Package zsh-helpfiles-4.3.10-1

The helpfiles utility, found in the Util directory of the distribution, is a Perl program that can be used to process the zsh manual to produce a separate help file for each shell builtin and for many other shell features as well. The autoloadable run-help function, found in Func- tions/Misc, searches for these helpfiles and performs several other tests to produce the most complete help possible for the command. This package installs a corrected version of run-help that will not clobber the $HELPDIR variable that at least one other (unrelated) fink package declares.

Fink automatically issues the command "autoload -U run-help" upon z-shell startup. Then, for example, issuing "run-help echo" will enable you to view a formatted helpfile extracted from the zsh man pages for the zsh builtin function echo. The environment variable $HELPDIR should point to /sw/share/zsh/zsh_help; this too is set up automatically by fink.
