rc shell language extension for VS Code

Syntax highlighting for the rc shell language.

rc is the shell used by Plan 9. It is also available on Unix-like systems through projects such as plan9port.

This extension currently contributes:

• an rc language id
• .rc file association
• common Plan 9 rc filenames such as termrc, cpurc, and riostart
• shebang detection for #!/bin/rc
• TextMate highlighting for strings, comments, variables, control flow, functions, redirection, command substitution, process substitution, and common builtins

Install Locally

Package the extension:

vsce package --no-dependencies

Install the generated VSIX:

code --install-extension rc-shell-0.0.1.vsix

Development

Open this folder in VS Code and press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host. Open examples/sample.rc or a Plan 9 script with a #!/bin/rc shebang.

Scope

This is a first-pass TextMate grammar. It is meant to provide useful editor highlighting for real rc scripts, not a complete parser.
