# **shocco** is a quick-and-dirty, literate-programming-style documentation
# generator written for and in __POSIX shell__. It borrows liberally from
# [Docco][do], the original Q&D literate-programming-style doc generator.
#
# `shocco(1)` reads shell scripts and produces annotated source documentation
# in HTML format. Comments are formatted with Markdown and presented
# alongside syntax highlighted code so as to give an annotation effect. This
# page is the result of running `shocco` against [its own source file][sh].
#
# shocco is built with `make(1)` and installs under `/usr/local` by default:
#
# git clone git://github.com/rtomayko/shocco.git
# cd shocco
# make
# sudo make install
# # or just copy 'shocco' wherever you need it
#
# Once installed, the `shocco` program can be used to generate documentation
# for a shell script:
#
# shocco shocco.sh
#
# The generated HTML is written to `stdout`.

# Usage and Prerequisites
# -----------------------
# The most important line in any shell program.
set -e
# There's a lot of different ways to do usage messages in shell scripts.
# This is my favorite: you write the usage message in a comment --
# typically right after the shebang line -- *BUT*, use a special comment prefix
# like `#/` so that its easy to pull these lines out.
#
# This also illustrates one of shocco's corner features. Only comment lines
# padded with a space are considered documentation. A `#` followed by any
# other character is considered code.
#
#/ Usage: shocco [-t ] [<source>]
#/ Create literate-programming-style documentation for shell scripts.
#/
#/ The shocco program reads a shell script from <source> and writes
#/ generated documentation in HTML format to stdout. When <source> is
#/ '-' or not specified, shocco reads from stdin.
# This is the second part of the usage message technique: `grep` yourself
# for the usage message comment prefix and then cut off the first few
# characters so that everything lines up.
expr -- "$*" : ".*--help" >/dev/null && {
grep '^#/' <"$0" | cut -c4-
exit 0
}
# A custom title may be specified with the `-t` option. We use the filename
# as the title if none is given.
test "$1" = '-t' && {
title="$2"
shift;shift
}
# Next argument should be the `<source>` file. Grab it, and use its basename
# as the title if none was given with the `-t` option.
file="$1"
: ${title:=$(basename "$file")}
# These are replaced with the full paths to real utilities by the
# configure/make system.

# line at the end of the file to make sure we have an equal number of code/comment
# pairs.

# and code begins and comments end.

# instead.
