  28 # Command-Line Augmentation Module (clam): get the best out of your shell.
  29 #
  30 #
  31 # This is a collection of arguably useful shell functions and shortcuts:
  32 # some of these extra commands can be real time/effort savers, ideally
  33 # letting you concentrate on getting things done.
  34 #
  35 # Some of these commands depend on my other scripts from the `pac-tools`,
  36 # others either rely on widely-preinstalled command-line apps, or ones
  37 # which are available on most of the major command-line `package` managers.
  38 #
  39 # To use this script, you're supposed to `source` it, so its definitions
  40 # stay for your whole shell session: for that, you can run `source clam` or
  41 # `. clam` (no quotes either way), either directly or at shell startup.
  42 #
  43 # Almost all commands defined in this script work with `bash`, `zsh`, and
  44 # even `dash`, which is debian linux's default non-interactive shell. Some
  45 # of its commands even seem to work on busybox's shell.
