Pointless bash function to show an interesting figlet font with basic help menu. More of a test/example/template than anything :-) Requires figlet

figlet-tr.sh

### figlet-tr help
funcname="figlet-tr"
figlettrhelp="
       TITLE:
       
              $funcname [-h|--help] [string]


       DESCRIPTION:

            {{_Description_}} # Description

            If no input messege is used, the ENVIROMENT VARIABLE 'USER' will be used instead.


       INSTALLATION:
       
            Add this line to your '.bashrc' or '.zshrc'\

                source \"/PATH/TO/$funcname\"


       USAGE:
       
            % $funcname [string] 

       OPTIONS:

            --help | -h     : Show this help menu


       EXAMPLES:

            % $funcname 'string'  (Using string input)
            % $funcname           (Using no input resulting is showing env '$USER')
            $ $funcname -h        (Show help)
"


function figlettr(){
    if [[ "$1" == "--help" ]] || [[ "$1" == "-h" ]] && echo "$figlettrhelp" && return
    [[ -z "$1" ]] && local mssssg="$USER" || local mssssg="$1"
    echo "$mssssg"
    echo "$mssssg" | figlet -t -f lean | tr ' _/' ' ()'
    echo "$mssssg" | figlet -t -f lean | tr ' _/' '/  '
    echo "$mssssg" | figlet -t -f lean | tr ' _/' ' //'
    echo "$mssssg" | figlet -t -f lean | tr ' _/' './\\'

}
alias figlet-tr="figlettr"

Example Output

           $USER
