+enable [ -afmprs ] name ...
+ Enable the named hash table elements, presumably disabled ear-
+ lier with disable. The default is to enable builtin commands.
+ The -a option causes enable to act on regular or global aliases.
+ The -s option causes enable to act on suffix aliases. The -f
+ option causes enable to act on shell functions. The -r option
+ causes enable to act on reserved words. Without arguments all
+ enabled hash table elements from the corresponding hash table
+ are printed. With the -m flag the arguments are taken as pat-
+ terns (should be quoted) and all hash table elements from the
+ corresponding hash table matching these patterns are enabled.
+ Enabled objects can be disabled with the disable builtin com-
+ mand.
+
+ enable -p reenables patterns disabled with disable -p. Note
+ that it does not override globbing options; for example, `enable
+ -p "~"' does not cause the pattern character ~ to be active un-
+ less the EXTENDED_GLOB option is also set. To enable all possi-
+ ble patterns (so that they may be individually disabled with
+ disable -p), use `setopt EXTENDED_GLOB KSH_GLOB NO_SH_GLOB'.
