z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

9. One might use
> complete rm ’p/*/f:^*.{c,h,cc,C,tex,1,man,l,y}/’
to exclude precious source code from rm completion. Of course, one could still
type excluded names manually or override the completion mechanism using
the complete-word-raw or list-choices-raw editor command.
10. The D, F and Tlists are like d, f and t respectively, but they use the select
argument in a different way: to restrict completion to files beginning with a
particular path prefix. For example, the Elm mail program uses = as an
abbreviation for one’s mail directory. One might use
> complete elm c@=@F:$HOME/Mail/@
to complete elm -f = as if it were elm -f ~/Mail/. We used @ instead of / to
avoid confusion with the select argument, and we used $HOME instead of ~
because home directory substitution only works at the beginning of a word.
11. suffix is used to add a nonstandard suffix (not space or ’/’ for directories) to
completed words. For example,
> complete finger ’c/*@/$hostnames/’ ’p/1/u/@’
completes arguments to finger from the list of users, appends an @, and then
completes after the @ from the hostnames variable. Note the order in which
the completions are specified.
12. A more complex example:
complete find \
’n/-name/f/’ ’n/-newer/f/’ ’n/-{,n}cpio/f/’ \
’n/-exec/c/’ ’n/-ok/c/’ ’n/-user/u/’ \
’n/-group/g/’ ’n/-fstype/(nfs 4.2)/’ \
’n/-type/(b c d f l p s)/’ \
’c/-/(name newer cpio ncpio exec ok user \
group fstype type atime ctime depth inum \
ls mtime nogroup nouser perm print prune \
size xdev)/’ \
’p/*/d/’
This completes words following -name, -newer, -cpio or ncpio (note the pattern
which matches both) to files, words following -exec or -ok to commands, words
following user and group to users and groups respectively and words following
-fstype or -type to members of the given lists. It also completes the switches
themselves from the given list (note the use of c-type completion) and
completes anything not otherwise completed to a directory.
Programmed completions are ignored if the word being completed is a tilde
substitution (beginning with ~) or a variable (beginning with $). complete is an
experimental feature, and the syntax may change in future versions of the
shell. See also the uncomplete built-in command.
