## Overview

bashbasicsbyvk is a shell-based file manager with a separate web-scraping command. Its documented primary workflow starts when a user runs `o`, chooses an operation, and manages files; `xtract` independently scrapes HTML tables and links across URLs or page ranges. The tree supports the main command, interactive engine, operation modules, staging, and settings as distinct areas. README capabilities inform the workflow, but sampled source does not show their runtime wiring, so uncertain call relationships are omitted. The JavaScript audit and other tool implementations are present in the tree but their behavior is not described in the README.

Main entry points: [`script/file/functions`](https://github.com/vkdatta/bashbasicsbyvk/tree/main/script/file/functions) (File operations), [`script/file/engine`](https://github.com/vkdatta/bashbasicsbyvk/tree/main/script/file/engine) (File manager engine), [`script/o`](https://github.com/vkdatta/bashbasicsbyvk/blob/main/script/o) (Omni command), [`script/file/engine/bashbasicsbyvk_smartmenu.sh`](https://github.com/vkdatta/bashbasicsbyvk/blob/main/script/file/engine/bashbasicsbyvk_smartmenu.sh) (Interactive menu)
