Accessing Shell In An Api

Hi, quite a while ago I asked for some help. it turned out that APIS cant access shell for a shell.run, is there any way to work around this?

Pass the shell table to the API - make the API store the reference of the shell table, and there you go, the API can call the functions in the shell table you gave it. I thought of something like this:

-- first lines of the API
local passedShell

function setShell(sl)
    passedShell = sl
end

-- * ...

function someFunctionThatUsesShell(...)
    passedShell.run(...)
end

Then the program which uses the API would look like this:

os.loadAPI("someapi")
someapi.setShell(shell)
someapi.someFunctionThatUsesShell("something")

Will try.

APIs can use os.run instead, but it's generally unnecessary to run files from an API.
