sect(Specifying Options)
cindex(options, specifying)
Options are primarily referred to by name.
These names are case insensitive and underscores are ignored.
For example, `tt(allexport)' is equivalent to `tt(A__lleXP_ort)'.

The sense of an option name may be inverted by preceding it with
`tt(no)', so `tt(setopt No_Beep)' is equivalent to `tt(unsetopt beep)'.
This inversion can only be done once, so `tt(nonobeep)' is em(not)
a synonym for `tt(beep)'.  Similarly, `tt(tify)' is not a synonym for
`tt(nonotify)' (the inversion of `tt(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 used to emulate bf(sh)/bf(ksh) (used when the
tt(SH_OPTION_LETTERS) option is set).
The single letter options can be used on the shell command line,
or with the tt(set), tt(setopt) and tt(unsetopt)
builtins, as normal Unix options preceded by `tt(-)'.

The sense of the single letter options may be inverted by using
`tt(PLUS())' instead of `tt(-)'.
Some of the single letter option names refer to an option being off,
in which case the inversion of that name refers to the option being on.
For example, `tt(PLUS()n)' is the short name of `tt(exec)', and
`tt(-n)' is the short name of its inversion, `tt(noexec)'.

In strings of single letter options supplied to the shell at startup,
trailing whitespace will be ignored; for example the string `tt(-f    )'
will be treated just as `tt(-f)', but the string `tt(-f i)' is an error.
This is because many systems which implement the `tt(#!)' mechanism for
calling scripts do not strip trailing whitespace.

sect(Description of Options)
cindex(options, description)
In the following list, options set by default in all emulations are marked
<D>; those set by default only in csh, ksh, sh, or zsh emulations are marked
<C>, <K>, <S>, <Z> as appropriate.  When listing options (by `tt(setopt)',
`tt(unsetopt)', `tt(set -o)' or `tt(set +o)'), those turned on by default
appear in the list prefixed with `tt(no)'.  Hence (unless
tt(KSH_OPTION_PRINT) is set), `tt(setopt)' shows all options whose settings
are changed from the default.

When changing to a directory containing a path segment `tt(..)' which would
otherwise be treated as canceling the previous segment in the path (in
other words, `tt(foo/..)' would be removed from the path, or if `tt(..)' is
the first part of the path, the last part of tt($PWD) would be deleted),
instead resolve the path to the physical directory.  This option is
overridden by tt(CHASE_LINKS).

For example, suppose tt(/foo/bar) is a link to the directory tt(/alt/rod).
Without this option set, `tt(cd /foo/bar/..)' changes to tt(/foo); with it
set, it changes to tt(/alt).  The same applies if the current directory
is tt(/foo/bar) and `tt(cd ..)' is used.  Note that all other symbolic
links in the path will also be resolved.

globbing, so it works not only for files but for any completion, such as
options, user names, etc.

case-insensitive or anchored matching) cannot be used.  This limitation

Respect multibyte characters when found in strings.
When this option is set, strings are examined using the
system library to determine how many bytes form a character, depending
on the current locale.  This affects the way characters are counted in
pattern matching, parameter values and various delimiters.

The option is on by default if the shell was compiled with
tt(MULTIBYTE_SUPPORT) except in tt(sh) emulation; otherwise it is off by
default and has no effect if turned on.  The mode is off in tt(sh)
emulation for compatibility but for interactive use may need to be
turned on if the terminal interprets multibyte characters.

If the option is off a single byte is always treated as a single
character.  This setting is designed purely for examining strings
known to contain raw bytes or other values that may not be characters
in the current locale.  It is not necessary to unset the option merely
because the character set for the current locale does not contain multibyte
characters.

The option does not affect the shell's editor,  which always uses the
locale to determine multibyte characters.  This is because
the character set displayed by the terminal emulator is independent of
shell settings.

so makes it possible to lose history entries if zsh gets interrupted
during the save.

When writing out a copy of the history file, zsh preserves the old
file's permissions and group information, but will refuse to write
out a new file if it would change the history file's owner.

This option both imports new commands from the history file, and also
causes your typed commands to be appended to the history file (the
latter is like specifying tt(INC_APPEND_HISTORY)).
The history lines are also output with timestamps ala
tt(EXTENDED_HISTORY) (which makes it easier to find the spot where
we left off reading the file after it gets re-written).

By default, history movement commands visit the imported lines as
well as the local lines, but you can toggle this on and off with the
set-local-history zle binding.  It is also possible to create a zle
widget that will make some commands ignore imported commands, and
some include them.

If you find that you want more control over when commands
get imported, you may wish to turn tt(SHARE_HISTORY) off,
tt(INC_APPEND_HISTORY) on, and then manually import
commands whenever you need them using `tt(fc -RI)'.

When set, matches performed with the tt(=~) operator will set the
tt(BASH_REMATCH) array variable, instead of the default tt(MATCH) and
tt(match) variables.  The first element of the tt(BASH_REMATCH) array
will contain the entire matched text and subsequent elements will contain
extracted substrings.  This option makes more sense when tt(KSH_ARRAYS) is
also set, so that the entire matched portion is stored at index 0 and the
first substring is at index 1.  Without this option, the tt(MATCH) variable
contains the entire matched text and the tt(match) array variable contains
substrings.

Changes the rules for single- and double-quoted text to match that of
bf(csh).  These require that embedded newlines be preceded by a backslash;
unescaped newlines will cause an error message.
In double-quoted strings, it is made impossible to escape `tt($)', `tt(`)'

Command substitutions are only expanded once, and cannot be nested.

Emulate bf(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 subscript (`tt(${path[2]})' rather

Emulate bf(ksh) function autoloading.  This means that when a function is
autoloaded, the corresponding file is merely executed, and must define
the function itself.  (By default, the function is defined to the contents
of the file.  However, the most common bf(ksh)-style case - of the file
containing only a simple definition of the function - is always handled
in the bf(ksh)-compatible manner.)

Alters the way arguments to the tt(typeset) family of commands, including
tt(declare), tt(export), tt(float), tt(integer), tt(local) and
tt(readonly), are processed.  Without this option, zsh will perform normal
word splitting after command and parameter expansion in arguments of an

cindex(arrays, behaviour of index zero)
item(tt(KSH_ZERO_SUBSCRIPT))(
Treat use of a subscript of value zero in array or string expressions as a
reference to the first element, i.e. the element that usually has the
subscript 1.  Ignored if tt(KSH_ARRAYS) is also set.

If neither this option nor tt(KSH_ARRAYS) is set, accesses to an element of
an array or string with subscript zero return an empty element or string,
while attempts to set element zero of an array or string are treated as an
error.  However, attempts to set an otherwise valid subscript range that
includes zero will succeed.  For example, if tt(KSH_ZERO_SUBSCRIPT) is not
set,

example(array[0]=(element))

is an error, while

example(array[0,1]=(element))

is not and will replace the first element of the array.

This option is for compatibility with older versions of the shell and
is not recommended in new code.

When this option is set, only the ASCII characters tt(a) to tt(z), tt(A) to
tt(Z), tt(0) to tt(9) and tt(_) may be used in identifiers (names
of shell parameters and modules).

When the option is unset and multibyte character support is enabled (i.e. it
is compiled in and the option tt(MULTIBYTE) is set), then additionally any
alphanumeric characters in the local character set may be used in
identifiers.  Note that scripts and functions written with this feature are
not portable, and also that both options must be set before the script
or function is parsed; setting them during execution is not sufficient
as the syntax var(variable)tt(=)var(value) has already been parsed as
a command rather than an assignment.

If multibyte character support is not compiled into the shell this option is
ignored; all octets with the top bit set may be used in identifiers.
This is non-standard but is the traditional zsh behaviour.

Turn on privileged mode. This is enabled automatically 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 `tt(sh)' or `tt(ksh)' with this option set,
tt(/etc/suid_profile) is sourced (after tt(/etc/profile) on interactive
shells). Sourcing tt(~/.profile) is disabled and the contents of the
tt(ENV) variable is ignored. This option cannot be changed using the
tt(-m) option of tt(setopt) and tt(unsetopt), and changing it inside a

Commands are being read from the standard input.
Commands are read from standard input if no command is specified with
tt(-c) and no file of commands is specified.  If tt(SHIN_STDIN)

any argument that would otherwise have been
taken as a file to run will instead be treated as a normal positional

Note that setting or unsetting this option on the command 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 commands are
em(actually) being read from standard input.
