Struct Shell 

pub struct Shell { /* private fields */ }

Represents the state of the interactive shell.

This struct holds the rustyline editor instance, the original directory from which the shell was started, the path to the history file, and the path to the connected database.

Implementations

impl Shell

pub fn new(db_path: &str) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new Shell instance.

This function initializes the rustyline editor, sets up the command completer, loads the command history, and establishes a Ctrl+C handler.

Arguments

• db_path - The path to the database file, which is kept for context.

Returns

A Result containing the new Shell instance, or an Err if initialization fails.

pub fn run(&mut self) -> ShellAction

Runs the main loop of the shell.

This function displays the prompt, reads user input, and executes the entered commands. It handles both built-in commands and external system commands. The loop continues until the user enters exit or .vrepl.

Returns

A ShellAction indicating the user’s intent to either exit the application or switch back to the REPL.
