\r\nCounter Point\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThis show is a counter point to: hpr3649 :: Linux Inlaws S01E61: 20 years in review\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics

\r\n

In today\'s show we discover that Hacker Public Radio is not a Podcast Hosting Platform.

\r\n

Each day your show will be heard by as many people as can squeeze into the main auditorium at FOSDEM, or between two and three Airbus A380-800. You know the big double decker passenger plane. Every month we have on average 33,584 downloads, that\'s about 40 fully loaded Airbus A380-800.

\r\n

\"\"

\r\n

Podcast \"Hosting\" Sites, like Spotify, Apple Podcast or Google Podcasts, etc. do not host the media, they are essentially monetizing Hacker Public Radio content. And we are all absolutely fine with that because our shows are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.

\r\n

\"actual_hpr_downloads\"

\r\n

Every one of those dots is a download that is not without cost, but is provided entirely free of charge to us by our kind hosting Provider AnHonestHost.com and the volunteer project the Internet Archive. Both of which donates terabytes of storage and data transfer to us for free.

\r\n

The people to thank are our own Josh Knapp over at AnHonestHost.com, who provides the Hacker Public Radio web site.

\r\n

And the Internet Archive which is an American digital library with the stated mission of \"universal access to all knowledge\", who provide hosting for the media.

The HPR Static Site

As mentioned in the last Community News episode, the HPR database and\nwebsite was moved to a new server, and the static site generator written\nby Rho`n was used to generated the non-interactive part of\nthe website.

Since then, there has been a process of adapting the software to the\nnew configuration. Unfortunately Rho`n has not been\navailable during this process, but we are gradually learning our way\naround his excellent software and making changes to suit our needs.

In this episode our two ageing heroes explore the inner workings of a podcast (or podcast hosting platform depending on your perspective) called Hacker Public Radio. Yes, the platform that the Inlaws have been using since the very inception of this rapidly growing FLOSS podcast content. Wondering what the heck this episode is all about, why exactly Martin and Chris are talking about this now and the importance of statistics, lies and damned lies? Then just listen to this episode. You may also find out the difference between mere caching and content syndication. Never mind HPR\'s inner workings.

Introduction

\n

I have occasionally been using a tool called ack for a\nfew years now. It’s billed as “an alternative to grep for\nprogrammers”.

\n

There are several features I find particularly useful:

\n\n

It is a very comprehensive and useful tool, though maybe quite\ncomplex to use. Personally I use it in special cases where I need its\npower, and otherwise use the usual grep.

\n

In this episode I will give you the flavour of its capabilities and\notherwise leave you to research more if it sounds interesting.

\n

Installing ack

\n

The tool can be found in repositories. I use Debian, and\nack is in the Debian repo and can be installed with:

\n
sudo apt install ack
\n

Installing it this way the version I have (and am describing here) is\n3.6.0. There is a new version, 3.7.0 available from the website.

\n

The documentation on the website suggests installing it as a Perl\nmodule using CPAN, which is something I will do soon I\nthink.

\n

Perl regular expressions

\n

These are very sophisticated.

\n

A project to convert the Perl regular expression capabilities into a\nportable library form was undertaken by Philip Hazel of Cambridge\nUniversity in 1997, and was called Perl Compatible Regular\nExpressions or PCRE.

\n

Philip Hazel was the originator of the exim mail\ntransfer agent (MTA, or mail server), and wanted to use PCRE within\nit.

\n

Since then PCRE (and later PCRE2) is the way regular expressions are\nimplemented in a lot of other software, which shows how widespread use\nof the Perl RE has become.

\n

The ack documentation refers to the Perl manual for\ndetails of this type of regular expression, and to a tutorial, if you\nwish to gain a deeper understanding.

\n

It should be noted that GNU grep can use Perl compatible\nregular expressions when matching lines in files, but this feature is\nmarked as experimental.

\n

File types

\n

The ack command has rules for recognising file types. It\ndoes this by looking at the name extensions (\'.html\' or\n\'.py\' for example), and in some cases by examining their\ncontents. The complete list of types can be found by running:

\n
ack --help-types
\n

… or, for a more detailed but less readable list:

\n
ack --dump
\n

Some examples are:

\n\n

These names can be used with the options -t TYPE and\n--type=TYPE and also by simply preceding them with two\ndashes (--TYPE). There are also ways of requesting files\nnot of a given type: -T TYPE, --type=noTYPE\nand --noTYPE.

\n

To check files in the current directory of type shell an\nack command like the following might be used and the\nfollowing type of output produced:

\n
$ ack --shell declare\nBash_snippet__using_coproc_with_SQLite/examples/coproc_test.sh\n11:declare -a com=('date +%F' 'whoami' 'id' 'echo "$BASH_VERSION"'
\n

Note that ack reports the file path and numbered lines\nwithin it that match.

\n

You can add your own file types to ack. There is a\nconfiguration file called .ackrc in which new types can be\ndeclared. See below for more information.

\n

The file type feature is one that makes me use ack again\nand again.

\n

The .ackrc file

\n

This file contains “command-line options that are prepended to\nthe command line before processing”.

\n

It’s a useful way to add new types (or even modify existing\nones).

\n

It can be located in a number of places. Mine is\n~/.ackrc with other configuration files in my home\ndirectory.

\n

It’s possible to generate a new .ackrc with the option\n--create-ackrc. This saves all the default settings in the\nfile which makes it simple to adjust anything you need to change.

\n

As an example of a change, I have Markdown files with the extension\n.mkd. However, by default ack only recognises\n.md, and .markdown. To add .mkd\nto the list I can add one of the following to the\n.ackrc:

\n
# Either add `.mkd` to the list\n--type-add=markdown:ext:mkd\n# or replace the list with a new one\n--type-set=markdown:ext:md,mkd,markdown
\n

Note that lines beginning with # are comments. Note also\nthat --type-add and --type-set have to be\nfollowed by an = sign, not a space in this file.

\n

If you examine the settings with ack --dump you will see\nthe default command and the one you have added. If you use\nack --help-types you will see the new extension added to\nthe default list.

\n
markdown     .md .markdown; .mkd
\n

If I use this to search files in the directory where I keep my HPR\nepisodes I see:

\n
$ ack --markdown 'inner ear'\nHacking_my_inner_ear/hpr2109_full_shownotes.mkd\n24:became fascinated by the structure of the human [inner ear][2], and studied it\n28:The human inner ear performs two major functions:\n.\n.\n.

Quick review of selected\nack options

\n

Usage

\n

The ack command is designed to be similar in as many\nrespects as possible to grep. The command is used in\ngeneral as follows:

\n
ack [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILES OR DIRECTORIES]
\n

The [OPTION] part denotes any options (some discussed\nbelow) and PATTERN is the PCRE search pattern. There are\nsome cases where this must be omitted - such as when files of a\nparticular type are being listed. See example 1 below for such a\ncase.

\n

In some cases a particular file is being searched, or all files in\ncertain directories, and that is what\n[FILES OR DIRECTORIES] denotes.

\n

The full documentation for ack can be seen with the\nusual man ack command, and also using\nack --man. There is also an option --help\nwhich gives a summary of all of the available options.

\n

Options

\n

There are many options specific to ack and some in\ncommon with grep, and we’ll look at just a few here:

\n\n

Examples

\n

1. Find all Markdown\nfiles in a directory

\n

Using the -f option:

\n
$ ack --markdown -f Nitecore_Tube_torch/\nNitecore_Tube_torch/README.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/container.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/index.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/shownotes.mkd
\n

Using the -g option:

\n
$ ack -g '\.mkd$' Nitecore_Tube_torch/\nNitecore_Tube_torch/README.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/container.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/index.mkd\nNitecore_Tube_torch/shownotes.mkd
\n

2. Names\nof files that contain a match, with a match count

\n

Using the -l and -c options:

\n
$ ack --markdown -lci '\bear\b'\nHacking_my_inner_ear/hpr2109_full_shownotes.mkd:11\nHacking_my_inner_ear/shownotes.mkd:3\nAn_overview_of_the_ack_command/shownotes.mkd:6
\n

The sequence \'\b\' in Perl regular expressions is a\nboundary such as a word boundary. So the pattern is looking for the word\n\'ear\' as opposed to the characters \'ear\' (as\nin \'pearl\' for example).

\n

Note how the single-letter options -l, -c\nand -i can be concatenated.

\n

3. Searching for words in\na simpler way

\n

In example 2 the \b boundaries ensured the pattern\nmatched words rather than letter sequences. This can be simplified by\nusing the -w option:

\n
$ ack --markdown -lci -w 'ear'\nHacking_my_inner_ear/hpr2109_full_shownotes.mkd:11\nHacking_my_inner_ear/shownotes.mkd:3\nAn_overview_of_the_ack_command/shownotes.mkd:6

Introduction

\n

I have occasionally been using a tool called ack for a\nfew years now. It’s billed as “an alternative to grep for\nprogrammers”.

\n

There are several features I find particularly useful:

\n\n

It is a very comprehensive and useful tool, though maybe quite\ncomplex to use. Personally I use it in special cases where I need its\npower, and otherwise use the usual grep.

\n

In this episode I will give you the flavour of its capabilities and\notherwise leave you to research more if it sounds interesting.

\n

Installing ack

\n

The tool can be found in repositories. I use Debian, and\nack is in the Debian repo and can be installed with:

\n
sudo apt install ack
\n

Installing it this way the version I have (and am describing here) is\n3.6.0. There is a new version, 3.7.0 available from the website.

\n

The documentation on the website suggests installing it as a Perl\nmodule using CPAN, which is something I will do soon I\nthink.

\n

Perl regular expressions

\n

These are very sophisticated.

\n

A project to convert the Perl regular expression capabilities into a\nportable library form was undertaken by Philip Hazel of Cambridge\nUniversity in 1997, and was called Perl Compatible Regular\nExpressions or PCRE.

\n

Philip Hazel was the originator of the exim mail\ntransfer agent (MTA, or mail server), and wanted to use PCRE within\nit.

\n

Since then PCRE (and later PCRE2) is the way regular expressions are\nimplemented in a lot of other software, which shows how widespread use\nof the Perl RE has become.

\n

The ack documentation refers to the Perl manual for\ndetails of this type of regular expression, and to a tutorial, if you\nwish to gain a deeper understanding.

\n

It should be noted that GNU grep can use Perl compatible\nregular expressions when matching lines in files, but this feature is\nmarked as experimental.

\n

File types

\n

The ack command has rules for recognising file types. It\ndoes this by looking at the name extensions (\'.html\' or\n\'.py\' for example), and in some cases by examining their\ncontents. The complete list of types can be found by running:

\n
ack --help-types
\n

… or, for a more detailed but less readable list:

\n
ack --dump
\n

Some examples are:

\n\n

These names can be used with the options -t TYPE and\n--type=TYPE and also by simply preceding them with two\ndashes (--TYPE). There are also ways of requesting files\nnot of a given type: -T TYPE, --type=noTYPE\nand --noTYPE.

\n

To check files in the current directory of type shell an\nack command like the following might be used and the\nfollowing type of output produced:

\n
$ ack --shell declare\nBash_snippet__using_coproc_with_SQLite/examples/coproc_test.sh\n11:declare -a com=('date +%F' 'whoami' 'id' 'echo "$BASH_VERSION"'
\n

Note that ack reports the file path and numbered lines\nwithin it that match.
