• Effect: read-only
• Source code: cli/src/cli/complete_word.rs

Generate shell completion candidates for a partial command line

What the scripts from usage generate completion run on every Tab: they pass the words typed so far and read back one candidate per line. Useful by hand, too, for checking what a spec offers at a given point without installing anything.

Arguments

• [WORDS]… — The words typed so far, starting with the program name

Flags

• -f --file <FILE> — A usage spec file, or a script with a usage shebang; "-" reads stdin

• -s --spec <SPEC> — The spec itself, as a string, instead of a file

• --cword <CWORD> — Index of the word being completed; defaults to the last word

• --shell <SHELL> — The shell the candidates are for, which decides how they are quoted

  Choices: bash, fish, nu, powershell, zsh

  Default: bash

• -h --help — Print help
