This Info file documents Zsh, a freely available UNIX command interpreter
|
|
|
(shell), which of the standard shells most closely resembles the Korn shell
|
|
|
(ksh), although it is not completely compatible. Zsh is able to emulate
|
|
|
POSIX shells, but its default mode is not POSIX compatible, either.

chapter(The Z Shell Manual)
|
|
|
This document has been produced from the texinfo file tt(zsh.texi),
|
|
|
included in the tt(Doc) sub-directory of the Zsh distribution.
|
|
|
sect(Producing documentation from zsh.texi)
|
|
|
The texinfo source may be converted into several formats:
|
|
|
|
|
|
startitem()
|
|
|
item(The Info manual)(
|
|
|
The Info format allows searching for topics, commands, functions, etc.
|
|
|
from the many Indices. The command `tt(makeinfo zsh.texi)' is used to
|
|
|
produce the Info documentation.
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
item(The printed manual)(
|
|
|
The command `tt(texi2dvi zsh.texi)' will output tt(zsh.dvi) which can
|
|
|
then be processed with bf(dvips) and optionally bf(gs) (Ghostscript) to
|
|
|
produce a nicely formatted printed manual.
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
item(The HTML manual)(
|
|
|
An HTML version of this manual is available at the Zsh web site via:
|
|
|
|
|
|
uref(https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(The HTML version is produced with bf(texi2html), which may be obtained
|
|
|
from uref(http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/). The command is
|
|
|
`tt(texi2html --output . --ifinfo --split=chapter --node-files zsh.texi)'.
|
|
|
If necessary, upgrade to version 1.78 of texi2html.)
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
enditem()
|
|
|
|
|
|
For those who do not have the necessary tools to process texinfo,
|
|
|
precompiled documentation (PostScript, dvi, PDF, info and HTML formats)
|
|
|
is available from the zsh archive site or its mirrors, in the file
|
|
|
tt(zsh-doc.tar.gz). (See noderef(Availability) for a list of sites.)
