| 5 | +# GLOS (Go/Lua OS) |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +GLOS is a fun experiment in lightweight userland toy OS development that blends Go and Lua, providing a simple yet flexible platform for script execution and file manipulation. It features an in-memory filesystem, environment variables, and a Lua-based command API for seamless interaction. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Features |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- **Lua Execution**: Run Lua scripts interactively. |
| 12 | +- **In-Memory Filesystem**: Store and manage files without persistent disk usage. |
| 13 | +- **Environment Variables**: Set and retrieve key-value pairs within the session. |
| 14 | +- **Command REPL**: A simple shell interface for executing scripts and managing files. |
| 15 | +- **Sandboxed Execution**: Restricted Lua environment for safety. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Getting Started |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Prerequisites |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Go 1.18+ |
| 22 | +- [GopherLua](https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Installation |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Clone the repository and build the project: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```sh |
| 29 | +git clone https://github.com/yourusername/glos.git |
| 30 | +cd glos |
| 31 | +go mod tidy |
| 32 | +go build . |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Run the REPL: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```sh |
| 38 | +./glos |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## API Reference |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### File Operations |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +| Lua Function | Description | Example | |
| 46 | +|-------------|-------------|---------| |
| 47 | +| `read_file(filename)` | Reads and returns the contents of a file. | `content = read_file("test.txt")` | |
| 48 | +| `write_file(filename, content)` | Writes content to a file. | `write_file("test.txt", "Hello, GLOS!")` | |
| 49 | +| `delete_file(filename)` | Deletes a file. | `delete_file("test.txt")` | |
| 50 | +| `list_files()` | Returns a table of all stored files. | `files = list_files()` | |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### Environment Variables |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +| Lua Function | Description | Example | |
| 55 | +|-------------|-------------|---------| |
| 56 | +| `set_env(name, value)` | Sets an environment variable. | `set_env("username", "Alice")` | |
| 57 | +| `get_env(name)` | Retrieves an environment variable's value. | `print(get_env("username"))` | |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Utility Functions |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +| Lua Function | Description | Example | |
| 62 | +|-------------|-------------|---------| |
| 63 | +| `clear_screen()` | Clears the terminal screen. | `clear_screen()` | |
| 64 | +| `read_multiline_input()` | Reads multiple lines until `:exit`. | `content = read_multiline_input()` | |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## Example Lua Scripts |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Several example scripts demonstrate the API usage: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- `cat.lua`: Reads and prints file contents. |
| 71 | +- `ls.lua`: Lists all stored files. |
| 72 | +- `rm.lua`: Deletes a specified file. |
| 73 | +- `write.lua`: Interactive text input for file writing. |
| 74 | +- `clear.lua`: Clears the terminal. |
| 75 | +- `help.lua`: Displays basic REPL commands. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## Usage |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +Run scripts using the REPL: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```sh |
| 82 | +glos> run ls.lua |
| 83 | +Files in memory: |
| 84 | +- test.txt |
| 85 | +- script.lua |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +glos> run write.lua example.txt |
| 88 | +Enter content line by line. Type ':exit' to finish. |
| 89 | +Hello, world! |
| 90 | +:exit |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +glos> run cat.lua example.txt |
| 93 | +Hello, world! |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +glos> exit |
| 96 | +``` |
