
+ it exits with success or failure. Good for quick tests.
+* `mex(1df)` makes given filenames in `$PATH` executable.
+* `mi5(1df)` pre-processes a crude but less painful macro expansion file
+ format into `m4` input.
+* `mftl(1df)` finds usable-looking targets in Makefiles.
+* `mkcp(1df)` creates a directory and copies preceding arguments into it.
+* `mkmv(1df)` creates a directory and moves preceding arguments into it.
+* `motd(1df)` shows the system MOTD.
+* `mw(1df)` prints alphabetic space-delimited words from the input one per
+ line.
+* `oii(1df)` runs a command on input only if there is any.
+* `onl(1df)` crunches input down to one printable line.
+* `osc(1df)` implements a `netcat(1)`-like wrapper for `openssl(1)`'s
+ `s_client` subcommand.
+* `p(1df)` prints concatenated standard input; `cat(1)` as it should always
+ have been.
+* `pa(1df)` prints its arguments, one per line.
+* `pp(1df)` prints the full path of each argument using `$PWD`.
+* `pph(1df)` runs `pp(1df)` and includes a leading `$HOSTNAME:`.
+* `paz(1df)` print its arguments terminated by NULL chars.
+* `pit(1df)` runs its input through a pager if its standard output looks like
+ a terminal.
+* `plmu(1df)` retrieves a list of installed modules from
+ [`plenv`](https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv), filters out any modules in
+ `~/.plenv/non-cpan-modules`, and updates them all.
+* `pwg(1df)` generates just one decent password with `pwgen(1)`.
+* `rep(1df)` repeats a command a given number of times.
+* `rgl(1df)` is a very crude interactive `grep(1)` loop.
+* `shb(1df)` attempts to build shebang lines for scripts from the system
+ paths.
+* `sqs(1df)` chops off query strings from filenames, usually downloads.
+* `sshi(1df)` prints human-readable SSH connection details.
+* `stex(1df)` strips extensions from filenames.
+* `sue(8df)` execs `sudoedit(8)` as the owner of all the file arguments given,
+ perhaps in cases where you may not necessarily have `root` `sudo(8)`
+ privileges.
+* `swr(1df)` allows you to run commands locally specifying remote files in
+ `scp(1)`'s HOST:PATH format.
+* `td(1df)` manages a to-do file for you with `$EDITOR` and `git(1)`; I used
+ to use Taskwarrior, but found it too complex and buggy.
+* `tm(1df)` runs `tmux(1)` with `attach-session -d` if a session exists, and
+ `new-session` if it doesn't.
+* `trs(1df)` replaces strings (not regular expression) in its input.
+* `try(1df)` repeats a command up to a given number of times until it
+ succeeds, only printing error output if all three attempts failed. Good for
+ tolerating blips or temporary failures in `cron(8)` scripts.
+* `umake(1df)` iterates upwards through the directory tree from `$PWD` until
+ it finds a Makefile for which to run `make(1)` with the given arguments.
+* `uts(1df)` gets the current UNIX timestamp in an unorthodox way that should
+ work on all POSIX-compliant operating systems.
+* `vest(1df)` runs `test(1)` but fails with explicit output via `vex(1df)`.
+* `vex(1df)` runs a command and prints `true` or `false` explicitly to
+ `stdout` based on the exit value.
+* `xrbg(1df)` applies the same randomly-selected background to each X screen.
+* `xrq(1df)` gets the values of specific resources out of `xrdb -query`
+ output.
+
+There's some silly stuff in `install-games`:
+
+* `aaf(6df)` gets a random [ASCII Art Farts](http://www.asciiartfarts.com/)
+ comic.
+* `acq(6df)` allows you to interrogate AC, the interplanetary computer.
+* `aesth(6df)` converts English letters to their fullwidth CJK analogues, for
+ AESTHETIC PURPOSES.
+* `squ(6df)` makes a reduced Latin square out of each line of input.
+* `kvlt(6df)` translates input to emulate a style of typing unique to black
+ metal communities on the internet.
+* `philsay(6df)` shows a picture to accompany `pks(6df)` output.
+* `pks(6df)` laughs at a randomly selected word.
+* `rndn(6df)` implements an esoteric random number generation algorithm.
+* `strik(6df)` outputs s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ struck out text.
+* `rot13(6df)` rotates the Latin letters in its input.
+* `xyzzy(6df)` teleports to a marked location on the filesystem.
+* `zs(6df)` prepends "z" case-appropriately to every occurrence of "s" in the
+ text on its standard input.
+
+Manuals
+-------
+
+The `install-bin` and `install-games` targets install manuals for each script
+they install. If you want to use the manuals, you may need to add
+`~/.local/share/man` to your `~/.manpath` or `/etc/manpath` configuration,
+depending on your system.
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+You can check that both sets of shell scripts are syntactically correct with
+`make check-bash`, `make check-sh`, or `make check` for everything including
+the scripts in `bin` and `games`. There's no proper test suite for the actual
+functionality (yet).
+
+If you have [ShellCheck](https://www.shellcheck.net/) and/or
+[Perl::Critic](http://perlcritic.com/), there's a `lint` target for the shell
+script files and Perl files respectively. The files don't need to pass that
+check to be installed.
