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 and the original zsh.1
, and to include other useful
information from the META-FAQ
.
The texinfo guide is now automatically generated, as are the man pages, from the Yodl source included in the zsh distribution.
The texinfo source may be converted into several formats:
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.
<mdb@cdc.noaa.gov
, maintains an HTML version of this
guide at http://www.peak.org/zsh/Doc/zsh_toc.html
.
(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.)
