Subject: Completing multiple states with _arguments
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 23:49:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTintH3mBrt+_csUYuJX8FM76_j6AhPXjoXCU2WXP@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

How do I deal with multiple states when completing with _arguments?

local context state line
typeset -A opt_args

_arguments \
  ':: :->something-optional-before-files' \
  '*:: :->file' && ret=0

# Now what?

The documentation doesn’t give an example, neither does the book, and
I was unable to find an example under Completion in the source tree.

I’m updating the git-diff completion (along with all the other git-*
completions), if you want a more specific example.  Git diff can take
two arguments that may be commits, trees, or blobs before it takes any
file arguments.

Thanks!
