-q：仅从终端读取一个字符，若该字符为'y'或'Y'则将变量设为'y'，否则设为'n'。带有此标志时，只有当字符为'y'或'Y'时返回状态才为0。此选项可与超时（见-t）一起使用；如果读取超时或碰到文件结尾(End of File)，返回状态2。除非指定了-u或-p，否则输入来自终端。此选项也可在zle小部件中使用。
-k [ num ]：仅读取一个（或num个）字符。所有字符都赋值给第一个变量，不分割单词。当-q存在时，此标志被忽略。除非使用了-u或-p选项，否则从终端读取输入。此选项也可以在zle小部件中使用。注意，只管助记符是'key'，此选项确实读取完整的字符，如果设置了MULTIBYTE选项，字符可能由多个字节组成。
read [ -rszpqAclneE ] [ -t [ num ] ] [ -k [ num ] ] [ -d delim ]
[ -u n ] [ [name][?prompt] ] [ name ... ]Read one line and break it into fields using the characters in $IFS as separators, except as noted below. The first field is assigned to the first name, the second field to the second name, etc., with leftover fields assigned to the last name. If name is omitted then REPLY is used for scalars and reply for arrays.-rRaw mode: a ‘\’ at the end of a line does not signify line continuation and backslashes in the line don’t quote the following character and are not removed.-sDon’t echo back characters if reading from the terminal.-qRead only one character from the terminal and set name to ‘y’ if this character was ‘y’ or ‘Y’ and to ‘n’ otherwise. With this flag set the return status is zero only if the character was ‘y’ or ‘Y’. This option may be used with a timeout (see -t); if the read times out, or encounters end of file, status 2 is returned. Input is read from the terminal unless one of -u or -p is present. This option may also be used within zle widgets.-k [ num ]Read only one (or num) characters. All are assigned to the first name, without word splitting. This flag is ignored when -q is present. Input is read from the terminal unless one of -u or -p is present. This option may also be used within zle widgets.Note that despite the mnemonic ‘key’ this option does read full characters, which may consist of multiple bytes if the option MULTIBYTE is set.-zRead one entry from the editor buffer stack and assign it to the first name, without word splitting. Text is pushed onto the stack with ‘print -z’ or with push-line from the line editor (see Zsh Line Editor). This flag is ignored when the -k or -q flags are present.-e-EThe input read is printed (echoed) to the standard output. If the -e flag is used, no input is assigned to the parameters.-AThe first name is taken as the name of an array and all words are assigned to it.-c-lThese flags are allowed only if called inside a function used for completion (specified with the -K flag to compctl). If the -c flag is given, the words of the current command are read. If the -l flag is given, the whole line is assigned as a scalar. If both flags are present, -l is used and -c is ignored.-nTogether with -c, the number of the word the cursor is on is read. With -l, the index of the character the cursor is on is read. Note that the command name is word number 1, not word 0, and that when the cursor is at the end of the line, its character index is the length of the line plus one.-u nInput is read from file descriptor n.-pInput is read from the coprocess.-d delimInput is terminated by the first character of delim instead of by newline.-t [ num ]Test if input is available before attempting to read. If num is present, it must begin with a digit and will be evaluated to give a number of seconds, which may be a floating point number; in this case the read times out if input is not available within this time. If num is not present, it is taken to be zero, so that read returns immediately if no input is available. If no input is available, return status 1 and do not set any variables.This option is not available when reading from the editor buffer with -z, when called from within completion with -c or -l, with -q which clears the input queue before reading, or within zle where other mechanisms should be used to test for input.Note that read does not attempt to alter the input processing mode. The default mode is canonical input, in which an entire line is read at a time, so usually ‘read -t’ will not read anything until an entire line has been typed. However, when reading from the terminal with -k input is processed one key at a time; in this case, only availability of the first character is tested, so that e.g. ‘read -t -k 2’ can still block on the second character. Use two instances of ‘read -t -k’ if this is not what is wanted.If the first argument contains a ‘?’, the remainder of this word is used as a prompt on standard error when the shell is interactive.The value (exit status) of read is 1 when an end-of-file is encountered, or when -c or -l is present and the command is not called from a compctl function, or as described for -q. Otherwise the value is 0.The behavior of some combinations of the -k, -p, -q, -u and -z flags is undefined. Presently -q cancels all the others, -p cancels -u, -k cancels -z, and otherwise -z cancels both -p and -u.The -c or -l flags cancel any and all of -kpquz.
