NAME zsoelim – satisfy .so requests in roff input SYNOPSIS zsoelim [-CVh] [file …] DESCRIPTION zsoelim 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.

NAME zshzle – zsh command line editor DESCRIPTION If 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…
NAME zshzftpsys – zftp function front-end DESCRIPTION This 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…
NAME zshtcpsys – zsh tcp system DESCRIPTION A 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…
NAME 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…
NAME zshparam – zsh parameters DESCRIPTION A 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…
NAME zshoptions – zsh options SPECIFYING OPTIONS Options 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…
NAME zshmodules – zsh loadable modules DESCRIPTION Some 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…
NAME zshmisc – everything and then some SIMPLE COMMANDS & PIPELINES A 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…
NAME zshexpn – zsh expansion and substitution DESCRIPTION The 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…
NAME zshcontrib – user contributions to zsh DESCRIPTION The 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…
NAME zshcompwid – zsh completion widgets DESCRIPTION The 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,…
NAME zshcompsys – zsh completion system DESCRIPTION This 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,…
NAME zshcompctl – zsh programmable completion DESCRIPTION This version of zsh has two ways of performing completion of words on the command line. New users of the shell may prefer to use the newer and more powerful system based on shell functions; this is described in zshcompsys(1), and the basic shell mechanisms which support it…
NAME zshcalsys – zsh calendar system DESCRIPTION The shell is supplied with a series of functions to replace and enhance the traditional Unix calendar programme, which warns the user of imminent or future events, details of which are stored in a text file (typically calendar in the user’s home directory). The version provided here includes…
