Subject: _brace_parameter: misleading help text for #
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2021 15:35:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87im12pj3i.fsf@vuxu.org> (raw)
Hi,
echo ${(<TAB> shows
...
# -- evaluate as numeric expression
...
zshexpn(1) says:
# Evaluate the resulting words as numeric expressions and output
the characters corresponding to the resulting integer.
I think the help text is missing the crucial bit here:
output the characters corresponding to the resulting integer.
Perhaps
"#:evaluate as numeric expression and interpret as character codes"
or so would be a better description.
Thanks,
--
