about - Command line tool for finding information about programs

This is a simple tool for finding information about executables found in your PATH.

While useful, it was also my example project for learning nim which is an amazing, super easy to use, fast language.

Building

Compile with:

$ nimble build

You can then copy it to your path and you're set.

Running

Execute about to see the documentation. But you can expect something similar to this:

$ about python

Output:

/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2.7

Options were added for searching history and not matching directory names.

Future work?

I'm thinking about:

  • Stats of program usage
  • Inspect process information given the name of the program
  • Support for regular expressions
