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.
