bake [-chln] [-s <n>] <FILENAME> [ARGS...]; version 20240928
Bake is a simple tool meant to execute embedded shell commands within
any file. It executes with /bin/sh the command after a "@BAKE " to
the end of the line (a UNIX newline: '\n').
It expands some macros,
@FILENAME @FILE @NAME - filename
@SHORT - filename without suffix (abc.x.txt \-> abc.x)
@SHORT:N - removes N suffixes, so (a.b.c 2 -> a)
@ARGS - other arguments to the program
@ARGS:N - Provides the Nth argument, starting from 0
@ARGS:N+ - All arguments at and after Nth
@RECURS - the full path name to the executable
@LINE - line number at the selected @BAKE
All macros can be exempted by prefixing them with a backslash,
which'll be subtracted in the expansion. commands may be
spanned over several lines with a leading backslash.
It has five options, this message (-h, --help); prevents the execution
of the shell command (-n, --dry-run); list (-l, --list) and select
(-s<n>, --select <n>) which respectively lists all @BAKE commands and
select & run the Nth command.
It roots the shell execution in the directory of the given file.

Shake
Bake was inspired by the Bash-based Shake utility (formerly eMake, he
liked my suggestion for a name). It is included under authorization
of its creator. The original version of Shake may be found at:
<http://bis64wqhh3louusbd45iyj76kmn4rzw5ysawyan5bkxwyzihj67c5lid.onion/anon/shake>
Bake includes a modified Shake, both after installation and as a
bootstrapper. The modified version includes all features of Bake with
the exceptions of multi-line commands. It is not a general
replacement for Bake.
