26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This module provides a programmable completion facility using
29 ;; "completion functions". Each completion function is responsible
30 ;; for producing a list of possible completions relevant to the current
31 ;; argument position.
33 ;; To use pcomplete with shell-mode, for example, you will need the
34 ;; following in your .emacs file:
36 ;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'pcomplete-shell-setup)
38 ;; Most of the code below simply provides support mechanisms for
39 ;; writing completion functions. Completion functions themselves are
40 ;; very easy to write. They have few requirements beyond those of
41 ;; regular Lisp functions.
43 ;; Consider the following example, which will complete against
44 ;; filenames for the first two arguments, and directories for all
45 ;; remaining arguments:
47 ;; (defun pcomplete/my-command ()
48 ;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
49 ;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
50 ;; (while (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))))
52 ;; Here are the requirements for completion functions:
54 ;; @ They must be called "pcomplete/MAJOR-MODE/NAME", or
55 ;; "pcomplete/NAME". This is how they are looked up, using the NAME
56 ;; specified in the command argument (the argument in first
57 ;; position).
59 ;; @ They must be callable with no arguments.
61 ;; @ Their return value is ignored. If they actually return normally,
62 ;; it means no completions were available.
64 ;; @ In order to provide completions, they must throw the tag
65 ;; `pcomplete-completions'. The value must be the list of possible
66 ;; completions for the final argument.
68 ;; @ To simplify completion function logic, the tag `pcompleted' may
69 ;; be thrown with a value of nil in order to abort the function. It
70 ;; means that there were no completions available.
72 ;; When a completion function is called, the variable `pcomplete-args'
73 ;; is in scope, and contains all of the arguments specified on the
74 ;; command line. The variable `pcomplete-last' is the index of the
75 ;; last argument in that list.
77 ;; The variable `pcomplete-index' is used by the completion code to
78 ;; know which argument the completion function is currently examining.
79 ;; It always begins at 1, meaning the first argument after the command
80 ;; name.
82 ;; To facilitate writing completion logic, a special macro,
83 ;; `pcomplete-here', has been provided which does several things:
85 ;; 1. It will throw `pcompleted' (with a value of nil) whenever
86 ;; `pcomplete-index' exceeds `pcomplete-last'.
88 ;; 2. It will increment `pcomplete-index' if the final argument has
89 ;; not been reached yet.
91 ;; 3. It will evaluate the form passed to it, and throw the result
92 ;; using the `pcomplete-completions' tag, if it is called when
93 ;; `pcomplete-index' is pointing to the final argument.
95 ;; Sometimes a completion function will want to vary the possible
96 ;; completions for an argument based on the previous one. To
97 ;; facilitate tests like this, the function `pcomplete-test' and
98 ;; `pcomplete-match' are provided. Called with one argument, they
99 ;; test the value of the previous command argument. Otherwise, a
100 ;; relative index may be given as an optional second argument, where 0
101 ;; refers to the current argument, 1 the previous, 2 the one before
102 ;; that, etc. The symbols `first' and `last' specify absolute
103 ;; offsets.
105 ;; Here is an example which will only complete against directories for
106 ;; the second argument if the first argument is also a directory:
108 ;; (defun pcomplete/example ()
109 ;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
110 ;; (if (pcomplete-test 'file-directory-p)
111 ;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))
112 ;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))))
114 ;; For generating completion lists based on directory contents, see
115 ;; the functions `pcomplete-entries', `pcomplete-dirs',
116 ;; `pcomplete-executables' and `pcomplete-all-entries'.
118 ;; Consult the documentation for `pcomplete-here' for information
119 ;; about its other arguments.

897 If completion is to be done here, evaluate FORM to generate the list
898 of strings which will be used for completion purposes. If STUB is a
899 string, use it as the completion stub instead of the default (which is
900 the entire text of the current argument).
902 For an example of when you might want to use STUB: if the current
903 argument text is 'long-path-name/', you don't want the completions
904 list display to be cluttered by 'long-path-name/' appearing at the
905 beginning of every alternative. Not only does this make things less
906 intelligle, but it is also inefficient. Yet, if the completion list
907 does not begin with this string for every entry, the current argument
908 won't complete correctly.
910 The solution is to specify a relative stub. It allows you to
911 substitute a different argument from the current argument, almost
912 always for the sake of efficiency.
914 If PARING is nil, this argument will be pared against previous
915 arguments using the function `file-truename' to normalize them.
916 PARING may be a function, in which case that function is used for
917 normalization. If PARING is t, the argument dealt with by this
918 call will not participate in argument paring. If it is the
919 integer 0, all previous arguments that have been seen will be
920 cleared.
922 If FORM-ONLY is non-nil, only the result of FORM will be used to
923 generate the completions list. This means that the hook
924 `pcomplete-try-first-hook' will not be run."
