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. |
