Also note: } } 0 516 Z% grep setuid /tmp/zshall.1 } 1 517 Z% Um, man1/zshall.1, is just a wrapper that contains a whole lot of .so commands to read in the other sections. So unless /tmp/zshall.1 is the output of "man zshall" or is a copy of e.g. cat1/zshall.1, you're not going to find anything interesting. Try "grep -i uid zshparam.1" for example. The older the part of the zsh manual you're looking at (and the EUID parameter is *really* old) the more likely it is to have been written for the benefit of non- programmer college freshmen, not people who would have any idea what "setuid" means or even what a system call is ... and I don't think it's reasonable to expect that the manual for an interactive shell would contain a reference to a specific system call in any case.
