⚙️ Modules
z-shell/zpmod
The module is a binary Zsh module, think about zmodload
Zsh command, it's that topic, which transparently and automatically compiles sourced scripts.
Many plugin managers do not offer a compilation of plugins, the module is a solution to this. Even if a plugin manager does compile the plugin's main script (like ZI does).
Install zpmod
Standalone
Install just the standalone binary which can be used with any other plugin manager.
This script can be used with most plugin managers and ZI is not required.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.io/get-zi)" -- -a zpmod
This script will display what to add to ~/.zshrc
(2 lines) and show usage instructions.
With ZI
ZI users can build the module by issuing the following command instead of running the above build.sh
script.
zi module build
This command will compile the module and display instructions on what to add to ~/.zshrc
.
Measuring Time of sources
Besides the compilation feature, the module also measures duration of each script sourcing.
Issue zpmod source-study
after loading the module at top of ~/.zshrc
to see a list of all sourced files with the time the sourcing took in milliseconds on the left.
This feature allows profiling the shell startup. Also, no script can pass through that check and you will obtain a complete list of all loaded scripts, like if Zshell itself was investigating this.
The list can be surprising.
Debugging
To enable debug messages from the module set:
typeset -g ZI_MOD_DEBUG=1
z-shell/zgdbm
Provides GDBM module as plugin
Install zgdbm
With ZI
zstyles
- The values being set are the defaults.
Change the values before loading zgdbm plugin.
zstyle ":plugin:zgdbm" cppflags "-I/usr/local/include" # Additional include directory
zstyle ":plugin:zgdbm" cflags "-Wall -O2 -g" # Additional CFLAGS
zstyle ":plugin:zgdbm" ldflags "-L/usr/local/lib" # Additional library directory
zi light z-shell/zgdbm
