24;;; Commentary:
25
26;; This module provides a programmable completion facility using
27;; "completion functions". Each completion function is responsible
28;; for producing a list of possible completions relevant to the current
29;; argument position.
30;;
31;; To use pcomplete with shell-mode, for example, you will need the
32;; following in your .emacs file:
33;;
affbf647
GM
34;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'pcomplete-shell-setup)
35;;
36;; Most of the code below simply provides support mechanisms for
37;; writing completion functions. Completion functions themselves are
38;; very easy to write. They have few requirements beyond those of
39;; regular Lisp functions.
40;;
41;; Consider the following example, which will complete against
42;; filenames for the first two arguments, and directories for all
43;; remaining arguments:
44;;
45;; (defun pcomplete/my-command ()
46;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
47;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
48;; (while (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))))
49;;
50;; Here are the requirements for completion functions:
51;;
52;; @ They must be called "pcomplete/MAJOR-MODE/NAME", or
53;; "pcomplete/NAME". This is how they are looked up, using the NAME
54;; specified in the command argument (the argument in first
55;; position).
56;;
57;; @ They must be callable with no arguments.
58;;
59;; @ Their return value is ignored. If they actually return normally,
60;; it means no completions were available.
61;;
62;; @ In order to provide completions, they must throw the tag
63;; `pcomplete-completions'. The value must be the list of possible
64;; completions for the final argument.
65;;
66;; @ To simplify completion function logic, the tag `pcompleted' may
67;; be thrown with a value of nil in order to abort the function. It
68;; means that there were no completions available.
69;;
70;; When a completion function is called, the variable `pcomplete-args'
71;; is in scope, and contains all of the arguments specified on the
72;; command line. The variable `pcomplete-last' is the index of the
73;; last argument in that list.
74;;
75;; The variable `pcomplete-index' is used by the completion code to
76;; know which argument the completion function is currently examining.
77;; It always begins at 1, meaning the first argument after the command
78;; name.
79;;
80;; To facilitate writing completion logic, a special macro,
81;; `pcomplete-here', has been provided which does several things:
82;;
83;; 1. It will throw `pcompleted' (with a value of nil) whenever
84;; `pcomplete-index' exceeds `pcomplete-last'.
85;;
86;; 2. It will increment `pcomplete-index' if the final argument has
87;; not been reached yet.
88;;
89;; 3. It will evaluate the form passed to it, and throw the result
90;; using the `pcomplete-completions' tag, if it is called when
91;; `pcomplete-index' is pointing to the final argument.
92;;
93;; Sometimes a completion function will want to vary the possible
94;; completions for an argument based on the previous one. To
95;; facilitate tests like this, the function `pcomplete-test' and
96;; `pcomplete-match' are provided. Called with one argument, they
97;; test the value of the previous command argument. Otherwise, a
98;; relative index may be given as an optional second argument, where 0
99;; refers to the current argument, 1 the previous, 2 the one before
100;; that, etc. The symbols `first' and `last' specify absolute
101;; offsets.
102;;
103;; Here is an example which will only complete against directories for
104;; the second argument if the first argument is also a directory:
105;;
106;; (defun pcomplete/example ()
107;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
108;; (if (pcomplete-test 'file-directory-p)
109;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))
110;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))))
111;;
112;; For generating completion lists based on directory contents, see
113;; the functions `pcomplete-entries', `pcomplete-dirs',
114;; `pcomplete-executables' and `pcomplete-all-entries'.
115;;
116;; Consult the documentation for `pcomplete-here' for information
117;; about its other arguments.

897If completion is to be done here, evaluate FORM to generate the list
898of strings which will be used for completion purposes. If STUB is a
899string, use it as the completion stub instead of the default (which is
900the entire text of the current argument).
901
902For an example of when you might want to use STUB: if the current
903argument text is 'long-path-name/', you don't want the completions
904list display to be cluttered by 'long-path-name/' appearing at the
905beginning of every alternative. Not only does this make things less
906intelligle, but it is also inefficient. Yet, if the completion list
907does not begin with this string for every entry, the current argument
908won't complete correctly.
909
910The solution is to specify a relative stub. It allows you to
911substitute a different argument from the current argument, almost
912always for the sake of efficiency.
913
914If PARING is nil, this argument will be pared against previous
915arguments using the function `file-truename' to normalize them.
21a2e05d
JB
916PARING may be a function, in which case that function is used for
917normalization. If PARING is t, the argument dealt with by this
918call will not participate in argument paring. If it is the
919integer 0, all previous arguments that have been seen will be
920cleared.
