Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles ksh but includes many enhancements. Zsh has comand line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features.
Zsh was originally written by Paul Falstad <pjf@cts.com>
.
Zsh is now maintained by the members of the zsh workers mailing list
<zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu>
. The development is currently
coordinated by Andrew Main (Zefram) <zefram@fysh.org>
.
The coordinator can be contacted at <coordinator@zsh.org>
,
but matters relating to the code should generally go to the
mailing list.
Zsh is available from the following anonymous FTP sites. These mirror
sites are kept frequently up to date. The sites marked with (G)
may be mirroring ftp.math.gatech.edu
instead of the primary site.
The sites marked with (H) may be mirroring ftp.cs.elte.hu
instead of the primary site.
