This document has been produced from the texinfo file `zsh.texi', included in the `Doc' sub-directory of the Zsh distribution.
The texinfo guide was originally put together by Jonathan Hardwick,
jch@cs.cmu.edu, who converted the `zsh.1' file distributed
with zsh v2.5.0. After a period of neglect it was updated by Clive Messer,
clive@epos.demon.co.uk to reflect the many changes made to both the
shell, the original `zsh.1', (which due to its size and ever
increasing number of options has since been split into several man-pages:
`zsh.1', `zshall.1', `zshbuiltins.1', `zshcompctl.1',
`zshcompctl.1', `zshexpn.1', `zshmisc.1', `zshoptions.1',
`zshparam.1', `zshzle.1'), and also now includes other useful
information from the META-FAQ.
Whilst this guide for the most part duplicates the man-pages, (suitably marked-up into texinfo), and is not intended to replace them, it does offer several advantages over them, not least that the texinfo source may be converted into several formats, e.g.,
makeinfo zsh.texi is used to
produce the Info documentation.
texi2dvi zsh.texi will output `zsh.dvi' which can
then be processed with dvips and optionally gs (Ghostscript) to
produce a nicely formatted printed guide.
http://sunsite.auc.dk/zsh/Doc/index.html. Note that the on-line
guide may describe a different (usually more recent) version of Zsh.
(The HTML version is produced with texi2html, which may be obtained
from http://wwwcn.cern.ch/dci/texi2html/. The command is
`texi2html -split_chapter -expandinfo zsh.texi'.)
For those who do not have the necessary tools to process texinfo, precompiled documentation, (PostScript, dvi, info and html formats), is available from the zsh archive site or its mirrors in the file, `zsh-doc.tar.gz'. (See section Availability, for a list of sites.)
