1;;; find-script.el --- Find a script in $PATH -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
2
3;;; Commentary:
4
5;; This package makes it easier to find a script to edit in $PATH. The initial
6;; `rehash-exes' is slow, but it's stored in `*exes*' as a caching mechanism.
7;; However, I'm sure it could be improved.
8
9;; In addition, `*exes*' currently contains /all/ executables in $PATH, which
10;; ... maybe only the ones stored in some text format should be shown.
11
12;;; Code:
13
14(defvar *exes* nil
15 "All the exectuables in $PATH.
16Run `rehash-exes' to refresh this variable.")
17
18(defun rehash-exes ()
19 "List all the executables in $PATH.
20Also sets `*exes*' parameter."
21 (setq *exes*
22 (cl-loop for dir in exec-path
23 append (file-expand-wildcards (concat dir "*"))
24 into exes
25 finally return exes)))
