Features

• members base management
  • member files parsing and validation
  • member ids validation
  • generating new member id
  • per-month statistics of active, suspended, destroyed and student members
  • detailed member information
  • querying members by id or nick

Requirements

There are no runtime requirements, it is possible to build binary that requires only libc.

Build requirements:

• Chicken Scheme 5
• make (tested with GNU make)

Building static binary:

make brmsaptool-static

It is possible to run the main tool as script with Chicken Scheme interpreter and POSIX-compatible shell for the purpose of development.

Development requirements:

• POSIX shell

Support Modules

There modules are not specific to this project but had to be implemented anyway to not require any external dependencies.

ANSI

Command Line parsing

Dictionary

Listing

This module implements listing a text file with line numbers and optional highlights of given source lines, optionally with comments for those lines.

(print-source-listing lines highlights context hl-pre hl-post ctx-pre ctx-post ellipsis)

• lines - list of string representing lines of the text file
• highlights - list of highlights (see below)
• context - number of context lines to be shown around highlighted lies
• hl-pre - string introducing highlighted lines
• hl-post - string terminating highlighted lines
• ctx-pre - string introducing context lines
• ctx-post - string terminating context lines
• ellipsis - string representing lines omitted from the output

Prints given text file represented by the lines list of strings.

Lines to be highlighted can be specified in the highlights list. The highlight specification is either a number or a list containing the line number and string comment.

The lines are actually highlighted by prepending them with hl-pre string and the highlight is finished by appending hl-post to them. Usually some constants from the ansi module are used.

If some lines are highlighted a number of context lines surrounding them may be printed as well. If this argument is negative, all non-highlighted lines are printed as context lines.

Context lines are prepended with ctx-pre string and terminated by ctx-post string.

If some lines between highlight and/or context lines are omitted, ellipsis string is printed on single line as a substitute.

Progress

Provides syntax forms and procedures for showing progress of a process.

(with-progress echo? pre post body ...)

• echo? - flag enabling progress output
• pre - string to be printed at start
• post - string to be printed after finish
• body ... - expressions of the process tracked

Displays process progress starting with the pre string, adding arbitrary string to the output using the progress-advance during each and every step. If the process reaches its finish, the output line is finished with the post string and cursor is moved to new line.

During the steps, the whole line is always refreshed when the progress gets updated.

If echo? is #f (false), nothing is output.

(progress-advance [str])

• str - string to add to progress, defaults to "."

Adds given string to current progress and refreshes the progress line. Must be evaluated within with-progress expression.

(progress-break body ...)

• body ... - arbitrary expressions to be evaluated

Evaluates the body ... expressions. Hides current progress line before the evaluation and redisplays it when finished.

Testing

This module provides simple syntax forms for (unit) testing of other modules.

(run-tests name body ...)

• name - identifier describing the module being tested
• body ... - test expressions

Runs all tests specified on the body .... Firstly it prints "[test] name " at the beginning of the line. Secondly it runs all tests, printing "." for each test successfully passed. If all tests pass, prints " ok." and moves the cursor to the next line.

In case any of the tests fails, exception is raised and program terminates.

(test-eq? name expression expected-result)

• name - identifier representing the name of the test
• expression - expression to be evaluated
• expected-result - expected result of the test expression

Evaluates the test expression and compares the result with expected-result using eq?. If the comparison fails, an exception is raised with the name of the test added to the exception. If the test passes, prints "." like all tests from this module do.

(test-equal? name expression expected-result)

• name - identifier representing the name of the test
• expression - expression to be evaluated
• expected-result - expected result of the test expression

Evaluates the test expression and compares the result with expected-result using equal?. If the comparison fails, an exception is raised with the name of the test added to the exception. If the test passes, prints "." like all tests from this module do.

(test-true name expression)

• name - identifier representing the name of the test
• expression - expression to be evaluated

Evaluates the test expression and checks whether the result is #t (true). An exception is raised if it is not with the name of the test added to the exception. If the test passes, prints "." like all tests from this module do.

(test-false name expression)

• name - identifier representing the name of the test
• expression - expression to be evaluated

Evaluates the test expression and checks whether the result is #f (false). An exception is raised if it is not with the name of the test added to the exception. If the test passes, prints "." like all tests from this module do.

(test-exn name expression)

• name - identifier representing the name of the test
• expression - expression to be evaluated

Evaluates the test expression and checks whether it raised an exception. An exception is raised if no exception was raised during the evaluation. If the test passes, prints "." like all tests from this module do.

Utils

To ensure there are no external dependencies (including chicken eggs), this module re-implements any basic procedures which are required for any algorithms used.

(filter pred? lst)

• pred? - procedure accepting any value and returning #t or #f
• lst - list to be filtered

Returns a list containing only elements matching given pred? predicate.
