## Helper Functions
- `bbask [-1] [prompt [initial]]`: get user input in a standardized and
`bb` is bundled with some helper scripts for performing common tasks. These
scripts are installed to `/etc/xdg/bb/`, which is added to `bb`'s `$PATH`
environment variable at runtime. `~/.config/bb/` is also added to the `$PATH`
with higher priority, so you can override any of these scripts by putting your
own version there.
- `bbstartup`: The script run when `bb` first launches. It calls `bbbindkeys` by
default and sets up some configuration settings like which columns to display.
- `bbbindkeys`: The script called by `bb` to create all of `bb`'s key bindings.
It's currently very hacky, but it amounts to a bunch of calls to `bbcmd
bind:<key>:<script>`
- `bbshutdown`: The script run when `bb` exits. The default implementation saves
the current configuration settings to `~/.local/share/bb/settings.sh`, which
is run by `bbstartup` to restore the settings at launch.
- `bbask [-1] [prompt [initial]]`: Get user input in a standardized and
customizable way and output it to `STDOUT`.
- `bbcmd <cmd>*`: used for modifying `bb`'s internal state (see BB Commands).
- `bbcmd <cmd>*`: Modify`bb`'s internal state (see BB Commands).
- `bbconfirm [prompt]`: Display a "Is this okay? [y/N]" prompt and exit with
failure if the user does not press 'y'.
- `bbpause`: Display a "press any key to continue" message and wait for a keypress.
