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

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 you can use the install command as follows:

install -Dm755 target/release/dbus-prettifier /usr/local/bin
