+setopt [ {+|-}options | {+|-}o option_name ] [ -m ] [ name ... ]
+       Set  the  options  for  the shell.  All options specified either
+       with flags or by name are set.
+
+       If no arguments are supplied, the names of all options currently
+       set  are printed.  The form is chosen so as to minimize the dif-
+       ferences from the default options for the current emulation (the
+       default  emulation  being  native  zsh,  shown  as <Z> in zshop-
+       tions(1)).  Options that are on by default for the emulation are
+       shown  with  the prefix no only if they are off, while other op-
+       tions are shown without the prefix no and only if they  are  on.
+       In  addition  to  options  changed from the default state by the
+       user, any options activated automatically by the shell (for  ex-
+       ample,  SHIN_STDIN  or  INTERACTIVE)  will be shown in the list.
+       The format is further modified by the  option  KSH_OPTION_PRINT,
+       however  the  rationale for choosing options with or without the
+       no prefix remains the same in this case.
+
+       If the -m flag is given the  arguments  are  taken  as  patterns
+       (which  should  be  quoted  to protect them from filename expan-
+       sion), and all options with names matching  these  patterns  are
+       set.
+
+       Note  that  a bad option name does not cause execution of subse-
+       quent shell code to be aborted; this is behaviour  is  different
+       from  that  of  `set  -o'.  This is because set is regarded as a
+       special builtin by the POSIX standard, but setopt is not.
