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