Hello,
On my gentoo system, I notice that _ps is the below and does not show
the options for ps, the process viewer.
which _ps
_ps () {
local expl ext=''
if [[ "$1" = '-z' ]]
then
ext='(|.bz2|.gz|.Z)'
shift
fi
_description files expl 'PostScript file'
_files "$@" "$expl[@]" -g "*.(#i)(ps|eps)$ext(-.)"
}
_ps is a shell function
_ps:
Just wanted to check if it is the same across other distros.
It is located at /usr/share/zsh/5.0.2/functions/Completion/Unix/_ps in
my system.
Is there a completion file for ps, the process viewer, floating around?
Thanks
Joe

This is postscript files handler.

Who needs one? ps command varies so much between different Unix systems
that it makes no sense (due to huge effort) to write one. There is _pids
completion attached to various commands (kill, strace, lsof, gdb,
ulimit).

Yes, it's in the Solaris/ sub-directory, which normally comes first in
$fpath and so is used in preference to the Unix/ one, even on BSD
systems.
As to _why_ it's Solaris/_ps for ps(1) and Unix/_ps for handling
postscript: I do not know.
If your OS has stripped the Solaris/ items, then you're missing
completions for gcore, ptree and others, not just the real ps(1)
completions.
Oh, and the Solaris/_ps only handles ps options with a dash, but even
BSDs take those variants these days.
