  # stream.write('\x1b[' + (x + 1) + 'G');
  # We can remove them and keep readline, for example by doing this

  #!/usr/bin/env nodejs
  # var readline = require('readline');
  # readline.cursorTo = function(a,b,c) {};
  # readline.clearScreenDown = function(a) {};
  # const repl = require('repl');

  #
  # no prompt, or else readline complete seems to be confused, based
  # on our column being different? node probably needs to send
  # different kind of escape sequence that is not ugly. Anyways,
  # completion doesnt work yet even with the ugly prompt, so whatever

# sl: ssh, but firsh rsync our bashrc and related files to a special
# directory on the remote host if needed.

# Some environment variables and files need to be setup for this to work
# (mine are set at the beginning of this file)

# SL_FILES_DIR: Environment variable. Path to folder which should at
# least have a .bashrc file or symlink. This dir will be rsynced to ~ on
# remote hosts (top level symlinks are resolved) unless the host already
# has a $SL_FILES_DIR/.bashrc. In that case, we assume it is a host you
# control and sync files to separately and already has the ~/.bashrc you
# want. The remote bash will also take its .inputrc config from this
# folder (default of not existing is fine). Mine looks like this:
# https://iankelling.org/git/?p=distro-setup;a=tree;f=sl/.iank

# SL_INFO_DIR: Environment variable. This folder stores info about what
# we detected on the remote system and when we last synced. It will be created
# if it does not exist. Sometimes you may want to forget about a
# remote system, you can use sl --rsync, or the function for that slr
# below.

# SL_TEST_CMD: Env var. Meant to be used to vary the files synced
# depending on the remote host. Run this string on the remote host the
# first time sl is run (or if we run slr). The result is passed to
# SL_TEST_HOOK. For example,
# export SL_TEST_CMD=". /etc/os-release ; echo \${VERSION//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/}"

# SL_TEST_HOOK: Env var. It is run as $SL_TEST_HOOK. This can set
# $SL_FILES_DIR to vary the files synced.

# SL_RSYNC_ARGS: Env var. String of arguments passed to rsync. For
# example to exclude files within a directory. Note, excluded
# files wont be deleted on rsync, you can add --delete-excluded
# to the rsync command if that is desired.

# SL_SSH_ARGS: Env var. Default arguments passed to ssh.

# For when ~/.bashrc is already customized on the remote server, you
# might find it problematic that ~/.bashrc is sourced for ALL ssh
# commands, even in scripts. This paragraph is all about that. bash
# scripts dont source ~/.bashrc, but call ssh in scripts and you get
# ~/.bashrc. You dont want this. .bashrc is meant for interactive shells
# and if you customize it, probably has bugs from time to time. This is
# bad. Here's how I fix it. I have a special condition to "return" in my
# .bashrc for noninteractive ssh shells (copy that code). Then use this
# function or similar that passes LC_USEBASHRC=t when sshing and I want
# my bashrc. Also, I don't keep most of my bashrc in .bashrc, i source a
# separate file because even if I return early on, the whole file gets
# parsed which can fail if there is a syntax error.
sl() {
  # Background on LC_USEBASHRC var (no need to read if you just want to
  # use this function): env variables sent across ssh are strictly
  # limited, but we get LC_* at least in debian based machines, so we
  # just make that * be something no normal program would use. Note, on
  # hosts that dont allow LC_* I start an inner shell with LC_USEBASHRC
  # set, and the inner shell also allows running a nondefault
  # .bashrc. This means the outer shell still ran the default .bashrc,
  # but that is the best we can do.
