Proxy Unix applications in the terminal

cliProxy

Description

This wrapper binary uses pseudo-terminals on Mac and Linux to imitate TTY sessions for the hard coded binary specified by the variable binName in main.go. This binary should be placed in a path that'll be searched before the path specified in binName in order to be called.

Installation

go get -u github.com/djhohnstein/cliProxy

Compile-Time Configuration

make will take 2 environment variables, BIN and LOG, and instruct the linker to embed them into the program, overwriting whatever is set in main.go. This will allow one to create customized version of the binary without needing to change app source.

$ make -j2 BIN=/usr/bin/zsh LOG=.zsh_histlog

GOOS=linux garble -tiny build -ldflags "-X main.logDir=.zsh_histlog -X main.binName=/usr/bin/zsh" -o release/cliproxy_linux
GOOS=darwin garble -tiny build -ldflags "-X main.logDir=.zsh_histlog -X main.binName=/usr/bin/zsh" -o release/cliproxy_darwin
