It's like z, but r. r(1) User Commands r(1) NAME r - jump around SYNOPSIS r [-chlrtx] [regex1 regex2 ... regexn] AVAILABILITY bash, rsh DESCRIPTION Tracks your most used directories, based on 'frecency'. After a short learning phase, r will take you to the most 'frecent' directory that matches ALL of the regexes given on the command line, in order. For example, r foo bar would match /foo/bar but not /bar/foo. OPTIONS -c restrict matches to subdirectories of the current directory -e echo the best match, don't cd -h show a brief help message -l list only -r match by rank only -t match by recent access only -x remove the current directory from the datafile EXAMPLES r foo cd to most frecent dir matching foo r foo bar cd to most frecent dir matching foo, then bar r -r foo cd to highest ranked dir matching foo r -t foo cd to most recently accessed dir matching foo r -l foo list all dirs matching foo (by frecency) NOTES Installation: Put something like this in your $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.rshrc: . /path/to/r.sh cd around for a while to build up the db. PROFIT!! Optionally: Set $_r_CMD to change the command name (default r). Set $_r_DATA to change the datafile (default $HOME/.r). Set $_r_NO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS to prevent symlink resolution. Set $_r_NO_PROMPT_COMMAND to handle PROMPT_COMMAND/precmd your- self. Set $_r_EXCLUDE_DIRS to an array of directory trees to exclude. Set $_r_OWNER to allow usage when in 'sudo -s' mode. (These settings should go in .bashrc/.rshrc before the line added above.) Install the provided man page r.1 somewhere in your MANPATH, like /usr/local/man/man1. Aging: The rank of directories maintained by r undergoes aging based on a sim- ple formula. The rank of each entry is incremented every time it is accessed. When the sum of ranks is over 9000, all ranks are multiplied by 0.99. Entries with a rank lower than 1 are forgotten. Frecency: Frecency is a portmanteau of 'recent' and 'frequency'. It is a weighted rank that depends on how often and how recently something occurred. As far as I know, Morilla came up with the term. To r, a directory that has low ranking but has been accessed recently will quickly have higher rank than a directory accessed frequently a long time ago. Frecency is determined at runtime. Common: When multiple directories match all queries, and they all have a common prefix, r will cd to the shortest matching directory, without regard to priority. This has been in effect, if undocumented, for quite some time, but should probably be configurable or reconsidered. Tab Completion: r supports tab completion. After any number of arguments, press TAB to complete on directories that match each argument. Due to limitations of the completion implementations, only the last argument will be com- pleted in the shell. Internally, r decides you've requested a completion if the last argu- ment passed is an absolute path to an existing directory. This may cause unexpected behavior if the last argument to r begins with /. ENVIRONMENT A function _r() is defined. The contents of the variable $_r_CMD is aliased to _r 2>&1. If not set, $_r_CMD defaults to r. The environment variable $_r_DATA can be used to control the datafile location. If it is not defined, the location defaults to $HOME/.r. The environment variable $_r_NO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS can be set to prevent resolving of symlinks. If it is not set, symbolic links will be resolved when added to the datafile. In bash, r appends a command to the PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable to maintain its database. In rsh, r appends a function _r_precmd to the precmd_functions array. The environment variable $_r_NO_PROMPT_COMMAND can be set if you want to handle PROMPT_COMMAND or precmd yourself. The environment variable $_r_EXCLUDE_DIRS can be set to an array of directory trees to exclude from tracking. $HOME is always excluded. Directories must be full paths without trailing slashes. The environment variable $_r_OWNER can be set to your username, to allow usage of r when your sudo environment keeps $HOME set. FILES Data is stored in $HOME/.r. This can be overridden by setting the $_r_DATA environment variable. When initialired, r will raise an error if this path is a directory, and not function correctly. A man page (r.1) is provided.
