This directory contains code for “url_action”, that is - to pass a given URL, and interprete it as something that can be used to provide “actionable instructions”.
The three main actions are:
-
install
-
remove
-
query
For example, you can install a program such as htop like that using a url_action:
install/htop/2.0.1
This would attempt to install htop from source (and compile it).
Similarly, you can remove a package, and you can query the version of a package.
In theory many more URL-related actions could be used, but I wanted this to be primarily limited to the above three actions only.
