<enable; Activate a DFHack tool that has some persistent effect.>` Many plugins
and scripts can be in a distinct enabled or disabled state. Some of them
activate and deactivate automatically depending on the contents of the world
raws. Others store their state in world data. However a number of them have to
be enabled globally, and the init file is the right place to do it.

Most such plugins or scripts support the built-in ``enable`` and `disable`
commands. Calling them at any time without arguments prints a list of enabled
and disabled plugins, and shows whether that can be changed through the same
commands. Passing plugin names to these commands will enable or disable the
specified plugins.

Usage::

    enable
    enable <plugin> [<plugin> ...]

Examples
--------

- ``enable manipulator``
    Enable the ``manipulator`` plugin.
- ``enable manipulator search``
    Enable multiple plugins at once.
