Scripting Utilities

If you intend to write your own dev tools, ZENv provides several utilities for doing so. For detailed usage information of all of these tools, try running zhelp.

echoerr

A simple shorthand for printing to standard out. Equivalent to echo "$@" 1>&2.

inspect

A tool for looking up properties of checkouts. This can be used to read information such as the checkout type or build command. If you end up adding common properties to many checkouts, you can modify this tool to read those as well.

notify

The notify tool creates desktop notifications. Try out notify hello!
