# ltsh
small utility to perform a type-check on shell-pipelines
<hr/>
### Example
```sh
[~]$ ltsh <<< 'echo -n $PATH | xargs stat -c %x | sort -n'
```
```
--- BEGIN TYPE-ANALYSIS ---
* unknown stdin-type for `echo -n $PATH`
* !====> TYPE MISMATCH !! <====!
——————————
....`echo -n $PATH` outputs
<Seq Path~<Seq PathSegment~<Seq Char>>~<SepSeq Char '/'>~<Seq Char>>~<SepSeq Char ':'>~<Seq Char>
———————————
.... `xargs stat -c %x` expects
<Seq Path~<Seq PathSegment~<Seq Char>>~<SepSeq Char '/'>~<Seq Char>>~<SepSeq Char '\n'>~<Seq Char>
——————————
* !====> TYPE MISMATCH !! <====!
——————————
....`xargs stat -c %x` outputs
<Seq Date~ISO-8601~<Seq Char>>~<SepSeq Char '\n'>~<Seq Char>
———————————
.... `sort -n` expects
<Seq >~<Seq <PosInt 10 BigEndian>~<Seq <Digit 10>~Char>>~<SepSeq Char '\n'>~<Seq Char>
——————————
--- END TYPE-ANALYSIS ---
```
### Use as Zsh-extension
To automatically check every pipeline entered during interactive shell
use, add the following hook to your `.zshrc`:
```sh
preexec() {
ltsh <<< "$1"
}
```
## Limitations
* only parses pipelines
* ignores quoting rules & expansions
* regex-based typedb implementation (slow & incapable)
