Documentation for Irtza's Operating Environment

This page contains the documentation for the various programs in the IOE project.

This page contains a categorized list of the programs within IOE as well as a link to their documentation if such documentation exists. Some of the programs are directly documented on this page.

• deck2html: converts a flashcard deck file into an html table

• deck2rtf: converts a flashcard deck file into 2 rtf files that can be used for printing flashcards. It is meant to be used w/ a program that can print 6 pages per side such as Microsoft Word. The fact that this is a Linux program that needs the files to be sent over to Windows does reduce its use, but there are scripts available that will allow u to do multiple pages per side in Linux as well... Just don't know any off the top of my head.

• html2deck: will take an html file generated by deck2html that has not been further edited and convert it into a deck file

• importquestions:

• encrypt: reencodes a file provided to it using xor. This is just to keep prying eyes away from a file w/o the need for serious encryption. Works quickly and is easily hacked in case u need to get at your data.

• Mathematics

  • calc: integer calculator used in the same manner as calcf. It does not support exponents or logarithms

  • calcf

    • floating point calculator

    • Usage:
      bash% calcf 2.5*23+43*33.2 2+2 1.5*3 2^8
      1485.1 4 4.5 256

• Shell enhancements

  • fixedlen: prints a number with fixed width.
    usage: fixedlen <number> <digits>
    example: fixedlen 12 4
    the above example would print 0012

  • gccsh: allows user to create “C scripts”. Add the line #!/usr/loca/ioe/gccsh to the top of a C file and set it to be executable. It will then compile the file and keep a copy of the executable in a cache. Prior to each run it checks modification times of the executable and of the script file

  • enumerate: prints a series of fixed width numbers to the screen that can be prefixed and postfixed with a string
    usage: enumerate <start> <end> <padding> <prefix> <postfix>
    example: enumerate 22 27 3 vacation .jpg
    would display “vacation022.jpg vacation023.jpg vacation024.jpg vacation025.jpg vacation026.jpg vacation027.jpg”
    possible usage: rm `enumerate 22 27 3 vacation .jpg`
    the above line would selectively remove a range of pictures from a collection of vacation pics
