Subject: completion: lookup argument using descriptions
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:30:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210610093007.GA6653@polanet.pl> (raw)
Hello,
sometimes I find myself looking for appropriate option by reading down
all the descriptions of the arguments before going straight to the
documentation to simply /search for some phrase. I wonder: would that be
possible directly from zle? E.g. let me do the flood ping (-f):
$ ping -[tab]
option
-4 -- use IPv4 only
-6 -- use IPv6 only
-A -- adaptive
-B -- don't allow ping to change source address
-D -- print timestamp before each line
-F -- allocate and set 20-bit flow label
-I -- specify source interface
-L -- disable loopback of multicast packets
-M -- specify path MTU discovery strategy
-N -- send ICMPv6 node information queries instead of echo request
-O -- report outstanding ICMP ECHO reply before sending next packet
-Q -- set Quality of Service-related bits in ICMP datagrams
-R -- record route
-S -- set socket sndbuf
-T -- set special IP timestamp options
-U -- print full user-to-user latency
-V -- display version information
-W -- specify time to wait for a response
-a -- audible bell for each packet
-b -- allow pinging a broadcast address
-c -- specify number of packets to send
-d -- set SO_DEBUG on the socket
-f -- flood ping <- here it is
-h -- show usage information
-i -- specify delay between packets
-l -- send specified number of initial packets as fast as possible
-m -- specify mark to tag outgoing packets
-n -- show network addresses as numbers
-p -- specify pad bytes to fill sent packet with
-q -- quiet
-r -- bypass normal routing tables
-s -- specify packet size
-t -- set IP Time to Live for outgoing packets
-v -- verbose output
-w -- specify timeout after which ping exits
Is there any direct mechanism I could use to search for "flood" in the right
part of the completion? Other than ctrl+a [ / in screen?
regards,
