zsh libs

zsh libs

[Marc Chantreux]

hello,

Few days ago, Nikolai Weibull told us about autoload to deal with
namespaces. I'm trying to use this tips for my own libs.

I load my new lib with autoload -U but when i execute the function for
the first time, it wasn't executed.

does anyone knows why ? 


> fpath+=$PWD
> cat ldap/new
#autoload ldap/read ldap/write ldap/new

ldap/new  ()  { print "new ..."  }
ldap/read  () { print "reading ..."  }
ldap/write () { print "writting ..." }

> autoload -U !$
autoload -U ldap/new
> ldap/new
> ldap/new
new ...
> autoload -U ldap/write
> ldap/write
writting ...
>

regards,

In zsh's standard form of autoload the file contains just the function
body, so that all that happens when it's first executed is that the
functions contained inside are defined.  This is different from other
shells.

However, it's simple to convert the file you've got:  just add

  ldap/new "$@"

to the end of the file.

Or use

	autload -Uk ldap/new

for ksh-style autoloading.

Prompt truncating...

/From Bash to Z Shell/ has a great chapter on truncating the path in  
the prompt for ZSH.

There is some illusion to truncation "by segment" vs. total length:

"...The example therefore shows you how to limit the amount of a  
directory printed by the total number of characters rather than by  
the numbers of segments in the path."
    Page 157-156, Chapter 7

So how to by segment? Is it in the Bash section of this chapter? I  
skipped that part. :)

How I do it in tcsh now:

if ($?prompt) then
     set prompt = "%n@%m %B[%b%c03%B]%b %% " # doesn't want to work  
in ZSH
     set cdpath = (~ ~/Documents ~/Projects)
     set ellipsis
endif

Basically, total length is nice, but not as nice as by segment, IMHO.

Thanks,
Tim

Found it. %C, %. and %c are supported. %1~ and %1 are options as well.
