kaslurp - a REPL wrapper for kaput-cli

kaput is a put.io client.

On my Raspberry Pi, kaput is slow to start due to the limited system resources. kaslurp lets you download multiple put.io files without needing to restart kaput each time.

You can make and change the directory the files are saved to, you can check what existing files you have, from within the kaslurp REPL and you can also call it to quickly background download files without needing to wait for the kaput UI.

$ kaslurp
/mnt/video kaslurp> d 123456
Downloading 12345 in the background
/mnt/video kaslurp> cd Thrillers
/mnt/video/Thrillers kaslurp> ls
total 263MB
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 263M Jan  1 21:31 Dressed_to_Kill_(1946).mp4
/mnt/video/Thrillers kaslurp> mkdir "Sherlock Holmes"
/mnt/video/Thrillers kaslurp> cd Sherlock\ Holmes
/mnt/video/Thrillers/Sherlock Holmes kaslurp>

By default you'll start with a REPL in your $MEDIADIR but if you call kaslurp like this:

kaslurp 123456789

it will spawn a background download of the put.io media id 123456789 saving it to your current pwd and return you to the command line.

If you call it like this:

kaslurp -d /tmp 123456789

It will first cd to /tmp and background download the the file there.

You can also override the starting MEDIADIR location by calling like this:

kaslurp -d /tmp

You'll get the REPL but be in /tmp.

Usage:  kaslurp
                Start the REPL

        kaslurp -d /some/path
                Start the REPL at /some/path

        kaslurp <put.io file ID>
                Start a background download of <ID> to your current pwd and exit

        kaslurp -d /some/path <put.io file ID>
                Start a background download of <ID> to /some/path and exit
