SMILEY(1)              DragonFly General Commands Manual             SMILEY(1)

NAME
       smiley - print or explain smileys

SYNOPSIS
       smiley [-V] [-e] [-l] [-f] [smiley...]

DESCRIPTION
       Smiley is a program for smiley junkies who like to have all the smileys
       at their fingertips.

       The options have the following meaning:

       -V     Print the version of the program and the number of faces and
              definitions.

       -e     Explain the face found in the environment variable SMILEY.

       -l     Print a listing of all the known smileys, with explanations.

       -f     Print a random smiley, face only.

       smiley Explain the given smiley.

       When invoked with no arguments, smiley prints a random smiley with an
       explanation.

EXAMPLE
       Here are some ksh(1) functions that put a smiley into your prompt.

       ps1sed()
              Transform the standard input so that it will display properly
              when it is made part of PS1 in ksh.  (That is, quote  ! $ \  if
              they appear.)  These are the transformations:

                   !    ->   !!
                   $    ->   \$
                   \    ->   \\

              Note that a  !  must be doubled instead of quoted with  \  in
              order to display.

              ps1sed()
              {
                   sed 's/!/&&/g
                        s/[$\\]/\\&/g'
              }

       ps1()  Put a new smiley into PS1.  Use ps1sed to make sure any
              characters in the smiley that are special to the shell are
              quoted appropriately.

              ps1()
              {
                   export SMILEY="`smiley -f`"
                   PS1=`print -r - "$SMILEY" | ps1sed`" "
              }

CAVEATS
       The list of smileys is the personal collection of the author, so there
       are bound to be some missing.

       Multiline smileys and the ``invisible smiley'' are absent from smiley
       because the author does not want a multiline or invisible prompt.
