# Utility

Defines general aliases and functions.

This module must be loaded _before_ the [_`completion`_][1] module so that the
provided completion definitions are loaded automatically by _`completion`_
module.

**Note:** Some of the utilities configured in this module might be provided via
GNU utilities with incompatible arguments on non-GNU systems. In such cases,
using [_`gnu-utility`_][2] module is recommended and it must be loaded
_before_ this module.

To elaborate, the relative order of loading the modules would be
_`gnu-utility`_, _`utility`_ and _`completion`_.

## Settings

### Highlighting

If you have enabled color globally in _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_, you may
disable it selectively for certain commands.

To disable `ls` color, add the following to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_.
When coloring is disabled, type indicators (`\*`, `/`, `=>`, `@`, `=`, `|`, `%`)
will be appended to entries.

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:ls' color 'no'
```

To disable GNU coreutils `ls` to list directories grouped first, add the
following line to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:ls' dirs-first 'no'
```

To disable `grep` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:grep' color 'no'
```

To disable `diff` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:diff' color 'no'
```

To disable `wdiff` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:wdiff' color 'no'
```

To disable `make` highlighting, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:

```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:utility:make' color 'no'
```
