SMILEY(1)SMILEY(1)NAMEsmiley - print or explain smileys
SYNOPSISsmiley [-V] [-e] [-l] [-f] [smiley...]
DESCRIPTION
Smiley is a program for smiley junkies who like to have all the smileys
at their fingertips.
The options have the following meaning:
-V Print the version of the program and the number of faces and
definitions.
-e Explain the face found in the environment variable SMILEY.
-l Print a listing of all the known smileys, with explanations.
-f Print a random smiley, face only.
smiley Explain the given smiley.
When invoked with no arguments, smiley prints a random smiley with an
explanation.
EXAMPLE
Here are some ksh(1) functions that put a smiley into your prompt.
ps1sed()
Transform the standard input so that it will display properly
when it is made part of PS1 in ksh. (That is, quote ! $ \ if
they appear.) These are the transformations:
! → !!
$ → \$
\ → \\
Note that a ! must be doubled instead of quoted with \ in
order to display.
ps1sed()
{
sed ´s/!/&&/g
s/[$\\]/\\&/g´
}
ps1() Put a new smiley into PS1. Use ps1sed to make sure any charac‐
ters in the smiley that are special to the shell are quoted
appropriately.
ps1()
{
export SMILEY="`smiley -f`"
PS1=`print -r - "$SMILEY" | ps1sed`" "
}
CAVEATS
The list of smileys is the personal collection of the author, so there
are bound to be some missing.
Multiline smileys and the ``invisible smiley'' are absent from smiley
because the author does not want a multiline or invisible prompt.
