About

A general purpose command line interface. Mimics some bash and PowerShell functionality providing persitent history and advanced auto-complete feature activated with tab key.

Based on System.Console, requires cmd, PowerShell or similar to run.

Usage

Create an instance of CommandShell class. When started with the Start method it will work similarily to cmd. It's not very useful unless you add some custom commands to it.

The CommandShell provides Command event that is triggered each time the user press enter. As the event arguments you get the command entered parsed. Quoting is properly processed using cmd syntaxt.

You get separate command name and arguments passed.

The response output can be set by settings the event arguments.

You can also add manual entries for your custom commands. Just add entries to the instance's ManPages dictionary.

They will be shown when man commmand is issued without parameters.

The clas also provides auto-complete feature that can be highly custimized. It was inspired with Linux bash on ubuntu that shows suggestions and completions for some external programs.

By default it completes available commands and file names.

Just press tab to see available files and directories.
