Zsh Modules
***********

Description
===========

Some optional parts of zsh are in modules, separate from the core of
the shell.  Each of these modules may be linked in to the shell at
build time, or can be dynamically linked while the shell is running if
the installation supports this feature.  The modules that are bundled
with the zsh distribution are:

zsh/cap
     Builtins for manipulating POSIX.1e (POSIX.6) capability
     (privilege) sets.

zsh/clone
     A builtin that can clone a running shell onto another terminal.

zsh/compctl
     The compctl builtin for controlling completion.

zsh/complete
     The basic completion code.

zsh/complist
     Completion listing extensions.

zsh/computil
     A module with utility builtins needed for the shell function based
     completion system.

zsh/deltochar
     A ZLE function duplicating EMACS' zap-to-char.

zsh/example
     An example of how to write a module.

zsh/files
     Some basic file manipulation commands as builtins.

zsh/mapfile
     Access to external files via a special associative array.

zsh/mathfunc
     Standard scientific functions for use in mathematical evaluations.

zsh/parameter
     Access to internal hash tables via special associative arrays.

zsh/sched
     A builtin that provides a timed execution facility within the
     shell.

zsh/stat
     A builtin command interface to the stat system call.

zsh/termcap
     Interface to the termcap database.

zsh/terminfo
     Interface to the terminfo database.

zsh/zftp
     A builtin FTP client.

zsh/zle
     The Zsh Line Editor, including the bindkey and vared builtins.

zsh/zleparameter
     Access to internals of the Zsh Line Editor via parameters.

zsh/zprof
     A module allowing profiling for shell functions.

zsh/zpty
     A builtin for starting a command in a pseudo-terminal.

zsh/zutil
     Some utility builtins, e.g. the one for supporting configuration
     via styles.
