NAME

       fizsh - Fizsh is a user friendly front end to zsh.

SYNOPSIS

       fizsh [OPTIONS] ... [ARGUMENTS] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Fizsh provides zsh with interactive syntax-highlighting and a MATLAB-like history-search. Fizsh is
       intended to look and feel similar to fish. A distinguishing feature is that fizsh can handle Bourne
       compatible syntax. This is because fizsh is a front end to zsh. Fish does not handle Bourne compatible
       syntax.

CONFIGURATION

       "$HOME/.fizsh/" is the directory where fizsh keeps its local configuration files. The file
       "$HOME/.fizsh/.fizshrc" serves as the user's local startup script. Local customizations, such as aliases
       and functions, can be added here. This file allows the same syntax as "$HOME/.zshrc" under zsh.
       "$HOME/.fizsh/.fizsh_history" is the name of fizsh's history file. The other files in "$HOME/.fizsh" are
       installed when the user runs "/usr/bin/fizsh" for the first time. These files are automatically
       overwritten after installing a newer version of Fizsh. The user may call the function "fizsh-reinstall"
       to force a reinstallation of his local configuration files.

       Compared to the default configuration of zsh, fizsh additionally sets the options "append_history",
       "inc_append_history", "hist_ignore_all_dups", "hist_reduce_blanks", "hist_ignore_space",
       "interactive_comments", "correct", "no_beep" and "prompt_subst".

       For further configuration details consult zsh's man pages

OPTIONS

       Fizsh is usually invoked without options and without command-line arguments.

       The only supported command-line options are "--version", "--help", "--login", shorthands for these
       commands are "-v", "-h", "-l" respectively. "--version" yields fizsh's version number. "--help" causes
       fizsh to print brief usage information. "--login" causes fizsh to run as a login shell.

       If invoked with other command-line options and/or arguments fizsh will silently revert to zsh.  =head1
       BUGS

       There are no known bugs at the moment. Bug reports, bug fixes and other comments are welcome.

NOTES

       Fizsh will run as a login shell if it is invoked with the "-l", or if it is started by the "login"
       program. If fizsh is run as a login shell "$0" will be set to "-fizsh". "$0" will be "fizsh" otherwise.
