What does zstyle :compinstall filename do?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
The Zsh first-run config wizard usually adds
zstyle :compinstall filename '$HOME/.zshrc'
to the newly generated ~/.zshrc.
What is the purpose of this directive? I could find some documentation on zstyle in general, but not on the specific config key.

It appears to be caching related per code inCompletion/compinstallso that that code can find a non-default location for what is usually~/.zshrc(which subsequent code looks for if the style is unset).
