This package extends option and argument completion of shell commands read by Emacs. It is intended to make shell completion in Emacs comparable to the rather excellent completion provided by both Bash and Zsh.
This package uses pcomplete' to define completion handlers which
are used whenever shell completion is performed. This includes
when commands are read in the minibuffer viashell-command' (M-!)
or in `shell-mode'.
Completion support is provided for many different commands including:
GNU core utilities (ls, rm, mv, date, sort, cut, printf, …)
Built-in shell commands (if, test, time, …)
Various GNU/Linux commands (find, xargs, grep, man, tar, …)
Version control systems (bzr, git, hg, …)
Installation:
To use this package, save pcmpl-args.el' to yourload-path' and
add the following to your `init.el':
(require 'pcmpl-args)
Note: This package uses `lexical-binding' so it probably will not work with older versions of Emacs (prior to 24.1).
Note: This package redefines the following functions:
pcomplete/bzip2'
pcomplete/chgrp'
pcomplete/chown'
pcomplete/gdb'
pcomplete/gzip'
pcomplete/make'
pcomplete/rm'
pcomplete/rmdir'
pcomplete/tar'
pcomplete/time'
pcomplete/which'
pcomplete/xargs'
Defining new completion commands:
This package contains a number of utilities for defining new pcomplete completion commands:
`pcmpl-args-pcomplete' Can be used to define completion for commands that have complex option and argument parsing.
pcmpl-args-pcomplete-on-help'
Completion via parsing the output ofCOMMAND –help'.
pcmpl-args-pcomplete-on-man'
Completion via parsing the output ofman COMMAND'.
