From 8784bbe97c078f13c91cc220eb0e13c1a92f1655 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stephenson Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2004 15:59:07 +0000 Subject: 20126: tidy up before 4.2.1 20127: tweaked version of Wayne's patch to reexand prompts --- Etc/FEATURES | 108 ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 108 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 Etc/FEATURES (limited to 'Etc/FEATURES') diff --git a/Etc/FEATURES b/Etc/FEATURES deleted file mode 100644 index 95a0d617c..000000000 --- a/Etc/FEATURES +++ /dev/null @@ -1,108 +0,0 @@ ------------- -ZSH FEATURES ------------- - -very close to ksh/sh grammar, with csh additions -most features of ksh, bash, and tcsh -can emulate ksh or POSIX sh -100 builtins, 145 options, 166 key bindings -short for loops, ex: for i (*.c) echo $i -select -shell functions -autoloaded functions (loaded from a file when they are first referenced) -conditional expressions (test builtin, [ ... ], and ksh-style [[ ... ]]) -global aliases (may be expanded anywhere on the line) -directory stack access with ~num -process substitution (vi =(cmd) edits the output of cmd) -generalized pipes (ls foo >>(cmd1) 2>>(cmd2) pipes stdout to cmd1 - and stderr to cmd2) -arithmetic expressions -advanced globbing: - ls **/file searches recursively for "file" in subdirectories - ls file<20-> matches file20, file30, file100, etc. - ls *.(c|pro) matches *.c and *.pro - ls *(R) matches only world-readable files - ls *.c~lex.c matches all .c files except lex.c - ls (#a1)README matches README with one error, e.g. RADME, REEDME, RAEDME - ls (#ia1)README same but case insensitive -qualifiers in parentheses after globbing expression: - ls *(*@) matches executable files/directories or symlinks - ls *(L0f.go-w.) matches all zero-length files not group or world writable - ls *(om[2]) matches the two most recently modified files -null command shorthands: - "< file" is same as "more file" is same as "cat >file" - ">> file" is same as "cat >>file" -ksh-style coprocesses -automatic file stream teeing (ls >foo >bar puts output in two places) -chpwd() function run every time you change directory (useful for - updating the status line) -job control -csh-style history -full vi line editing, including "c2w" and "y$" and such things -full emacs line editing -line editor is programmable via shell functions - - access and manipulate editor state via builtins and parameters - - user-defined `widgets' behave like other editor functions - - keymap customisation - - example functions provided -incremental history search -magic-space history -spelling correction -array parameters -associative array parameters -tie parameters a la path/PATH, e.g. ld_library_path/LD_LIBRARY_PATH -$MACHTYPE, $VENDOR and $OSTYPE identify the host machine -$LINENO, $RANDOM, $SECONDS, $cdpath, $COLUMNS, $fignore, $HISTCHARS, $mailpath -$UID, $EUID, $GID, $EGID and $USERNAME can be assigned to -with autocd option, typing a directory name by itself is the same as - typing "cd dirname" -incremental path hashing -automatic process time reporting for commands that run over a certain limit -full tcsh-style prompt substitution plus conditional prompt expressions -utmp login/logout reporting -with histverify option, performing csh-style history expansions causes the - input line to be brought up for editing instead of being executed -with sunkeyboardhack option, accidentally typed trailing ` characters - are removed from the input line (for those of you with Sun keyboards :-) ) -"cd old new" replaces "old" with "new" in directory string -generalized argument completion, new system based on shell functions: - - highly context sensitive - - large (and I mean large) set of completions supplied, from a2ps to zstyle - - partial file path completion - - spelling correction and approximate completion of any completable word - - highly configurable expansion of shell arguments - - completion list colouring [`colorizing' for you lot over there] - - selection of completion elements with the cursor - - full scrolling of lists (in optional module) - - completion of words from the history list - - `styles' feature for versatile configuration - - `tags' feature for choosing completions preferentially - - `match' specifications, allowing e.g. - - variant forms: NO_glob, noglob, _NOGLOB_ all from the keyword glob - - partial-word matches with arbitrary anchors, e.g. - z_t.c -> zle_tricky.c - c.u.s -> comp.unix.shell - - complete control over case-insensitive matching - - can be defined globally or for individual completions - - bindable special completion functions -menu completion: pressing TAB repeatedly cycles through the possible matches -prompt on right side of screen -directory stacks -history datestamps and execution time records -command scheduling (like at(1), but in the shell's context) -tty mode freezing -up to 9 startup files (but you only need 1 or 2) -really 8-bit clean, and we mean it this time -which -a cmd lists all occurrences of "cmd" in the path -floating point support -dynamically loadable binary modules, supplied modules include - - an FTP client which runs in the shell, with function suite - - math functions - - builtin interface to the `stat' system command - - builtin versions of standard commands (mv, ln, etc.) for emergencies - - special parameters to access internal state of hash tables etc. - - special associative array to access contents of files directly - - profiler for shell functions - - a pseudo-terminal handler, for purposes like `expect' - - builtins for interaction with termcap and terminfo -- cgit 1.4.1
