`eshell-z.el' is an Emacs port of z(1) .
It keeps track of where you have been and how many commands you invoke there,
and provides a convenient way to jump to the directories you actually
use.
`eshell-z.el' and z(1) can work together by sharing the same data file.
Usage:
~ $ z -h
usage: z [-chlrtx] [regex1 regex2 ... regexn]
-c, --current estrict matches to subdirectories of the current directory
-h, --help show a brief help message
-l, --list list only
-r, --rank match by rank only
-t, --time match by recent access only
-x, --delete remove the current directory from the datafile
examples:
z foo cd to most frecent dir matching foo
z foo bar cd to most frecent dir matching foo, then bar
z -r foo cd to highest ranked dir matching foo
z -t foo cd to most recently accessed dir matching foo
z -l foo list all dirs matching foo (by frecency)
