# Shell implements an idiomatic Ruby interface for common UNIX shell commands.
# It provides users the ability to execute commands with filters and pipes,
# like +sh+/+csh+ by using native facilities of Ruby.
# In this example we will create three +tmpFile+'s in three different folders
# under the +/tmp+ directory.
# sh = Shell.cd("/tmp") # Change to the /tmp directory
# sh.mkdir "shell-test-1" unless sh.exists?("shell-test-1")
# # make the 'shell-test-1' directory if it doesn't already exist
# sh.cd("shell-test-1") # Change to the /tmp/shell-test-1 directory
# for dir in ["dir1", "dir3", "dir5"]
# sh.mkdir dir # make dir if it doesn't already exist
# # change to the `dir` directory
# f = sh.open("tmpFile", "w") # open a new file in write mode
# f.print "TEST\n" # write to the file
# f.close # close the file handler
# print sh.pwd # output the process working directory
# === Temp file creation with self
# This example is identical to the first, except we're using
# CommandProcessor#transact.
# CommandProcessor#transact executes the given block against self, in this case
# +sh+; our Shell object. Within the block we can substitute +sh.cd+ to +cd+,
# because the scope within the block uses +sh+ already.
# mkdir "shell-test-1" unless exists?("shell-test-1")
# for dir in ["dir1", "dir3", "dir5"]
# f = open("tmpFile", "w")
# === Pipe /etc/printcap into a file
# In this example we will read the operating system file +/etc/printcap+,
# generated by +cupsd+, and then output it to a new file relative to the +pwd+
# sh.cat("/etc/printcap") | sh.tee("tee1") > "tee2"
# (sh.cat < "/etc/printcap") | sh.tee("tee11") > "tee12"
# sh.cat("/etc/printcap") | sh.tee("tee1") >> "tee2"
# (sh.cat < "/etc/printcap") | sh.tee("tee11") >> "tee12"
