Subject: Writing multi-part command completion functions
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 08:12:29 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001026151229.1321.qmail@web1103.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Is there a recommended way to deal with multi-part commands.  For
example, many of  the source control systems cvs, rcs, sccs, and prcs
all have a main command, with the first argument typically being a
sub-command.  Many times the sub-command can be abbreviated.

There are already some completion functions that handle commands like
this (e.g. _cvs).  Is there a preferred way to do this? Is there one
that provides a better example of how to structure such a completion
function(s)?  Would it make sense to add support to make it easier to write
such a function?

Thanks
-FR.
