feat(u/bktemp-checkFlt):Add bash function to check for floats

[BK-2020-03.git] / unitproc / bktemp-checkFlt

#!/bin/bash
# Desc: Checks if arg is a float

#==BEGIN Define script parameters==
#===BEGIN Declare local script functions===
yell() { echo "$0: $*" >&2; } # print script path and all args to stderr
die() { yell "$*"; exit 111; } # same as yell() but non-zero exit status
try() { "$@" || die "cannot $*"; } # runs args as command, reports args if command fails
checkFlt() {
    # Desc: Checks if arg is a float
    # Usage: checkInt arg
    # Input: arg: float
    # Output: - return code 0 (if arg is float)
    #         - return code 1 (if arg is not float)
    # Example: if ! checkInt $arg; then echo "not flt"; fi;
    # Version: 0.0.1
    # Depends: yell(), die(), bash 5.0.3
