Observe what profiles are loaded?

Observe what profiles are loaded?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

It describes what files are loaded by zsh. But I like to monitor the
progress in action. Is there a way to print the file whenever a file
is loaded? Thanks.

In ~/.zshenv, add

setopt SOURCE_TRACE

This will miss /etc/zshenv but report everything else.  This is a
fairly recent option, older versions do not have it.

Starting the shell with

    zsh -o SOURCE_TRACE

should cover /etc/zshenv

I don't follow the documentation of `-o`. Could you please explain
what it means?

       Options may be specified by name using the -o option.  -o acts  like  a
       single-letter  option, but takes a following string as the option name.

If you read "man zshoptions" you'll see that every option has a long
name (e.g., AUTO_CD or SOURCE_TRACE or XTRACE etc.), and a subset of
options also have a "single letter option" (prefixed by a hyphen).
The long name is for use with "setopt" and the single letter is for
use either with the builtin "set" command or as startup options to the
"zsh" invocation itself.  In the event that you want to pass to "zsh"
an option that does not have a "single letter" variation, you can use
"zsh -o name" where "name" is the long name of the option; in the
current example: "zsh -o SOURCE_TRACE".
