Output hexadecimal numbers in the standard C format, for example `tt(0xFF)'

Report the status of background and suspended jobs before exiting a shell

tt(NO_CHECK_JOBS) is best used only in combination with tt(NO_HUP), else
such jobs will be killed automatically.
The check is omitted if the commands run from the previous command line
included a `tt(jobs)' command, since it is assumed the user is aware that
there are background or suspended jobs. A `tt(jobs)' command run from the
tt(precmd) function is not counted for this purpose.

Try to correct the spelling of commands.
Note that, when the tt(HASH_LIST_ALL) option is not set or when some
directories in the path are not readable, this may falsely report spelling
errors the first time some commands are used.
pindex(GLOB_COMPLETE)
item(tt(GLOB_COMPLETE))(
When the current word has a glob pattern, do not insert all the words
resulting from the expansion but generate matches as for completion and
cycle through them like tt(MENU_COMPLETE). The matches are generated as if
a `tt(*)' was added to the end of the word, or inserted at the cursor when
tt(COMPLETE_IN_WORD) is set. This actually uses pattern matching, not
globbing, so it works not only for files but for any completion, such as
options, user names, etc.

This option works when tt(AUTO_LIST) or tt(BASH_AUTO_LIST) is also
set. If there is an unambiguous prefix to insert on the command line,
that is done without a completion list being displayed; in other
words, auto-listing behaviour only takes place when nothing would be
inserted. In the case of tt(BASH_AUTO_LIST), this means that the list
will be delayed to the third call of the function.

pindex(LIST_BEEP)
cindex(beep, ambiguous completion)
cindex(completion, beep on ambiguous)
item(tt(LIST_BEEP) <D>)(
Beep on an ambiguous completion. More accurately, this forces the
completion widgets to return status 1 on an ambiguous completion, which
causes the shell to beep if the option tt(BEEP) is also set; this may
be modified if completion is called from a user-defined widget.

pindex(CSH_JUNKIE_QUOTES)
cindex(csh, quoting style)
cindex(quoting style, csh)
item(tt(CSH_JUNKIE_QUOTES) <C>)(
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(`)'
or `tt(")' (and `tt(\)' itself no longer needs escaping).
Command substitutions are only expanded once, and cannot be nested.

such redirections fail (see noderef(Redirection)).

insert the first match immediately. Then when completion is requested
again, remove the first match and insert the second match, etc.

tt(echo foo=~/bar:~/rod), both occurrences of tt(~) would be replaced.
Note that this happens anyway with tt(typeset) and similar statements.
This option respects the setting of the tt(KSH_TYPESET) option. In other
words, if both options are in effect, arguments looking like
assignments will not undergo wordsplitting.

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.

Emulate bf(ksh) function autoloading. This means that when a function is

This also applies to the tt(.) builtin.

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)'.
