The Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh was created by Paul Falstad in 1990 while he was a student at Princeton University.

Zsh is an extended Bourne shell with many improvements, including some features of Bash, ksh, and tcsh. It offers functionality such as programmable command-line completion, extended file globbing, improved variable/array handling, and themeable prompts.

Features include:

• Programmable command-line completion that can help the user type both options and arguments for most used commands, with out-of-the-box support for several hundred commands
• Sharing of command history among all running shells
• Extended file globbing allows file specification without needing to run an external program such as find
• Improved variable/array handling
• Editing of multi-line commands in a single buffer
• Spelling correction and autofill of command names (and optionally arguments, assumed to be file names)
• Various compatibility modes, e.g. Zsh can pretend to be a Bourne shell when run as /bin/sh
• Themeable prompts, including the ability to put prompt information on the right side of the screen and have it auto-hide when typing a long command
• Loadable modules, providing among other things: full TCP and Unix domain socket controls, an FTP client, and extended math functions.
• The built-in where command. Works like the which command but shows all locations of the target command in the directories specified in $PATH rather than only the one that will be used.
• Named directories. This allows the user to set up shortcuts such as ~mydir, which then behave the way ~ and ~user do.
