Since I first installed zsh, probably when I ran `zsh-newuser-install`,
I had the following line in my `~/.zshrc`:
zstyle ':completion:*:kill:*' command 'ps -u $USER -o pid,%cpu,tty,cputime,cmd'
I know that if I remove this line, the `kill` command's completion is
pretty poor and it completes processes from the current tty only. With
this statement in my `~/.zshrc`, `kill` is completed with all processes
of the current user.
My question is: How do I emulate a completion like that naturally within
a completion function? I want a certain command's option argument
completion to suggest all processes the current user just like when I
try to complete `kill`.

You want to call the _pids helper function from that command's
completion function. _pids will use the current context to look up
the command to use to generate the list of possible process IDs.

Thanks for your reply Bart,
I tried using `_pids` but it completes pids of processes only in the
current tty. How to I make complete all the processes the user has?
