# booki

but in C, 'cause why not?

[many previous iterations here](https://github.com/winsbe01/booki) [and here](https://git.sr.ht/~mryouse/cbooki)

Differences between (current state) cbooki and the (current iteration) Python version:

| Feature                | Current Version        | cbooki                          |
|------------------------|------------------------|---------------------------------|
| `add`                  | works                  | works                           |
| `discover`             | works                  | doesn't exist                   |
| sorting                | by author last name    | by order in file                |
| styling                | title underlined       | no styling                      |
| `--show`               | only at end of command | anywhere in command             |
| lists                  | anywhere in file       | on string fields                |
| `search`               | by author, title, on   | on any field                    |
| accents in `search`    | must be explicit       | diacritic-insensitive           |
| editing                | preserves file order   | edits brought to bottom of file |

Things that work:

 - [x] `search` with arbitrary query items
 - [x] multiple `search` query items
 - [x] `--show` to print out ~~most~~ all attributes

Things that don't work:

 - [ ] `search` with more than 5 query items
 - [x] searching for a single author in a multi-author item
 - [x] ~~printing any array thing~~ support for `on`, `author`, `language`, and `translator`
 - [x] ~~`^` or `$` in string searching~~ should work
 - [ ] sorting in any way

Things that might change:

 - [ ] `--show` might want to limit by field
 - [x] now parsing manually ~~currently uses [tomlc99](https://github.com/cktan/tomlc99), which is great but might be overkill for this~~
 - [x] ~~maybe prefixed `<` or `>` for numeric searches~~ prefixes are `+` for greater and `~` for less
 - [x] ~~format strings~~ with `--format` supports names of fields in surrounding `%` characters, i.e. the default is `%title% by %author%`
 - [ ] discover endpoint
 - [ ] how much lives on the stack vs the heap
