This plugin provides a unique number that identifies a running Zshell session, in its shell variable $ZUID_ID
. Besides this unique number, also a unique codename is provided, in shell variable $ZUID_CODENAME
. Once you load this plugin, the two parameters will be set, and their values will not be available to other Zshell sessions (being thus unique).
$ZUID_ID
is a progressing number starting from 1
. $ZUID_CODENAME
is chosen from a list of predefined codenames, see the default list below.
An example use case is to hold logs in files .../mylog-${ZUID_CODENAME}.log
, so that two different Zshells will not write to the same file at the same time.
Default codenames are:
ZUID_ID
== 1
)ZUID_ID
== 2
)Zstyle configuration allows to customize the codenames:
zstyle :plugin:zuid codenames paper metal wood plastic # first 4 shells will have those codenames
The plugin is "standalone", which means that only sourcing it is needed (without using a plugin manager). So to install, unpack zsh-unique-id
somewhere and add:
source {where-zsh-unique-id-is}/zsh-unique-id.plugin.zsh
to zshrc
.
Sourcing is recommended, because it can be done early, at top of zshrc, without a plugin manager – to acquire the unique identification as early as possible.
Add zi load z-shell/zsh-unique-id
to your .zshrc
file. ZI will clone the plugin the next time you start zsh. To update issue zi update z-shell/zsh-unique-id
.
Add antigen bundle z-shell/zsh-unique-id
to your .zshrc
file. Antigen will handle cloning the plugin for you automatically the next time you start zsh.
