Generate the autocompletion script for zsh

## Synopsis

Generate the autocompletion script for the zsh shell.

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need
to enable it.  You can execute the following once:

	echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

To load completions in your current shell session:

	source <(esc completion zsh)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

#### Linux:

	esc completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_esc"

#### macOS:

	esc completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_esc

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

```
esc completion zsh [flags]
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help              help for zsh
      --no-descriptions   disable completion descriptions
```
