DBus Prettifier

I noticed when working with qdbus that I would get long and unformatted outputs that are extremely difficult to read. This small program will prettify a file with the output so that it is much more readable.

Usage

To run the program, simply run it as follows:

qdbus-prettifier <in-file> [out-file]

If <in-file> is defined as - this tells the program to read from stdin allowing input to be piped. If the [out-file] option is omitted then output is sent to stdout.

For more information, check out the -h option.

Building & Installation

To compile the program, install the Rust suite, namely the compiler and Cargo. Once installed you can run cargo build --release to generate a release build of the project which will be found at target/release/dbus-prettifier.

To install the program you can use the install script. By default this will install to /usr/local, but this can be changed by setting the PREFIX variable prior to the command. For example:

PREFIX=/usr ./install

Similarly, to uninstall simply run the uninstall script. It uses the same PREFIX variable.
