## Getting the terminal size (*in a script*).
## File handling
### Get the first N lines in a file.
Alternative to the `head` command.
**NOTE:** Requires `bash` 4+
```sh
head() {
# Usage: head "n" "file"
mapfile -tn "$1" line < "$2"
printf '%s\n' "${line[@]}"
}
```
### Get the last N lines in a file.
Alternative to the `tail` command.
**NOTE:** Requires `bash` 4+
```sh
tail() {
# Usage: tail "n" "file"
mapfile -tn 0 line < "$2"
printf '%s\n' "${line[@]: -$1}"
}
```
### Get the number of lines in a file.
Alternative to `wc -l`.
**NOTE:** Requires `bash` 4+
```sh
lines() {
# Usage lines "file"
mapfile -tn 0 lines < "$1"
printf '%s\n' "${#lines[@]}"
}
```
## Strings
### Get the directory name of a file path.
Alternative to the `dirname` command.
```sh
dirname() {
# Usage: dirname "path"
printf '%s\n' "${1%/*}/"
}
```
### Trim quotes from a string.
```sh
trim_quotes() {
# Usage: trim_quotes "string"
: "${1//\'}"
printf "%s\\n" "${_//\"}"
}
```
## Colors
### Convert a hex color to RGB
```sh
hex_to_rgb() {
# Usage: hex_to_rgb "#FFFFFF"
((r=16#${1:1:2}))
((g=16#${1:3:2}))
((b=16#${1:5:6}))
printf '%s\n' "$r $g $b"
}
```
### Convert an RGB color to hex.
```sh
rgb_to_hex() {
# Usage: rgb_to_hex "r" "g" "b"
printf '#%02x%02x%02x\n' "$1" "$2" "$3"
}
```
## Miscellaneous
### Getting the terminal size (*in a script*).
This is handy when writing scripts in pure bash and `stty`/`tput` cant be
called.

## Get the current date using `strftime`.
### Get the current date using `strftime`.
Bashs `printf` has a built-in method of getting the date which we can use
in place of the `date` command in a lot of cases.
