# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting

# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.
This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.
By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

# Description
Use `record!` macro instead of defining two separate `vec!` for `cols`
and `vals` when appropriate.
This visually aligns the key with the value.
Further more you don't have to deal with the construction of `Record {
cols, vals }` so we can hide the implementation details in the future.
## State
Not covering all possible commands yet, also some tests/examples are
better expressed by creating cols and vals separately.
# User/Developer-Facing Changes
The examples and tests should read more natural. No relevant functional
change
# Bycatch
Where I noticed it I replaced usage of `Value` constructors with
`Span::test_data()` or `Span::unknown()` to the `Value::test_...`
constructors. This should make things more readable and also simplify
changes to the `Span` system in the future.

As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using

# Description
This doesn't really do much that the user could see, but it helps get us
ready to do the steps of the refactor to split the span off of Value, so
that values can be spanless. This allows us to have top-level values
that can hold both a Value and a Span, without requiring that all values
have them.
We expect to see significant memory reduction by removing so many
unnecessary spans from values. For example, a table of 100,000 rows and
5 columns would have a savings of ~8megs in just spans that are almost
always duplicated.

# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
```rust
record! {
"key1" => some_value,
"key2" => Value::string("text", span),
"key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
"key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
}
```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.
Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.
# User-Facing Changes
Besides the changes in `nu-protocol` the only other breaking changes are
to `nu-table::{ExpandedTable::build_map, JustTable::kv_table}`.

This PR should close#8036, #9028 (in the negative) and #9118.
Fix for #9118 is a bit pedantic. As reported, the issue is:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
3yr 12month 2day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
with this PR, you now get:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
208wk 1day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
Which is strictly correct, but could still fairly be called "weird date
arithmetic".
# Description
* [x] Abide by constraint that Value::Duration remains a number of
nanoseconds with no additional fields.
* [x] `to_string()` only displays weeks .. nanoseconds. Duration doesn't
have base date to compute months or years from.
* [x] `duration | into record` likewise only has fields for weeks ..
nanoseconds.
* [x] `string | into duration` now accepts compound form of duration
to_string() (e.g '2day 3hr`, not just '2day')
* [x] `duration | into string` now works (and produces the same
representation as to_string(), which may be compound).
# User-Facing Changes
## duration -> string -> duration
Now you can "round trip" an arbitrary duration value: convert it to a
string that may include multiple time units (a "compound" value), then
convert that string back into a duration. This required changes to
`string | into duration` and the addition of `duration | into string'.
```
> 2day + 3hr
2day 3hr # the "to_string()" representation (in this case, a compound value)
> 2day + 3hr | into string
2day 3hr # string value
> 2day + 3hr | into string | into duration
2day 3hr # round-trip duration -> string -> duration
```
Note that `to nuon` and `from nuon` already round-tripped durations, but
use a different string representation.
## potentially breaking changes
* string rendering of a duration no longer has 'yr' or 'month' phrases.
* record from `duration | into record` no longer has 'year' or 'month'
fields.
The excess duration is all lumped into the `week` field, which is the
largest time unit you can
convert to without knowing the datetime from which the duration was
calculated.
Scripts that depended on month or year time units on output will need to
be changed.
### Examples
```
> 365day
52wk 1day
## Used to be:
## 1yr
> 365day | into record
╭──────┬────╮
│ week │ 52 │
│ day │ 1 │
│ sign │ + │
╰──────┴────╯
## used to be:
##╭──────┬───╮
##│ year │ 1 │
##│ sign │ + │
##╰──────┴───╯
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns)
56wk 6day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## used to be:
## 1yr 1month 3day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## which looks reasonable, but was actually only correct in 75% of the years and 25% of the months in the last 4 years.
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns) | into record
╭─────────────┬────╮
│ week │ 56 │
│ day │ 6 │
│ hour │ 6 │
│ minute │ 7 │
│ second │ 8 │
│ millisecond │ 9 │
│ microsecond │ 10 │
│ nanosecond │ 11 │
│ sign │ + │
╰─────────────┴────╯
```
Strictly speaking, these changes could break an existing user script.
Losing years and months as time units is arguably a regression in
behavior.
Also, the corrected duration calculation could break an existing script
that was calibrated using the old algorithm.

# Description
Add `format duration` cmd to choose output unit.
This takes the previous `into duration --convert ...` behavior which
returned a string into its own `format duration` command.
This was suprising and not fitting with the general type signature for
the `into ...` commands.
This command for now lives in the `nu-cmd-extra` nursery.
# User-Facing Changes
## Breaking change
Removes formatting behavior from `into duration`
Now use `format duration` instead of `into duration --convert`
## Usage:
```
1sec | format duration us # Output data in microseconds
"2ms" | into duration | format duration sec # go from string to string
```
# Tests + Formatting
Basic example testing (including basic broadcast)
# Description
The same procedure as for #9778 repeated for records.
# User-Facing Changes
Commands that directly supported applying their work directly to record
fields via cell paths, that worked before #9680 will now work again
# Tests + Formatting
Tried to limit the need to add new `.allow_variants_without_examples()`
by adjusting or adding tests to also use some records with access.
# Description
follow up to #8529 and #8914
this works very similarly to record annotations, only difference being
that
```sh
table<name: string>
^^^^ ^^^^^^
| |
| represents the type of the items in that column
|
represents the column name
```

# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGE]**
this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Table` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the table expects, `SyntaxShape::Table(vec![])` will
suffice
# Description
Fixes the clippy warnings we're about to get hit with next time we
upgrade Rust.
The big one was shrinking ShellError and related under 128 bytes.

# Description
this pr improves parsing of values with units (`filesizes`, `durations`
and any other **future values**) by:
1. allowing underscores in the value part
```nu
> 42kb # okay
> 42_sec # okay
> 1_000_000mib # okay
> 69k_b # not okay, underscores not allowed in the unit
```
2. improving error messages involving these values
```nu
> sleep 40-sec
# before
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch
× Parse mismatch during operation.
╭─[entry #42:1:1]
1 │ sleep 40-sec

╭─[entry #41:1:1]
1 │ sleep 40-sec

This is to resolve the issue
[8614](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8614).
It allows the parsing of the mu (µ) character for durations, so you can
type `10µs`, and it correctly outputs, whilst maintaining the current
`us` parsing as well.
It also forces `durations` to be entered in lower case.
(The bottom one `1sec | into duration --convert us` looks like an
existing bug, where converting to `us` outputs `us` rather than `µs`)

# Description
Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of
136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct
also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements).
This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap.
Pro:
- Value now needs just 80 bytes
- Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines)
Con:
- More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error`
- More heap fragmentation
- Potential for additional required memcopies
# Further code changes
Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large
match.
# User-Facing Changes
None for regular users.
Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use
`nu-protocol`
Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads.
**Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume
of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many
values are held in memory.

# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.

# Description
* I was dismayed to discover recently that UnsupportedInput and
TypeMismatch are used *extremely* inconsistently across the codebase.
UnsupportedInput is sometimes used for input type-checks (as per the
name!!), but *also* used for argument type-checks. TypeMismatch is also
used for both.
I thus devised the following standard: input type-checking *only* uses
UnsupportedInput, and argument type-checking *only* uses TypeMismatch.
Moreover, to differentiate them, UnsupportedInput now has *two* error
arrows (spans), one pointing at the command and the other at the input
origin, while TypeMismatch only has the one (because the command should
always be nearby)
* In order to apply that standard, a very large number of
UnsupportedInput uses were changed so that the input's span could be
retrieved and delivered to it.
* Additionally, I noticed many places where **errors are not propagated
correctly**: there are lots of `match` sites which take a Value::Error,
then throw it away and replace it with a new Value::Error with
less/misleading information (such as reporting the error as an
"incorrect type"). I believe that the earliest errors are the most
important, and should always be propagated where possible.
* Also, to standardise one broad subset of UnsupportedInput error
messages, who all used slightly different wordings of "expected
`<type>`, got `<type>`", I created OnlySupportsThisInputType as a
variant of it.
* Finally, a bunch of error sites that had "repeated spans" - i.e. where
an error expected two spans, but `call.head` was given for both - were
fixed to use different spans.

# User-Facing Changes
Various error messages suddenly make more sense (i.e. have two arrows
instead of one).

`echo` tends to confuse new Nu users; they expect it to work like
`print` when it just passes a value to the next stage of the pipeline.
We haven't quite figured out what to do about `echo` in the long run,
but I think a good start is to remove `echo` from command examples where
it would be unnecessary and arguably unidiomatic.
Also enforce this by #[non_exhaustive] span such that going forward we
cannot, in debug builds (1), construct invalid spans.
The motivation for this stems from #6431 where I've seen crashes due to
invalid slice indexing.
My hope is this will mitigate such senarios

# Tests
Make sure you've done the following:
- [ ] Add tests that cover your changes, either in the command examples,
the crate/tests folder, or in the /tests folder.
- [ ] Try to think about corner cases and various ways how your changes
could break. Cover them with tests.
- [ ] If adding tests is not possible, please document in the PR body a
minimal example with steps on how to reproduce so one can verify your
change works.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- [x] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
- [ ] `cargo clippy --workspace --features=extra -- -D warnings -D
clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're
using the standard code style
- [ ] `cargo test --workspace --features=extra` to check that all the
tests pass
