And strict mode (set -e) is off

I use an fzf based script that queries for updates and lets me choose what to install.

If you use xbps, or are just curious:

::: xu #!/bin/env sh

self="$(basename "$0")"

error() { printf '%s:' "$self" >&2 # shellcheck disable=SC2068 printf ' %s' $@ >&2 printf '\n' >&2 }

fatal() { error "$@" exit 1 }

if [ -x "$(command -v sk)" ]; then finder=sk elif [ -x "$(command -v fzf)" ]; then finder=fzf else echo "neither fzf or sk are installed" >&2 exit 1 fi

tmp="$(mktemp)" || fatal "couldn't source bindings" grep '^export' "$DOTFILES/.zshenv" | grep -E 'FZF|SKIM' >"$tmp" . "$tmp" rm "$tmp"

shellcheck disable=SC2046

choices="$(xbps-install -nSu | cut -f1 -d' ' | sed 's/-[^-]*$//g' | $finder | tr '\n' ' ')"

[ -n "$choices" ] || exit

guard=pkexec command -v "$guard" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || guard=sudo

shellcheck disable=SC2086

while ! $guard xbps-install -Syu $choices; do :; done

The concern isn't that corporations deserve protection. It's that as thesr platforms gain notoriety, those corporations lash out and force them to cease operation, which is fundamentally inconvenient to pirates.

Can anybody break this one down for an idiot like me?
