pobsd is a tool written in Rust designed to interact with the PlayOnBSD database that can be find here
It makes use of both plege(2) and unveil(2).
At the moment, it provides three functionalities: - checking the database integrity (at the moment, in a minimal way) - exporting the database in a different format (at the moment, only json) - browsing the database (at the moment, only in read-only mode)
At the moment, pobsd is not available as a crate.
Therefore, you need to clone this repository and install
it using cargo install. Make sure to update to your $PATH
to be able to use it (usually by adding $HOME/.cargo/bin).
For now, it boils down to checking if the parser can parse the database and tells where the parser found errors. ``` $ pobsd check games.db
356 games parsed without error $ pobsd check faulty-games.db 356 games parsed Errors occured at lines 15, 24. ``` If there is an error, it should be fixed before using the other functions of pobsd since this could lead to wrong data being displayed or exported.
At the moment, the only format available is json.
$ pobsd export games.db games.json
The last (but not the least) function is the browse function.
It provides a nice yet simple terminal interface for browsing
and searching the database.
Reading https://github.com/graymind75/passmng source code helped me a lot to implement the TUI.
