# what-the-path
A Rust library for detecting the current Unix shell, managing shell rc files, and manipulating your PATH.
## Features
- Detect your active shell (Fish, Zsh, Bash, POSIX)
- Locate shell rc files (`.bashrc`, `.zshenv`, `conf.d` for fish, etc.)
- Check if a directory is present in the `PATH` environment variable
- Append or remove lines from shell rc files
## Installation
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
what-the-path = "0.1"
```
## Usage
```rust
use what_the_path::{Shell, exists_in_path, append_to_rcfile, remove_from_rcfile};
use std::path::PathBuf;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Detect current shell and list rc files
let shell = Shell::detect_by_shell_var()?;
let rcfiles = shell.get_rcfiles()?;
println!("Detected shell: {:?}\nRC files: {:?}", shell, rcfiles);
// Check if directory is in PATH
let dir = "/usr/local/bin";
if exists_in_path(dir) {
println!("{} is in PATH", dir);
}
// Append a line to an rc file
let rc = PathBuf::from("/home/user/.bashrc");
append_to_rcfile(rc.clone(), "export FOO=bar")?;
// Remove a line from an rc file
remove_from_rcfile(rc, "export FOO=bar")?;
Ok(())
}
```
