INVOCATION
Commands are first read from /etc/zshenv. If the -f flag is
present or if the NO_RCS option is set within /etc/zshenv, all
other initialization files are skipped. Otherwise, commands are read
from $ZDOTDIR/.zshenv. (If ZDOTDIR is unset, HOME is
used instead). If the first character of argument zero passed to the
shell is -, or if the -l flag is present, then the shell is
assumed to be a login shell, and commands are read from /etc/zprofile
and then $ZDOTDIR/.zprofile. Then, if the shell is interactive,
commands are read from /etc/zshrc and then $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc. Finally,
if the shell is a login shell, /etc/zlogin and $ZDOTDIR/.zlogin are
read.
If the -s flag is not present and an argument is given, the first argument is taken to be the pathname of a script to execute. The remaining arguments are assigned to the positional parameters. The following flags are interpreted by the shell when invoked:
