Subject: bash convert: new completion system skeleton?
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 14:16:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8yxj3oiq.fsf@ID-23066.news.dfncis.de> (raw)
hi.
i have lots of bash completers for my daily needs that i can't live
without. but bash-style completers resemble zsh's old completion
style, which is inferiour to zsh's new system.
my completers have the following properties: the program which's
arguments have to be completed have some help or list function which
i can use to enumerate the possible completions, then i just grep(1)
out the likely candidates.
example: there's an anti-spam system called qconfirm
<URL:http://smarden.org/qconfirm/>, the bash completer for which is:
_qconfirm ()
{
local i cur qopts qcmd
COMPREPLY=()
qopts=""
qcmd=${COMP_WORDS[1]}
# collect possible options to hand over 1:1
for (( i=1 ; i<=COMP_CWORD ; i++ ))
do
cur="${COMP_WORDS[$i]}"
#echo $cur >&2
case $cur in
-*)
qopts="$qopts $cur"
;;
*)
qcmd=${cur}
break
;;
esac
done
# select the database depending on the subcommand used
case $qcmd in
ac*|b[ao]*|dr*)
which=pending
;;
re*|pe*)
which=ok
;;
*)
which=ok
;;
esac
# here's the meat: list the relevant database and pick the
# right completion
cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
COMPREPLY=( $(qconfirm $qopts list "${which}" |
cut -d" " -s -f2 |
egrep -i "${cur}" ))
return 0
}
# tell the completion system which function is responsible for qconfirm
complete -F _qconfirm qconfirm
similiar code exists for gnu-make, autoconf's configure, openssl etc.
could somebody please offer the skeleton of a completer for the new
system, complete with which share/zsh/4.0.6/function/_<FUNC>s to
call, how to name the zstyle and the contexts?
i'm simply lost in all the files of the distribution, especially
those _<helper> functions. any pointers appreciated. is there
already a wiki for zsh specialists and users?
