text — Text, cut and reshaped — openbash

awk, sed, grep, rg, cut, tr, sort, uniq and the rest of the text coreutils, in the jail.

text

text is a command on the openbash shell, reachable over HTTP, SSH and MCP with one key. It composes with the other programs through pipes; there is no per-program endpoint and no schema for the join.

NOT ONE COMMAND
  This is a catalog entry for a SET of commands, each its own program in the
  shell. Listing seventy rows of `wc` and `nl` would bury the programs that
  cost money, so they are grouped here and enabled together.

WHAT IS THERE
  awk sed grep rg cut tr sort uniq head tail wc nl tee paste join comm
  column split fold rev tac seq printf expand

  `help <name>` for any of them, `help` for the whole list.

WHY IT MATTERS
  Every program that answers in JSON composes through these. The reason a
  study prints to stdout rather than returning a structure is so that
  `… | jq -r '.data[].id' | sort -u | head -20` is a thing you can write.
