Variable Purpose
echo_style The style of the echo built-in. May be set to:
bsd Don’t echo a newline if the first argument is -n.
sysv Recognize backslashed escape sequences in
echo strings.

escape sequences; the default.

\n
> echo -n "test"
test>
> set echo_style=sysv
> echo $echo_style
sysv

-n test
> set echo_style=both
> echo $echo_style

edit If set, the command-line editor is used. Set by default in
interactive shells.
ellipsis If set, the %c’/’%. and %C prompt sequences (see the
prompt shell variable) indicate skipped directories with
an ellipsis (...) instead of /.
fignore Lists file name suffixes to be ignored by completion.
filec In the tcsh shell, completion is always used and this
variable is ignored.
gid The user’s real group ID.
group The user’s group name.
histchars A string value determining the characters used in history
substitution. The first character of its value is used as the
history substitution character, replacing the default
character ! (exclamation point). The second character of
its value replaces the character ^ (caret) in quick
substitutions.
