  <title>Interactive shell helpers</title>

   Some packages provide the shell integration to be more useful. But unlike other systems, nix doesn't have a standard share directory location. This is why a bunch <command>PACKAGE-share</command> scripts are shipped that print the location of the corresponding shared folder. Current list of such packages is as following:
   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      <literal>autojump</literal>: <command>autojump-share</command>
     </para>
    </listitem>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      <literal>fzf</literal>: <command>fzf-share</command>
     </para>
    </listitem>
   </itemizedlist>
   E.g. <literal>autojump</literal> can then used in the .bashrc like this:
<screen>
  source "$(autojump-share)/autojump.bash"
</screen>
  </para>
