Stuff worth explaining
======================
.bash_prompt
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This file provides ``prompt_command`` function that is executed by the
shell just before displaying ``PS1`` (which the function sets). The result is a
colored shell prompt.
Note that the clock is not real-time. It updates after your shell command
finishes (e.g. after you press enter). That's sufficient if you want to
know how long your db backup took, for example.
Exit codes

Mercurial prompt
----------------
There are two implementations of mercurial prompt: using a separate mercurial
extension `hg-prompt <https://hg.stevelosh.com/hg-prompt/>`_, and a fallback
implementation in pure bash.
The screenshot shows the former in action:

Pure bash implementation currently lags behind in features.
Git prompt

Root prompt
-----------

Mercurial and Git support is disabled for root, thus two colored dashes.
.bash_aliases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This file contains aliases. Currently, the only alias that is not exactly
self-explanatory is ``whatsopen``. In short, it's an alternative to
``sockstat`` from FreeBSD. It shows listening (TCP) applications, like
``netstat -ntlp``, but with a handy difference. It additionally shows
users, so instead of this::
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5984 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30617/beam.smp
you get this::
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
beam.smp 30617 couchdb 16u IPv4 7652760 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:5984 (LISTEN)
As you can see, it's much easier to guess what beam.smp is when you know
couchdb owns it.
