3 # This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
4 # compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
6 # In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
7 # programming techniques.
9 # Suggested alternative: Term::Complete
11 ;# @(#)complete.pl,v1.1 (me@anywhere.EBay.Sun.COM) 09/23/91
13 ;# Author: Wayne Thompson
15 ;# Description:
16 ;# This routine provides word completion.
17 ;# (TAB) attempts word completion.
18 ;# (^D) prints completion list.
19 ;# (These may be changed by setting $Complete'complete, etc.)
21 ;# Diagnostics:
22 ;# Bell when word completion fails.
24 ;# Dependencies:
25 ;# The tty driver is put into raw mode.
27 ;# Bugs:
29 ;# Usage:
30 ;# $input = &Complete('prompt_string', *completion_list);
31 ;# or
32 ;# $input = &Complete('prompt_string', @completion_list);
