autoload

Mark functions for lazy loading in Zsh. Functions are not loaded into memory until first called, improving shell startup time. More information: https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Shell-Builtin-Commands.html.

• Autoload a function by name:

autoload {{function_name}}

• Autoload a function and immediately resolve its definition:

autoload +X {{function_name}}

• Autoload a function using Zsh-style autoloading (recommended):

autoload -Uz {{function_name}}

• Make functions from a directory available by adding it to fpath:

fpath=({{path/to/functions_dir}} $fpath) && autoload -Uz {{function_name}}

• Autoload the Zsh completion system:

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

• Autoload and use the add-zsh-hook utility:

autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
