Show HN: ptrap, CLI tool to cache and interact with stdout (github.com)

1 points by cyingfan 1y ago ↗ HN

This is a tool I built over weekend to solve a common scenario I face: having to repeatedly query/grep output from an API call, which can be rather slow.

The idea is not novel. A similar tool exists https://github.com/elkowar/pipr but that is not windows friendly.

trap is a UNIX sh built-in. Is this for Windows only?

Thanks for pointing out that trap is a shell function. I'll probably rename the project :D

I tested in Windows and Ubuntu. Works in both.
