Subject: How about separating "_arguments --" into a new function?
Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2021 01:12:42 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B74EF96-AE73-4D40-ACDD-9999DFFDA1A8@kba.biglobe.ne.jp> (raw)
Not sure this was discussed before or not:
_gnu_generic works rather well for basenc, and '_arguments --'
caches the option specs generated from the --help text in a variable
_args_cache_basenc. So I created _basenc by
% compdef _gnu_generic basenc
% basenc <TAB>
% echo ${(F)${(qqq)_args_cache_basenc}} > _basenc
and edited _basenc (to add option groups etc.).
If we separate the part of _arguments that generates the option specs
(around lines 36 - 323) into an auto-loadable function, say help2specs,
then we will be able to do something like
% help2specs cmd > _cmd
(and edit _cmd to improve it)
If this seems useful I'll work on it.
Or just using $_args_cache_cmd is enough?
If _arguments is separated into two, tracing the history by 'git blame'
etc. would be a little bit tedious.
