It already says where to look. For the meaning of the other flags, see zshoptions(1). >> with "set" and another for the long names for "set -o". > Ah!=C2=A0 Another thing I missed.=C2=A0 It's far from clear that they'= re even=20 > talking about single-letter options.=C2=A0 Why not say that? That wouldn't hurt, but zshoptions(1) goes into this at some length. Some options also have one or more single letter names. There are two sets of single letter options: one used by default, and another used to emulate sh/ksh (used when the SH_OPTION_LETTERS option is set). The single letter options can be used on the shell command line, or with the `set', `setopt' and `unsetopt' builtins, as normal Unix options preceded by `-'. The sense of the single letter options may be inverted by using `+' instead of `-'. Some of the single letter option names refer to an option being off, in which case the inversion of that name refers to the option being on. For example, `+n' is the short name of `exec', and `-n' is the short name of its inversion, `noexec'. > I spent about=20 > two hours reading, experimenting, re-writing, trying to get every bit = of=20 > information out of that page and I missed 'set -A' (by itself) and=20 > single letter options entirely. The synopsis makes it quite clear that -A and +A can be used alone. set ... [ {+|-}A [ name ] ] ... The square brackets indicate that the enclosed items are optional. Thus the "name" option-argument is optional when using -A or +A, and -A and +A are themselves optional. --=20 vq
