This can be useful in\nshell prompts, interactive applications such as [`fzf`](#fzf), and long-running\nprograms that poll other processes.\n\n`bkt` is available as a standalone binary as well as a\n[Rust library](https://crates.io/crates/bkt). See https://docs.rs/bkt/ for\nlibrary documentation. This README covers the `bkt` binary.\n\n## Installation\n\nRun `cargo install bkt` to compile and install `bkt` locally. You will need to\n[install `cargo`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html)\nif it\u0027s not already on your system.\n\nPre-compiled binaries for common platforms are attached to each\n[release](https://github.com/dimo414/bkt/releases) (starting with 0.5). Please\nopen an issue or send a PR if you would like releases to include binaries for\nadditional platforms.\n\nPackage manager support is being tracked\n[here](https://github.com/dimo414/bkt/issues/12); volunteers are welcome.\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org",
