keep(7) Mac OS X Darwin ZSH customization keep(7) NAME keep - function to capture standard output in the global variable kept DESCRIPTION The "keeper" function suite originally appeared in several zsh-users posts in the fall of 2004. It was published in summary form in the Shell Corner column on UnixReview.com in January 2005 at the URL http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=9513/ur0501a/ur0501a.htm The "keep" function accepts a set of file patterns as the positional parameters or a series of lines (expected to represent file names) on standard input. It stores the expansion of those patterns, or the input lines, in the global variable $kept, and then displays the result formatted in columns, similar to an "ls" listing. Its alias, also named "keep", prevents the file patterns from being expanded when the command line is executed; they're expanded in the assignment to $kept instead, so that the local settings of nonomatch etc. are applied.
