I'd suggest that you look into the loadable builtin examples in the tarball and find ideas to write a couple of these.
For instance, you could try to write a Json parser that allows callback and set some bash variables mirroring the Json in an associative array or something like that. There is little documentation so as a result you kind have to look around in bash source code, and cool builtins could be a way to contribute to bash. At least that's what I do ( https://github.com/pgas ), even though I have no real ambition doing this :D Pierre On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 1:27 PM, Pranav Deshpande < deshpande.v.pra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you. > It seems that there is no read to implement this feature.
