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 "setopt
beep". This inversion can only be done once, so "nonobeep"
is not a synonym for "beep". Similarly, "tify" is not a
synonym for "nonotify" (the inversion of "notify").
Some options also have one or more single letter names.
There are two sets of single letter options: one used by
default, and another when the shell is emulating sh or ksh.
The single letter options can be used on the shell command
line, or with the set, setopt and unsetopt builtins, as nor-
mal Unix options preceded by -.
The sense of the single letter options may be inverted by
using + instead of -. Some of the single letter option
names refer to an option being off, in which case the inver-
sion of that name refers to the option being on. For exam-
ple, "+n" is the short name of "exec", and "-n" is the short
name of its inversion, "noexec".
DESCRIPTIONS
ALL_EXPORT (-a, ksh: -a)
All parameters subsequently defined are automati-
cally exported.
ALWAYS_LAST_PROMPT
If unset, key functions that list completions try
to return to the last prompt if given a numeric
argument. If set these functions try to return to
the last prompt if given no numeric argument.
ALWAYS_TO_END
If a completion with the cursor in the word was
started and it results in only one match, the cur-
sor is placed at the end of the word.
APPEND_HISTORY
If this is set, zsh sessions will append their
history list to the history file, rather than
overwrite it. Thus, multiple parallel zsh sessions
will all have their history lists added to the
history file, in the order they are killed.
AUTO_CD (-J)
If a command is not in the hash table, and there
exists an executable directory by that name, per-
form the cd command to that directory.
AUTO_LIST (-9)
Automatically list choices on an ambiguous comple-
tion.
AUTO_MENU
Automatically use menu completion after the second
consecutive request for completion, for example by
pressing the TAB key repeatedly. This option is
overridden by MENU_COMPLETE.
AUTO_NAME_DIRS
Any parameter that is set to the absolute name of
a directory immediately becomes a name for that
directory in the usual form ~param. If this
option is not set, the parameter must be used in
that form for it to become a name (a command-line
completion is sufficient for this).
AUTO_PARAM_KEYS
If a parameter name was completed and the next
character typed is one of those that have to come
directly after the name (like `}', `:', etc.) they
are placed there automatically.
AUTO_PARAM_SLASH
If a parameter is completed whose content is the
name of a directory, then add a trailing slash.
AUTO_PUSHD (-N)
Make cd push the old directory onto the directory
stack.
AUTO_REMOVE_SLASH
When the last character resulting from a comple-
tion is a slash and the next character typed is a
word delimiter, remove the slash.
AUTO_RESUME (-W)
Treat single word simple commands without redirec-
tion as candidates for resumption of an existing
job.
BAD_PATTERN (+2)
If a pattern for filename generation is badly
formed, print an error. If this option is unset,
the pattern will be left unchanged.
BANG_HIST (+K)
Perform textual history substitution, treating the
character ! specially.
BEEP (+B)
Beep.
BG_NICE (-6)
Run all background jobs at a lower priority. This
option is set by default.
BRACE_CCL
Expand expressions in braces which would not oth-
erwise undergo brace expansion to a lexically
ordered list of all the characters. See the sec-
tion BRACE EXPANSION in the zshexpn manual page.
BSD_ECHO
Make the echo builtin compatible with the BSD
echo(1) command. This disables backslashed escape
sequences in echo strings unless the -e option is
specified.
CDABLE_VARS (-T)
If the argument to a cd command (or an implied cd
with the AUTO_CD option set) is not a directory,
and does not begin with a slash, try to expand the
expression as if it were preceded by a ~ (see
Filename Expansion above).
CHASE_LINKS (-w)
Resolve symbolic links to their true values.
CLOBBER (+C, ksh: +C)
Allows > redirection to truncate existing files,
and >> to create files. Otherwise >! must be used
to truncate a file, and >>! to create a file.
COMPLETE_ALIASES
If set, aliases on the command line are not inter-
nally substituted before completion is attempted.
COMPLETE_IN_WORD
If unset, the cursor is set to the end of the word
if completion is started. Otherwise it stays there
and completion is done from both ends.
CORRECT (-0)
Try to correct the spelling of commands.
CORRECT_ALL (-O)
Try to correct the spelling of all arguments in a
line.
CSH_JUNKIE_HISTORY
A history reference without an event specifier
will always refer to the previous command.
CSH_JUNKIE_LOOPS
Allow loop bodies to take the form "list; end"
instead of "do list; done".
CSH_JUNKIE_QUOTES
Complain if a quoted expression runs off the end
of a line; prevent quoted expressions from con-
taining unescaped newlines.
CSH_NULL_GLOB
If a pattern for filename generation has no
matches, delete the pattern from the argument
list; do not report an error unless all the pat-
terns in a command have no matches. Overrides
NULL_GLOB.
EQUALS
Perform = filename substitution.
ERR_EXIT (-e, ksh: -e)
If a command has a non-zero exit status, execute
the ZERR trap, if set, and exit. This is disabled
while running initialization scripts.
EXEC (+n, ksh: +n)
Do execute commands. Without this option, com-
mands are read and checked for syntax errors, but
not executed.
EXTENDED_GLOB
Treat the #, ~ and ^ characters as part of pat-
terns for filename generation, etc. (An initial
unquoted ~ always produces named directory expan-
sion as in Filename Expansion above.)
EXTENDED_HISTORY
Save beginning and ending timestamps to the his-
tory file. The format of these timestamps is
:<beginning time>:<ending time>:<command>.
FLOW_CONTROL
If this option is unset, output flow control via
start/stop characters (usually assigned to ^S/^Q)
is disabled in the shell's editor.
FUNCTION_ARGZERO
When executing a shell function or sourcing a
script, set $0 temporarily to the name of the
function/script.
GLOB (+F, ksh: +f)
Perform filename generation.
GLOB_ASSIGN
If this option is set, filename generation (glob-
bing) is performed on the right hand side of
scalar parameter assignments of the form
name=pattern (e.g. `param=*'). If the result has
more than one word the parameter will become an
array with those words as arguments. This option
is provided for backwards compatibility only:
globbing is always performed on the right hand
side of array assignments of the form `name=(
value )' (e.g. `param=(*)') and this form is
recommended for clarity; with this option set, it
is not possible to predict whether the result will
be an array or a scalar.
GLOB_COMPLETE
When the current word has a glob pattern, do not
insert all the words resulting from the expansion
but cycle through them like MENU_COMPLETE. If no
matches are found, a `*' is added to the end of
the word or inserted at the cursor if
COMPLETE_IN_WORD is set, and expansion is
attempted again. Using patterns works not only for
files but for all completions, such as options,
user names, etc.
GLOB_DOTS (-4)
Do not require a leading . in a filename to be
matched explicitly.
GLOB_SUBST
Treat any characters resulting from parameter sub-
stitution as being eligible for file expansion and
filename generation, and any characters resulting
from command substitution as being eligible for
filename generation.
HASH_CMDS
Place the location of each command in the hash
table the first time it is executed. If this
option is unset, no path hashing will be done at
all.
HASH_DIRS
Whenever a command is executed, hash the directory
containing it, as well as all directories that
occur earlier in the path. Has no effect if
HASH_CMDS is unset.
HASH_LIST_ALL
Whenever a command completion is attempted, make
sure the entire command path is hashed first.
This makes the first completion slower.
HIST_ALLOW_CLOBBER
Add `|' to output redirections in the history.
This allows history references to clobber files
even when CLOBBER is unset.
HIST_BEEP
Beep when an attempt is made to access a history
entry which isn't there.
HIST_IGNORE_DUPS (-h)
Do not enter command lines into the history list
if they are duplicates of the previous event.
HIST_IGNORE_SPACE (-g)
Do not enter command lines into the history list
if any command on the line begins with a blank.
HIST_NO_STORE
Remove the history (fc -l) command from the his-
tory when invoked.
HIST_REDUCE_BLANKS
Remove superfluous whitespace from each command
line being added to the history list.
HIST_VERIFY
Whenever the user enters a line with history sub-
stitution, don't execute the line directly;
instead, perform history substitution and reload
the line into the editing buffer.
HUP Send the HUP signal to running jobs when the shell
exits.
IGNORE_BRACES (-I)
Do not perform brace expansion.
IGNORE_EOF (-7)
Do not exit on end-of-file. Require the use of
exit or logout instead.
INTERACTIVE (-i, ksh: -i)
This is an interactive shell. This option is set
upon initialisation if the standard input is a tty
and commands are being read from standard input.
(See the discussion of SHIN_STDIN.) This heuris-
tic may be overridden by specifying a state for
this option on the command line. The value of
this option cannot be changed anywhere other than
the command line.
INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS (-k)
Allow comments even in interactive shells.
KSH_ARRAYS
Emulate ksh array handling as closely as possible.
If this option is set, array elements are numbered
from zero, an array parameter without subscript
refers to the first element instead of the whole
array, and braces are required to delimit a sub-
script (``${path[2]}'' rather than just
``$path[2]'').
KSH_OPTION_PRINT
Alters the way options settings are printed.
LIST_AMBIGUOUS
If this option is set, completions are shown only
if the completions don't have a unambiguous prefix
or suffix that could be inserted in the command
line.
LIST_BEEP
Beep on an ambiguous completion.
LIST_TYPES (-X)
When listing files that are possible completions,
show the type of each file with a trailing identi-
fying mark.
LOCAL_OPTIONS
If this option is set at the point of return from
a shell function, all the options (including this
one) which were in force upon entry to the func-
tion are restored. Otherwise, only this option
and the XTRACE and PRINT_EXIT_VALUE options are
restored. Hence if this is explicitly unset by a
shell function the other options in force at the
point of return will remain so.
LOGIN (-l, ksh: -l)
This is a login shell.
LONG_LIST_JOBS (-R)
List jobs in the long format by default.
MAGIC_EQUAL_SUBST
All unquoted arguments of the form
identifier=expression appearing after the command
name have filename expansion (that is, where
expression has a leading `~' or `=') performed on
expression as if it were a parameter assignment.
The argument is not otherwise treated specially:
in other words, it is subsequently treated as a
single word, not as an assignment.
MAIL_WARNING (-U)
Print a warning message if a mail file has been
accessed since the shell last checked.
MARK_DIRS (-8, ksh: -X)
Append a trailing / to all directory names result-
ing from filename generation (globbing).
MENU_COMPLETE (-Y)
On an ambiguous completion, instead of listing
possibilities or beeping, insert the first match
immediately. Then when completion is requested
again, remove the first match and insert the
second match, etc. When there are no more
matches, go back to the first one again.
reverse-menu-complete may be used to loop through
the list in the other direction. This option over-
rides AUTO_MENU.
MONITOR (-m, ksh: -m)
Allow job control. Set by default in interactive
shells.
MULTIOS
Perform implicit tees or cats when multiple
redirections are attempted (see the REDIRECTION
section).
NOMATCH (+3)
If a pattern for filename generation has no
matches, print an error, instead of leaving it
unchanged in the argument list. This also applies
to file expansion of an initial ~ or =.
NOTIFY (-5, ksh: -b)
Report the status of background jobs immediately,
rather than waiting until just before printing a
prompt.
NULL_GLOB (-G)
If a pattern for filename generation has no
matches, delete the pattern from the argument list
instead of reporting an error. Overrides NOMATCH.
NUMERIC_GLOB_SORT
If numeric filenames are matched by a filename
generation pattern, sort the filenames numerically
rather than lexicographically.
OVER_STRIKE
Start up the line editor in overstrike mode.
PATH_DIRS (-Q)
Perform a path search even on command names with
slashes in them. Thus if "/usr/local/bin" is in
the user's path, and he types "X11/xinit", the
command "/usr/local/bin/X11/xinit" will be exe-
cuted (assuming it exists). This applies to the .
builtin as well as to command execution. Commands
explicitly beginning with "./" or "../" are not
subject to path search.
POSIX_BUILTINS
When this option is set the command builtin can be
used to execute shell builtin commands. Parameter
assignments specified before shell functions and
special builtins are kept after the command com-
pletes unless the special builtin is prefixed with
the command builtin. Special builtins are ., :,
break, continue, declare, eval, exit, export,
integer, local, readonly, return, set, shift,
source, times, trap and unset.
PRINT_EIGHT_BIT
Print eight bit characters literally in completion
lists, etc. This option is not necessary if your
system correctly returns the printability of eight
bit characters (see ctype(3)).
PRINT_EXIT_VALUE (-1)
Print the exit value of programs with non-zero
exit status.
PRIVILEGED (-p, ksh: -p)
Turn on privileged mode. This is enabled automati-
cally on startup if the effective user (group) id
is not equal to the real user (group) id. Turning
this option off causes the effective user and
group ids to be set to the real user and group
ids. This option disables sourcing user startup
files. If zsh is invoked as sh or ksh with this
option set, /etc/suid_profile is sourced (after
/etc/profile on interactive shells). Sourcing
~/.profile is disabled and the contents of the ENV
variable is ignored. This option cannot be changed
using the -m option of setopt and unsetopt and
changing it inside a function always changes it
globally regardless of the LOCAL_OPTIONS option.
PROMPT_CR (+V)
Print a carriage return just before printing a
prompt in the line editor.
PROMPT_SUBST
If set, parameter expansion, command substitution
and arithmetic expansion is performed in prompts.
PUSHD_IGNORE_DUPS
Don't push multiple copies of the same directory
onto the directory stack.
PUSHD_MINUS
See popd below.
PUSHD_SILENT (-E)
Do not print the directory stack after pushd or
popd.
PUSHD_TO_HOME (-D)
Have pushd with no arguments act like pushd $HOME.
RC_EXPAND_PARAM (-P)
Array expansions of the form foo${xx}bar, where
the parameter xx is set to (a b c), are substi-
tuted with fooabar foobbar foocbar instead of the
default fooa b cbar.
RC_QUOTES
Allow the character sequence '' to signify a sin-
gle quote within singly quoted strings.
RCS (+f)
After /etc/zshenv is sourced on startup, source
the /etc/zshrc, .zshrc, /etc/zlogin, .zlogin, and
.zlogout files, as described in STARTUP/SHUTDOWN
FILES. If this option is unset, only the
/etc/zshenv file is sourced.
REC_EXACT (-S)
In completion, recognize exact matches even if
they are ambiguous.
RM_STAR_SILENT (-H)
Do not query the user before executing "rm *" or
"rm path/*".
SH_FILE_EXPANSION
Perform filename expansion (e.g., ~ expansion)
before parateter expansion, command substitution,
arithmetic expansion and brace expansion. If this
option is unset, it is performed after brace
expansion, so things like ``~$USERNAME''
``~{pfalstad,rc}'' will work.
SH_GLOB
Disables the special meaning of `(', `|', `)' and
'<' for globbing the result of parameter and com-
mand substitutions, and in some other places where
the shell accepts patterns. This option is set if
zsh is invoked as sh or ksh.
SHIN_STDIN (-s, ksh: -s)
Commands are being read from the standard input.
Commands are read from standard input if no com-
mand is specified with -c and no file of commands
is specified. If SHIN_STDIN is set explicitly on
the command line, any argument that would other-
wise have been taken as a file to run will instead
be treated as a normal positional parameter. Note
that setting or unsetting this option on the com-
mand line does not necessarily affect the state
the option will have while the shell is running -
that is purely an indicator of whether on not com-
mands are actually being read from standard input.
The value of this option cannot be changed any-
where other than the command line.
SH_OPTION_LETTERS
If this option is set the shell tries to interpret
single letter options (which are used with set and
setopt) like ksh does. This also affects the
value of the - special parameter.
SHORT_LOOPS
Allow the short forms of for, select, if, and
function constructs.
SH_WORD_SPLIT (-y)
See Parameter Expansion.
SINGLE_COMMAND (-t, ksh: -t)
If the shell is reading from standard input, it
exits after a single command has been executed.
This also makes the shell non-interactive, unless
the INTERACTIVE option is explicitly set on the
command line. The value of this option cannot be
changed anywhere other than the command line.
SINGLE_LINE_ZLE (-M)
Use single-line command line editing instead of
multi-line.
SUN_KEYBOARD_HACK (-L)
If a line ends with a backquote, and there are an
odd number of backquotes on the line, ignore the
trailing backquote. This is useful on some key-
boards where the return key is too small, and the
backquote key lies annoyingly close to it.
UNSET (+u, ksh: +u)
Treat unset parameters as if they were empty when
substituting. Otherwise they are treated as an
error.
VERBOSE (-v, ksh: -v)
Print shell input lines as they are read.
XTRACE (-x, ksh: -x)
Print commands and their arguments as they are
executed.
ZLE (-Z)
Use the zsh line editor.

Also note:
-A Used by set for setting arrays
-c Used on the command line to specify a single command
-m Used by setopt for pattern-matching option setting
-o Used in all places to allow use of long option names
Note that the use of -m in setopt and unsetopt, allowing the
specification of option names by glob patterns, clashes with
the use of -m for setting the MONITOR option.
NOTES
Source for zsh is available in the SUNWzshS package.
