Shell Integration

Your task might need to get information about its environment or perhaps proxy to other commands. Here is a handful of useful methods available to all commands.

getCWD()

This method will return the Current Working Directory that the user has changed to via the cd command. The path will be expanded and fully qualified.

shell.clearScreen()

This method on the shell object will clear all text off the screen and redraw the CommandBox prompt.

shell.getTermWidth()

This shell method returns the number of characters wide that the terminal is. Can be useful for outputting long lines and making sure they won't wrap.

shell.getTermHeight()

This shell method returns the number of characters tall the terminal is. Can be useful for outputting ASCII art.
