Motivation
While
.lit
files are easy to copy onto the 'home' server, doing so clutters up the root directory, and will only create more clutter as new.lit
files get added in the future. As a first step to managing this, I've implemented the functionality of thecat
terminal command as a method available on thens.singularity
namespace.This addition should let players write their own 'remote file viewer' scripts once they've gotten SF4.
Scope
This PR only adds the new method itself, which is simply a 1:1 feature-for-feature implementation of the terminal equivalent. No new behaviors are added.
New API Method
ns.singularity.cat(filename)
- Displays the content of a file on the currently connected serverConsiderations
ns.singularity.connect
.
