If set, then the value + of it is the number of EOF characters that can be seen + in a row on an empty line before the shell will exit + (default 10).

If found there, that job is foregrounded. + A value of `exact' means that the command word must + exactly match a command in the list of stopped jobs. A + value of `substring' means that the command word must + match a substring of the job. Any other value means that + the command must be a prefix of a stopped job. +#if defined (HISTORY) +# if defined (BANG_HISTORY) +histchars Characters controlling history expansion and quick + substitution. The first character is the history + substitution character, usually `!'. The second is + the `quick substitution' character, usually `^'.
