* treewide: format all inactive Nix files•••After final improvements to the official formatter implementation, this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it. This is part of the implementation of RFC 166. Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months. This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged. Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest, which should not cause as many conflicts. A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here should also stay formatted. This commit was automatically created and can be verified using nix-build https://github.com/infinisil/treewide-nixpkgs-reformat-script/archive/a08b3a4d199c6124ac5b36a889d9099b4383463f.tar.gz \ --argstr baseRev b32a0943687d2a5094a6d92f25a4b6e16a76b5b7 result/bin/apply-formatting $NIXPKGS_PATH Silvan Mosberger2024-12-101-29/+29
* cli.nix: improve documentation, including argumentsRob Pilling2024-05-301-36/+71
* cli.nix: permit separators between args -> `-a=b`, `--xyz=abc`, etcRob Pilling2024-05-221-1/+10
* doc: migrate lib.cli to use doc-commentsJohannes Kirschbauer2024-03-221-33/+54
* lib/cli: mkKey -> mkOptionName, use generators.mkValueStringDefault•••Let’s call them by what they are, option names. `generators.mkValueStringDefault` is a better value string renderer than plain `toString`. Also add docs to all options. Profpatsch2020-01-231-11/+25
* lib/cli: rename `renderX` options to `mkX`•••Mirrors the naming scheme in `generators.nix`, for consistency. Also rename `key` to `k` and value to `v` to aid readability to the code structure. Profpatsch2020-01-231-17/+14
* lib/cli,lib/tests/misc: somewhat more standard formattingProfpatsch2020-01-231-41/+35
* lib/cli: encodeGNUCommandLine -> toGNUCommandLineShell•••The semantic difference between `encode` and `to` is not apparent. Users are likely to confuse both functions (which leads to unexpected error messages about the wrong types). Like in `generators.nix`, all functions should be prefixed by `to`. Furthermore, converting to a string depends on the target context. In this case, it’s a POSIX shell, so we should name it that (compare `escapeShellArg` in `strings.nix`). We can later add versions that escape for embedding in e.g. python scripts or similar. Profpatsch2020-01-231-2/+24
* Factor out a `toGNUCommandLine` utility•••... as suggested by @roberth Gabriel Gonzalez2020-01-051-7/+11
* Use a more realistic example that exercises all encodings•••... as suggested by @roberth This also caught a bug in rendering lists, which this change also fixes Gabriel Gonzalez2019-12-151-3/+18
* Make behavior of `encodeGNUCommandLine` customizable•••... based on feedback from @edolstra Gabriel Gonzalez2019-12-131-13/+17
* Rename `renderOptions` to `encodeGNUCommandLine`•••... as suggested by @edolstra Gabriel Gonzalez2019-12-131-2/+2
* Add `pkgs.lib.renderOptions`•••This adds a new utility to intelligently convert Nix records to command line options to reduce boilerplate for simple use cases and to also reduce the likelihood of malformed command lines Gabriel Gonzalez2019-12-111-0/+33
