+NAME
+z \- jump around
+.SH
+SYNOPSIS
+z [\-chlrtx] [regex1 regex2 ... regexn]
+.SH
+AVAILABILITY
+bash, zsh
+.SH
+DESCRIPTION
+Tracks your most used directories, based on 'frecency'.
+.P
+After a short learning phase, \fBz\fR will take you to the most 'frecent'
+directory that matches ALL of the regexes given on the command line, in order.
+
+For example, \fBz foo bar\fR would match \fB/foo/bar\fR but not \fB/bar/foo\fR.
+.SH
+OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR
+restrict matches to subdirectories of the current directory
+.TP
+\fB\-e\fR
+echo the best match, don't cd
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR
+show a brief help message
+.TP
+\fB\-l\fR
+list only
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR
+match by rank only
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR
+match by recent access only
+.TP
+\fB\-x\fR
+remove the current directory from the datafile
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP 14
+\fBz foo\fR
+cd to most frecent dir matching foo
+.TP 14
+\fBz foo bar\fR
+cd to most frecent dir matching foo, then bar
+.TP 14
+\fBz -r foo\fR
+cd to highest ranked dir matching foo
+.TP 14
+\fBz -t foo\fR
+cd to most recently accessed dir matching foo
+.TP 14
+\fBz -l foo\fR
+list all dirs matching foo (by frecency)
+.SH
+NOTES
+.SS
+Installation:
+.P
+Put something like this in your \fB$HOME/.bashrc\fR or \fB$HOME/.zshrc\fR:
+.RS
+.P
+\fB. /path/to/z.sh\fR
+.RE
+.P
+\fBcd\fR around for a while to build up the db.
+.P
+PROFIT!!
+.P
+Optionally:
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_CMD\fR to change the command name (default \fBz\fR).
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_DATA\fR to change the datafile (default \fB$HOME/.z\fR).
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_MAX_SCORE\fR lower to age entries out faster (default \fB9000\fR).
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_NO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS\fR to prevent symlink resolution.
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_NO_PROMPT_COMMAND\fR to handle \fBPROMPT_COMMAND/precmd\fR yourself.
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_EXCLUDE_DIRS\fR to an array of directory trees to exclude.
+.RE
+.RS
+Set \fB$_Z_OWNER\fR to allow usage when in 'sudo -s' mode.
+.RE
+.RS
+(These settings should go in .bashrc/.zshrc before the line added above.)
+.RE
+.RS
+Install the provided man page \fBz.1\fR somewhere in your \f$MANPATH, like
+\fB/usr/local/man/man1\fR.
+.RE
+.SS
+Aging:
+The rank of directories maintained by \fBz\fR undergoes aging based on a simple
+formula. The rank of each entry is incremented every time it is accessed. When
+the sum of ranks is over 9000, all ranks are multiplied by 0.99. Entries with a
+rank lower than 1 are forgotten.
+.SS
+Frecency:
+Frecency is a portmanteau of 'recent' and 'frequency'. It is a weighted rank
+that depends on how often and how recently something occurred. As far as I
+know, Mozilla came up with the term.
+.P
+To \fBz\fR, a directory that has low ranking but has been accessed recently
+will quickly have higher rank than a directory accessed frequently a long time
+ago.
+.P
+Frecency is determined at runtime.
+.SS
+Common:
+When multiple directories match all queries, and they all have a common prefix,
+\fBz\fR will cd to the shortest matching directory, without regard to priority.
+This has been in effect, if undocumented, for quite some time, but should
+probably be configurable or reconsidered.
+.SS
+Tab Completion:
+\fBz\fR supports tab completion. After any number of arguments, press TAB to
+complete on directories that match each argument. Due to limitations of the
+completion implementations, only the last argument will be completed in the
+shell.
+.P
+Internally, \fBz\fR decides you've requested a completion if the last argument
+passed is an absolute path to an existing directory. This may cause unexpected
+behavior if the last argument to \fBz\fR begins with \fB/\fR.
+.SH
+ENVIRONMENT
+A function \fB_z()\fR is defined.
+.P
+The contents of the variable \fB$_Z_CMD\fR is aliased to \fB_z 2>&1\fR. If not
+set, \fB$_Z_CMD\fR defaults to \fBz\fR.
+.P
+The environment variable \fB$_Z_DATA\fR can be used to control the datafile
+location. If it is not defined, the location defaults to \fB$HOME/.z\fR.
+.P
+The environment variable \fB$_Z_NO_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS\fR can be set to prevent
+resolving of symlinks. If it is not set, symbolic links will be resolved when
+added to the datafile.
+.P
+In bash, \fBz\fR appends a command to the \fBPROMPT_COMMAND\fR environment
+variable to maintain its database. In zsh, \fBz\fR appends a function
+\fB_z_precmd\fR to the \fBprecmd_functions\fR array.
+.P
+The environment variable \fB$_Z_NO_PROMPT_COMMAND\fR can be set if you want to
+handle \fBPROMPT_COMMAND\fR or \fBprecmd\fR yourself.
+.P
+The environment variable \fB$_Z_EXCLUDE_DIRS\fR can be set to an array of
+directory trees to exclude from tracking. \fB$HOME\fR is always excluded.
+Directories must be full paths without trailing slashes.
+.P
+The environment variable \fB$_Z_OWNER\fR can be set to your username, to
+allow usage of \fBz\fR when your sudo environment keeps \fB$HOME\fR set.
+.SH
+FILES
+Data is stored in \fB$HOME/.z\fR. This can be overridden by setting the
+\fB$_Z_DATA\fR environment variable. When initialized, \fBz\fR will raise an
+error if this path is a directory, and not function correctly.
+.P
+A man page (\fBz.1\fR) is provided.
