select select is an optional glob-pattern. If given, only words from list which match
select are considered and the fignore shell variable is ignored. The last
three types of completion may not have a select pattern, and x uses select
as an explanatory message when the list-choices editor command is used.
suffix suffix is a single character to be appended to a successful completion. If
null, no character is appended. If omitted (in which case the fourth delimiter
can also be omitted), a slash is appended to directories and a space to
other words.
Examples
1. Some commands take only directories as arguments, so there is no point in
completing plain files. For example:
> complete cd ’p/1/d/’
completes only the first word following cd (p/1) with a directory.
2. p-type completion can be used to narrow down command completion. For
example:
> co[^D]
complete compress
> complete -co* ’p/0/(compress)/’
> co[^D]
> compress
tcsh: complete
