26;;; Commentary:
27
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.
32;;
33;; To use pcomplete with shell-mode, for example, you will need the
34;; following in your .emacs file:
35;;
36;; (load "pcmpl-auto")
37;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'pcomplete-shell-setup)
38;;
39;; Most of the code below simply provides support mechanisms for
40;; writing completion functions. Completion functions themselves are
41;; very easy to write. They have few requirements beyond those of
42;; regular Lisp functions.
43;;
44;; Consider the following example, which will complete against
45;; filenames for the first two arguments, and directories for all
46;; remaining arguments:
47;;
48;; (defun pcomplete/my-command ()
49;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
50;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
51;; (while (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))))
52;;
53;; Here are the requirements for completion functions:
54;;
55;; @ They must be called "pcomplete/MAJOR-MODE/NAME", or
56;; "pcomplete/NAME". This is how they are looked up, using the NAME
57;; specified in the command argument (the argument in first
58;; position).
59;;
60;; @ They must be callable with no arguments.
61;;
62;; @ Their return value is ignored. If they actually return normally,
63;; it means no completions were available.
64;;
65;; @ In order to provide completions, they must throw the tag
66;; `pcomplete-completions'. The value must be the list of possible
67;; completions for the final argument.
68;;
69;; @ To simplify completion function logic, the tag `pcompleted' may
70;; be thrown with a value of nil in order to abort the function. It
71;; means that there were no completions available.
72;;
73;; When a completion function is called, the variable `pcomplete-args'
74;; is in scope, and contains all of the arguments specified on the
75;; command line. The variable `pcomplete-last' is the index of the
76;; last argument in that list.
77;;
78;; The variable `pcomplete-index' is used by the completion code to
79;; know which argument the completion function is currently examining.
80;; It always begins at 1, meaning the first argument after the command
81;; name.
82;;
83;; To facilitate writing completion logic, a special macro,
84;; `pcomplete-here', has been provided which does several things:
85;;
86;; 1. It will throw `pcompleted' (with a value of nil) whenever
87;; `pcomplete-index' exceeds `pcomplete-last'.
88;;
89;; 2. It will increment `pcomplete-index' if the final argument has
90;; not been reached yet.
91;;
92;; 3. It will evaluate the form passed to it, and throw the result
93;; using the `pcomplete-completions' tag, if it is called when
94;; `pcomplete-index' is pointing to the final argument.
95;;
96;; Sometimes a completion function will want to vary the possible
97;; completions for an argument based on the previous one. To
98;; facilitate tests like this, the function `pcomplete-test' and
99;; `pcomplete-match' are provided. Called with one argument, they
100;; test the value of the previous command argument. Otherwise, a
101;; relative index may be given as an optional second argument, where 0
102;; refers to the current argument, 1 the previous, 2 the one before
103;; that, etc. The symbols `first' and `last' specify absolute
104;; offsets.
105;;
106;; Here is an example which will only complete against directories for
107;; the second argument if the first argument is also a directory:
108;;
109;; (defun pcomplete/example ()
110;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))
111;; (if (pcomplete-test 'file-directory-p)
112;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-dirs))
113;; (pcomplete-here (pcomplete-entries))))
114;;
115;; For generating completion lists based on directory contents, see
116;; the functions `pcomplete-entries', `pcomplete-dirs',
117;; `pcomplete-executables' and `pcomplete-all-entries'.
118;;
119;; Consult the documentation for `pcomplete-here' for information
120;; about its other arguments.

877If completion is to be done here, evaluate FORM to generate the list
878of strings which will be used for completion purposes. If STUB is a
879string, use it as the completion stub instead of the default (which is
880the entire text of the current argument).
881
882For an example of when you might want to use STUB: if the current
883argument text is 'long-path-name/', you don't want the completions
884list display to be cluttered by 'long-path-name/' appearing at the
885beginning of every alternative. Not only does this make things less
886intelligle, but it is also inefficient. Yet, if the completion list
887does not begin with this string for every entry, the current argument
888won't complete correctly.
889
890The solution is to specify a relative stub. It allows you to
891substitute a different argument from the current argument, almost
892always for the sake of efficiency.
893
894If PARING is nil, this argument will be pared against previous
895arguments using the function `file-truename' to normalize them.
896PARING may be a function, in which case that function is for
897normalization. If PARING is the value t, the argument dealt with by
898this call will not participate in argument paring. If it the integer
8990, all previous arguments that have been seen will be cleared.
900
901If FORM-ONLY is non-nil, only the result of FORM will be used to
902generate the completions list. This means that the hook
