As of version \theversion, + the four engines available are cURL, wget, aria2 and axel. + The default, which is + used when no option is supplied, is \texttt{auto}. In this mode, + \thepkg\ will look for wget, cURL, aria2 and axel, in that order, + and use the first one available. + + \subsection{Macros} + \DescribeMacro\download[<filename>]{<url>} + The only macro provided by \thepkg\ is \cs{download}. With it, you + can download any file from any \meta{url} supported by the underlying + engine (wget supports \texttt{http(s)} and \texttt{ftp}, cURL + supports a few more, aria2 supports torrent downloads and axel + supports downloading from multiple mirrors at once\footnote{See the + manpage of the respective command for more information.}; for most + cases wget should be enough). The + optional argument \meta{filename} makes the underlying engine save + the file with the specified filename \Notice{this also enables file + existence checking; without it, the engine will attempt to + download the file even if it exists --- wget and aria2 see the + existing file and do nothing, and axel probably replaces any existing + file but cURL will download a new copy with a numeral suffix}. + + \Implementation + \SelfPreambleTo{\mypreamble} + \section{Implementation} + \DeclareFile[key=package,preamble=\mypreamble]{download.sty} + Let's have a look at the simple implementation. The package is based + on \LaTeX3, and should comply with the standards described i the + \pkg{expl3} manual. In any case, we begin by loading a few packages + (\pkg{expl3} for the \LaTeX3 core, \pkg{l3keys2e} for applying + \pkg*{l3keys} functionality to \LaTeXe\ package option parsing, + \pkg{pdftexcmds} for the \cs{pdf@shellescape} macro and \pkg{xparse} + for the public API definitions). +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\RequirePackage{expl3,l3keys2e,pdftexcmds,xparse} +\end{MacroCode} + + Then, we declare ourselves to provide the \thepkg\ \LaTeX3 package. +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\ProvidesExplPackage{download} + {2013/04/08}{1.1}{download files with LaTeX} +\end{MacroCode} + + \subsection{Messages} + We define a couple of messages using \pkg*{l3keys} functionality. + + The two first messages will be used as fatal errors, when we notice + that functionality we absolutely \emph{require} (\emph{e.g.} either + unrestricted \cs{write18} or the specified engine) is missing. +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\msg_new:nnnn{download}{no-write18}{Could~not~use~\string\write18!} + {Please~run~`latex`~with~the~`--shell-escape`~flag.} +\msg_new:nnnn{download}{no-engine}{Could~not~find~any~engine!} + {Please~make~sure~one~of~the~engines~is~installed~and~in~your~PATH.} +\end{MacroCode} + + We also have a message being displayed when \cs{download} is being + used without its optional argument. This is a warning, since it may + imply that cURL is creating a lot of unwanted files. +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\msg_new:nnnn{download}{no-name}{Using~\string\download\space~with~no~filename!} + {This~means~I~will~download~the~file~even~if~it~already~exists.} +\end{MacroCode} + + The last two messages are diagnostics written to the log when + \opt{engine} is set to \texttt{auto}. +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\msg_new:nnn{download}{use-curl}{Using~cURL.} +\msg_new:nnn{download}{use-wget}{Using~wget.} +\msg_new:nnn{download}{use-ariaII}{Using~aria2.} +\msg_new:nnn{download}{use-axel}{Using~axel.} +\end{MacroCode} + + \subsection{The \cs{write18} test} + We require unrestricted \cs{write18} and as such we must test for + it. Using the \cs{pdf@shellescape} macro from \pkg{pdftexcmds}, we + can define a new conditional that decides if we have unrestricted + \cs{write18}. + \begin{macro}{\__download_if_shellescape:F} +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\prg_new_conditional:Nnn\__download_if_shellescape:{F}{ + \if_cs_exist:N\pdf@shellescape +\end{MacroCode} + If the command sequence exists (it really should), we test to see + if it is equal to one.

We might as well clean that up at once, since + the user probably won't do that after each run of \LaTeX, and + an old file may break the check. + \begin{macro}{\__download_rm:n}[1] + {The file to be removed} +\begin{MacroCode}{package} +\cs_new:Npn\__download_rm:n#1{ + \immediate\write18{rm~#1} +} +\end{MacroCode} + \end{macro} + + \subsection{Testing for the applications} + Testing for the existence of executables is done by calling + the standard *nix \texttt{which} command.
