zsoelim – satisfy .so requests in roff input Synopsiszsoelim [-CVh] [file …] Descriptionzsoelim parses file arguments, or if none are specified, its standard input for lines of the form: .so <filename> These requests are replaced by the contents of the filename specified. If the request cannot be met, zsoelim looks for filename.ext where .ext can…
ZSNES – Super Nintendo console emulator SynopsisZSNES [-?] [-1 #] [-2 #] [-dd] [-dh] [-f #] [-g #] [-h | -l] [-j] [-js #] [-k #] [-m] [-mc] [-md] [-ml #] [-n #] [-o] [-p #] [-r #] [-s] [-sa] [-t | -u] [-v #] [-y] [-z] [-zm #] [-zs #] [romname] DescriptionZSNES is an…
zshzle – zsh command line editor DescriptionIf the ZLE option is set (which it is by default in interactive shells) and the shell input is attached to the terminal, the user is able to edit command lines. There are two display modes. The first, multiline mode, is the default. It only works if the TERM…
zshzftpsys – zftp function front-end DescriptionThis describes the set of shell functions supplied with the source distribution as an interface to the zftp builtin command, allowing you to perform FTP operations from the shell command line or within functions or scripts. The interface is similar to a traditional FTP client (e.g. the ftp command itself,…
zshtcpsys – zsh tcp system DescriptionA module zsh/net/tcp is provided to provide network I/O over TCP/IP from within the shell; see its description in zshmodules(1). This manual page describes a function suite based on the module. If the module is installed, the functions are usually installed at the same time, in which case they will…
zshroadmap – informal introduction to the zsh manual The Zsh Manual, like the shell itself, is large and often complicated. This section of the manual provides some pointers to areas of the shell that are likely to be of particular interest to new users, and indicates where in the rest of the manual the documentation…
zshparam – zsh parameters DescriptionA parameter has a name, a value, and a number of attributes. A name may be any sequence of alphanumeric characters and underscores, or the single characters `*‘, `@‘, `#‘, `?‘, `–‘, `$‘, or `!‘. A parameter whose name begins with an alphanumeric or underscore is also referred to as a…
zshoptions – zsh options Specifying OptionsOptions are primarily referred to by name. These names are case insensitive and underscores are ignored. For example, `allexport‘ is equivalent to `A__lleXP_ort‘. The sense of an option name may be inverted by preceding it with `no‘, so `setopt No_Beep‘ is equivalent to `unsetopt beep‘. This inversion can only be…
zshmodules – zsh loadable modules DescriptionSome optional parts of zsh are in modules, separate from the core of the shell. Each of these modules may be linked in to the shell at build time, or can be dynamically linked while the shell is running if the installation supports this feature. Modules are linked at runtime…
zshmisc – everything and then some SIMPLE COMMANDS & PIPELINESA simple command is a sequence of optional parameter assignments followed by blank-separated words, with optional redirections interspersed. For a description of assignment, see the beginning of zshparam(1). The first word is the command to be executed, and the remaining words, if any, are arguments to…
zshexpn – zsh expansion and substitution DescriptionThe following types of expansions are performed in the indicated order in five steps: History Expansion This is performed only in interactive shells. Alias Expansion Aliases are expanded immediately before the command line is parsed as explained under Aliasing in zshmisc(1). Process Substitution Parameter Expansion Command Substitution Arithmetic Expansion…
zshcontrib – user contributions to zsh DescriptionThe Zsh source distribution includes a number of items contributed by the user community. These are not inherently a part of the shell, and some may not be available in every zsh installation. The most significant of these are documented here. For documentation on other contributed items such as…
zshcompwid – zsh completion widgets DescriptionThe shell’s programmable completion mechanism can be manipulated in two ways; here the low-level features supporting the newer, function-based mechanism are defined. A complete set of shell functions based on these features is described in zshcompsys(1), and users with no interest in adding to that system (or, potentially, writing their…
zshcompsys – zsh completion system DescriptionThis describes the shell code for the `new’ completion system, referred to as compsys. It is written in shell functions based on the features described in zshcompwid(1). The features are contextual, sensitive to the point at which completion is started. Many completions are already provided. For this reason, a user…
