Compatibility with fzf z integration about z.lua HOT 5 CLOSED

replace _z with _zlua will work for zlua, but I suggest you use:

alias zz='z -I'

zlua has already integrated fzf in z -I

from z.lua.

Thanks for the tip! I've been typing just z for years already and I don't think it's gonna be easy for me to break my habit and start typing zz... which is twice as long!

Sorry for the unrelated question, but does z.lua suffer from race conditions similar to this one: rupa/z#198? It's important to know before I make a switch.

from z.lua.

z.lua uses a temporary for writing, and then a rename() syscall to override the old database file atomicly.

If another instance is reading the old database file while rename happened, the inode of .zlua database will be updated immediately but the reading process will continue reading the old one.

It was guaranteed by posix specification and linux implementation, see here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/322038/is-mv-atomic-on-my-fs

from z.lua.

If you are still worry about that, feel free to enable the "add once" flag:

eval "$(lua /path/to/z.lua --init bash once ....)"

The database file will only be updated when $PWD changed, then, no matter how frequently you press your enter, _zlua --add will only be triggered once.

It will consider the times you visited a directory instead of the time you spent in a directory.

Thanks again!
