- X#
- X# c2z - environment conversion tool
- X# Contributed by Bart Schaefer
- X# (Tweaked a bit by Paul Falstad)
- X#
- X# This is a quick script to convert csh aliases to zsh aliases/functions.
- X# It also converts the csh environment and local variables to zsh. c2z
- X# uses the csh to parse its own dot-files, then processes csh output to
- X# convert the csh settings to zsh.
- X#
- X# When run as a zsh fuction, c2z runs csh as if it were an interactive
- X# shell whenever the parent zsh is interactive. When run as a shell
- X# script, the -i switch can be used to force this behavior.
- X#
- X# The -l (login) switch causes csh to run as if it were a login shell.
- X# This is done "properly" if c2z is used as a zsh function, otherwise
- X# it's faked by explicitly sourcing .login. Use with caution if your
- X# .login initializes an X server or does other one-time-only startup
- X# procedures.
- X#
- X# usage:
- X# c2z [-i] [-l]
- X#
- X# You can use this script in your .zshrc or .zlogin files to load your
- X# regular csh environment into zsh; for example, in .zlogin:
- X#
- X# . =(c2z -l)
- X#
- X# This is not perfect, but it gets most common aliases and variables.
- X# It's also rather time-consuming to do this every time you log in.
- X# However, if you're moving from csh to zsh for the first time, this
- X# can get you started with a familiar environment right away.
- X#
- X# In case your mailer eats tabs, $T is set to expand to a tab.
- X#
- XT="`echo x | tr x '\011'`"
- X
- X# If we're zsh, we can run "- csh" to get the complete environment.
