.TH RWD 1
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
rwd, conswdir \- maintain remote working directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B rwd
|
|
.I path
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B conswdir
|
|
[
|
|
.I prog
|
|
]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Rwd
|
|
and
|
|
.I conswdir
|
|
conspire to keep
|
|
.IR rio (4)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR acme (4)
|
|
informed about the current directory on
|
|
remote systems during login sessions.
|
|
.I Rio
|
|
and
|
|
.I acme
|
|
include this information in plumb messages sent to
|
|
.IR plumber (4).
|
|
If the remote system's name space is mounted in the
|
|
plumber's name space,
|
|
the end result is that file paths printed during the session
|
|
are plumbable.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Rwd
|
|
informs
|
|
.IR rio
|
|
and
|
|
.IR acme
|
|
of directory changes.
|
|
The name of the remote machine is taken from
|
|
the environment variable
|
|
.BR $remotesys .
|
|
.I Rwd
|
|
writes the full path to
|
|
.BR /dev/wdir ;
|
|
writes the last element of the path,
|
|
suffixed by
|
|
.BI @ remotesys \fR,
|
|
to
|
|
.BR /dev/label ;
|
|
and when run inside a
|
|
.I win
|
|
(see
|
|
.IR acme (1))
|
|
window, changes the window title to
|
|
.IB path /- remotesys
|
|
using
|
|
.BR /dev/acme/ctl .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Conswdir
|
|
copies standard input to standard output, looking for in-band messages
|
|
about directory changes.
|
|
The messages are of the form:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
\e033];\fIpath\fP\e007
|
|
.EE
|
|
.LP
|
|
where
|
|
.B \e033
|
|
and
|
|
.B \e007
|
|
are ASCII escape and bell characters.
|
|
Such messages are removed from the stream and not printed to standard output;
|
|
for each such message
|
|
.I conswdir
|
|
runs
|
|
.I prog
|
|
(default
|
|
.BR /bin/rwd )
|
|
with
|
|
.I path
|
|
as its only argument.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
Add this plumbing rule (see
|
|
.IR plumb (6))
|
|
in order to run commands in the plumber's name space:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
# have plumber run command
|
|
kind is text
|
|
data matches 'Local (.*)'
|
|
plumb to none
|
|
plumb start rc -c $1
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Mount a Unix system in your name space and the plumber's:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% 9fs unix
|
|
% plumb 'Local 9fs unix'
|
|
.EE
|
|
.LP
|
|
(If you're using acme, execute
|
|
.B "Local 9fs unix
|
|
with the middle button to mount the Unix system in acme's name space.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
Connect to the Unix system, processing in-band directory change messages:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
% ssh unix | aux/conswdir
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Add this shell function to your
|
|
.B .profile
|
|
on the Unix system
|
|
to generate directory change messages every time a
|
|
.B cd
|
|
command is executed:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
H=`hostname | sed 's/\e..*//'`
|
|
_cd () {
|
|
\ecd $* &&
|
|
case $- in
|
|
*i*)
|
|
_dir=`pwd`
|
|
echo /n/$H$_dir | awk '{printf("\e033];%s\e007", $1);}'
|
|
esac
|
|
}
|
|
alias cd=_cd
|
|
.EE
|
|
.PP
|
|
The examples described so far only help for relative
|
|
path names. Add this plumbing rule to handle rooted names
|
|
like
|
|
.BR /usr/include/stdio.h :
|
|
.IP
|
|
.EX
|
|
# remote rooted path names
|
|
type is text
|
|
wdir matches '/n/unix(/.*)?'
|
|
data matches '/([.a-zA-Z¡-0-9_/\e-]*[a-zA-Z¡-0-9_/\e-])('$addr')?'
|
|
arg isfile /n/unix/$1
|
|
data set $file
|
|
attr add addr=$3
|
|
plumb to edit
|
|
plumb client window $editor
|
|

.SH BUGS
|
|
This mechanism is clunky, but Unix and SSH
|
|
make it hard to build a better one.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The escape sequence was chosen because
|
|
it changes the title on xterm windows.
