35 ;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
36 ;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
37 ;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
38 ;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
39 ;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
40 ;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
42 ;; Several packages are already defined using comint mode:
43 ;; - shell.el defines a shell-in-a-buffer mode.
44 ;; - cmulisp.el defines a simple lisp-in-a-buffer mode.
45 ;;
46 ;; - The file cmuscheme.el defines a scheme-in-a-buffer mode.
47 ;; - The file tea.el tunes scheme and inferior-scheme modes for T.
48 ;; - The file soar.el tunes lisp and inferior-lisp modes for Soar.
49 ;; - cmutex.el defines tex and latex modes that invoke tex, latex, bibtex,
50 ;; previewers, and printers from within emacs.
51 ;; - background.el allows csh-like job control inside emacs.
52 ;; It is pretty easy to make new derived modes for other processes.
54 ;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
55 ;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
56 ;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell,
57 ;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.
59 ;; For hints on converting existing process modes (e.g., tex-mode,
60 ;; background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, telnet) to use comint-mode
61 ;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

449 `comint-input-filter-functions', `comint-input-filter', `comint-input-sender'

451 `comint-prompt-regexp' to the appropriate regular expression.

2933 ;; This little add-on for comint is intended to make it easy to get
2934 ;; output from currently active comint buffers into another buffer,
2935 ;; or buffers, and then go back to using the comint shell.
2936 ;;
2937 ;; My particular use is SQL interpreters; I want to be able to execute a
2938 ;; query using the process associated with a comint-buffer, and save that
2939 ;; somewhere else. Because the process might have state (for example, it
2940 ;; could be in an uncommitted transaction), just running starting a new
2941 ;; process and having it execute the query and then finish, would not
2942 ;; work. I'm sure there are other uses as well, although in many cases
2943 ;; starting a new process is the simpler, and thus preferable, approach.
2944 ;;
2945 ;; The basic implementation is as follows: comint-redirect changes the
2946 ;; preoutput filter functions (comint-preoutput-filter-functions) to use
2947 ;; its own filter. The filter puts the output into the designated buffer,
2948 ;; or buffers, until it sees a regexp that tells it to stop (by default,
2949 ;; this is the prompt for the interpreter, comint-prompt-regexp). When it
2950 ;; sees the stop regexp, it restores the old filter functions, and runs
2951 ;; comint-redirect-hook.
2952 ;;
2953 ;; Each comint buffer may only use one redirection at a time, but any number
2954 ;; of different comint buffers may be simultaneously redirected.
2955 ;;
2956 ;; NOTE: It is EXTREMELY important that `comint-prompt-regexp' be set to the
2957 ;; correct prompt for your interpreter, or that you supply a regexp that says
2958 ;; when the redirection is finished. Otherwise, redirection will continue
2959 ;; indefinitely. The code now does a sanity check to ensure that it can find
2960 ;; a prompt in the comint buffer; however, it is still important to ensure that
2961 ;; this prompt is set correctly.
2962 ;;
2963 ;; XXX: This doesn't work so well unless comint-prompt-regexp is set;
2964 ;; perhaps it should prompt for a terminating string (with an
2965 ;; appropriate magic default by examining what we think is the prompt)?

3325 ;; SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken over by
3326 ;; SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-filter-functions.
3327 ;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to
3328 ;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
3329 ;;
3330 ;; comint-last-input-start is provided for modes which want to munge
3331 ;; the buffer after input is sent, perhaps because the inferior
3332 ;; insists on echoing the input. The LAST-INPUT-START variable in
3333 ;; the old shell package was used to implement a history mechanism,
3334 ;; but you should think twice before using comint-last-input-start
3335 ;; for this; the input history ring often does the job better.
3336 ;;
3337 ;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
3338 ;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
3339 ;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
3340 ;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
3341 ;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
3342 ;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
3343 ;; (comint-{prompt-regexp, input-filter, input-filter-functions,
3344 ;; get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
3345 ;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
3346 ;; comint-mode will take care of it. The following example, from shell.el,
3347 ;; is typical:
3348 ;;
3349 ;; (defvar shell-mode-map '())
3350 ;; (cond ((not shell-mode-map)

3371 ;; Completion for comint-mode users
3372 ;;
3373 ;; For modes that use comint-mode, comint-dynamic-complete-functions is the
3374 ;; hook to add completion functions to. Functions on this list should return
3375 ;; non-nil if completion occurs (i.e., further completion should not occur).
3376 ;; You could use comint-dynamic-simple-complete to do the bulk of the
3377 ;; completion job.
