User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



NAME
     zshcompctl - zsh programmable completion

DESCRIPTION
     This version of zsh has two ways of performing completion of
     words on the command line.  New users of the shell may  pre-
     fer to use the newer and more powerful system based on shell
     functions; this is described in zshcompsys(1), and the basic
     shell  mechanisms which support it are described in zshcomp-
     wid(1).  This manual entry describes the older compctl  com-
     mand.
     compctl [ -CDT ] options [ command ... ]
options [ -x ... -- ] ... [+] ] [ command ... ]
     compctl  [  -CDT  ]  options  [ -x pattern options - ... --
          ] [ +
     compctl -M match-specs ...
     compctl -L [ -CDTM ] [ command ... ]
     compctl + command ...

     Control  the  editor's  completion behavior according to the
     supplied set of options.  Various editing commands,  notably
     expand-or-complete-word,  usually bound to tab, will attempt
     to complete a word typed by the user, while others,  notably
     delete-char-or-list,  usually  bound  to ^D in EMACS editing
     mode, list the possibilities; compctl  controls  what  those
     possibilities  are.   They may for example be filenames (the
     most common case, and hence the default),  shell  variables,
     or words from a user-specified list.

COMMAND FLAGS
     Completion  of  the  arguments of a command may be different
     for each command or may use the default.  The behavior  when
     completing  the  command  word itself may also be separately
     specified.  These correspond  to  the  following  flags  and
     arguments, all of which (except for -L) may be combined with
     any combination of the options described subsequently in the
     section `Option Flags':

     command ...
          controls  completion for the named commands, which must
          be listed last on the command line.  If  completion  is
          attempted  for  a  command  with  a pathname containing
          slashes and no  completion  definition  is  found,  the
          search  is retried with the last pathname component. If
          the command starts with a =, completion is  tried  with
          the pathname of the command.

          Any  of the command strings may be patterns of the form
          normally used for filename generation.  These should be
          quoted  to  protect  them from immediate expansion; for
          example the command string 'foo*' arranges for  comple-
          tion  of  the  words of any command beginning with foo.

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



          When completion is attempted, all  pattern  completions
          are  tried  in  the  reverse  order of their definition
          until one matches.  By default,  completion  then  pro-
          ceeds  as  normal,  i.e. the shell will try to generate
          more matches for the specific command  on  the  command
          line;  this  can  be overridden by including -tn in the
          flags for the pattern completion.

          Note that aliases are expanded before the command  name
          is  determined  unless  the  COMPLETE_ALIASES option is
          set.  Commands may not be combined with the -C,  -D  or
          -T flags.

     -C   controls  completion  when  the  command word itself is
          being completed.  If no compctl  -C  command  has  been
          issued,   the  names of any executable command (whether
          in the path or specific to the shell, such  as  aliases
          or functions) are completed.

     -D   controls  default completion behavior for the arguments
          of commands not assigned any special behavior.   If  no
          compctl  -D command has been issued, filenames are com-
          pleted.

     -T   supplies completion flags to be used before  any  other
          processing is done, even before processing for compctls
          defined for specific commands.  This is especially use-
          ful  when  combined  with  extended  completion (the -x
          flag, see the  section  `Extended  Completion'  below).
          Using  this  flag you can define default behavior which
          will apply to all commands without  exception,  or  you
          can  alter the standard behavior for all commands.  For
          example, if your access to the  user  database  is  too
          slow and/or it contains too many users (so that comple-
          tion after `~' is too slow to be usable), you can use

               compctl -T -x 's[~] C[0,[^/]#]' -k friends -S/ -tn

          to complete the strings in the array  friends  after  a
          `~'.   The  C[...]  argument  is necessary so that this
          form of ~-completion is not tried after  the  directory
          name is finished.

     -L   lists  the  existing  completion  behavior  in a manner
          suitable for putting into a start-up script; the exist-
          ing  behavior  is  not changed.  Any combination of the
          above forms, or the -M flag (which must follow  the  -L
          flag),  may be specified, otherwise all defined comple-
          tions  are  listed.   Any  other  flags  supplied   are
          ignored.

     no argument

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



          If no argument is given, compctl lists all defined com-
          pletions in  an  abbreviated  form;   with  a  list  of
          options,  all  completions  with  those  flags set (not
          counting extended completion) are listed.

     If the + flag is alone and followed immediately by the  com-
     mand  list,  the completion behavior for all the commands in
     the list is reset to the default.  In other  words,  comple-
     tion  will  subsequently use the options specified by the -D
     flag.

     The form with -M as the first and only option defines global
     matching specifications (see zshcompwid). The match specifi-
     cations given will be  used  for  every  completion  attempt
     (only  when  using compctl, not with the new completion sys-
     tem) and are tried in the order in which  they  are  defined
     until one generates at least one match. E.g.:

          compctl -M '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'

     This  will  first  try  completion  without any global match
     specifications (the empty string) and, if that generates  no
     matches, will try case insensitive completion.

OPTION FLAGS
     [ -fcFBdeaRGovNAIOPZEnbjrzu/12 ]
     [ -k array ] [ -g globstring ] [ -s subststring ]
     [ -K function ]
     [ -Q ] [ -P prefix ] [ -S suffix ]
     [ -W file-prefix ] [ -H num pattern ]
     [ -q ] [ -X explanation ] [ -Y explanation ]
     [ -y func-or-var ] [ -l cmd ] [ -h cmd ] [ -U ]
     [ -t continue ] [ -J name ] [ -V name ]
     [ -M match-spec ]

     The  remaining options specify the type of command arguments
     to look for during completion.   Any  combination  of  these
     flags  may  be specified; the result is a sorted list of all
     the possibilities.  The options are as follows.

  Simple Flags
     These produce completion lists made up by the shell itself:

     -f   Filenames and file system paths.

     -/   Just file system paths.

     -c   Command  names,  including  aliases,  shell  functions,
          builtins and reserved words.

     -F   Function names.

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



     -B   Names of builtin commands.

     -m   Names of external commands.

     -w   Reserved words.

     -a   Alias names.

     -R   Names of regular (non-global) aliases.

     -G   Names of global aliases.

     -d   This  can be combined with -F, -B, -w, -a, -R and -G to
          get names of  disabled  functions,  builtins,  reserved
          words or aliases.

     -e   This  option (to show enabled commands) is in effect by
          default, but may be combined with -d; -de  in  combina-
          tion with -F, -B, -w, -a, -R and -G will complete names
          of  functions,  builtins,  reserved  words  or  aliases
          whether or not they are disabled.

     -o   Names of shell options (see zshoptions(1)).

     -v   Names of any variable defined in the shell.

     -N   Names of scalar (non-array) parameters.

     -A   Array names.

     -I   Names of integer variables.

     -O   Names of read-only variables.

     -p   Names  of  parameters used by the shell (including spe-
          cial parameters).

     -Z   Names of shell special parameters.

     -E   Names of environment variables.

     -n   Named directories.

     -b   Key binding names.

     -j   Job names:  the first word of the job leader's  command
          line.  This is useful with the kill builtin.

     -r   Names of running jobs.

     -z   Names of suspended jobs.

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



     -u   User names.

  Flags with Arguments
     These have user supplied arguments to determine how the list
     of completions is to be made up:

     -k array
          Names taken from the elements of $array (note that  the
          `$'  does  not  appear  on the command line).  Alterna-
          tively, the argument array  itself  may  be  a  set  of
          space-  or  comma-separated  values  in parentheses, in
          which any delimiter may be escaped with a backslash; in
          this case the argument should be quoted.  For example,

               compctl -k "(cputime filesize datasize stacksize
                           coredumpsize resident descriptors)" limit

     -g globstring
          The  globstring is expanded using filename globbing; it
          should be quoted to protect it  from  immediate  expan-
          sion. The resulting filenames are taken as the possible
          completions.  Use `*(/)' instead of `*/'  for  directo-
          ries.   The fignore special parameter is not applied to
          the resulting files.  More  than  one  pattern  may  be
          given  separated  by blanks. (Note that brace expansion
          is not part of globbing.  Use the syntax  `(either|or)'
          to match alternatives.)

     -s subststring
          The subststring is split into words and these words are
          than expanded using all shell expansion mechanisms (see
          zshexpn(1)).  The resulting words are taken as possible
          completions.  The  fignore  special  parameter  is  not
          applied to the resulting files.  Note that -g is faster
          for filenames.

     -K function
          Call the given function to get the completions.  Unless
          the  name  starts  with  an underscore, the function is
          passed two arguments: the prefix and the suffix of  the
          word  on  which completion is to be attempted, in other
          words those characters before the cursor position,  and
          those from the cursor position onwards.  The whole com-
          mand line can be accessed with the -c and -l  flags  of
          the  read builtin. The function should set the variable
          reply to an array containing the completions (one  com-
          pletion  per  element);  note  that reply should not be
          made local to the function.  From such a  function  the
          command  line  can be accessed with the -c and -l flags
          to the read builtin.  For example,

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



               function whoson { reply=(`users`); }
               compctl -K whoson talk

          completes only logged-on users after `talk'.  Note that
          `whoson' must return an array, so `reply=`users`' would
          be incorrect.

     -H num pattern
          The possible completions are taken from  the  last  num
          history  lines.  Only words matching pattern are taken.
          If num  is  zero  or  negative  the  whole  history  is
          searched  and  if pattern is the empty string all words
          are taken (as with `*').  A typical use is

               compctl -D -f + -H 0 ''

          which forces completion to look  back  in  the  history
          list for a word if no filename matches.

  Control Flags
     These do not directly specify types of name to be completed,
     but manipulate the options that do:

     -Q   This instructs the shell not to quote  any  metacharac-
          ters in the possible completions.  Normally the results
          of a completion are inserted into the command line with
          any  metacharacters quoted so that they are interpreted
          as normal characters.  This is  appropriate  for  file-
          names  and  ordinary  strings.   However,  for  special
          effects, such as inserting a backquoted expression from
          a completion array (-k) so that the expression will not
          be evaluated until the complete line is executed,  this
          option must be used.

     -P prefix
          The  prefix  is  inserted  just  before  the  completed
          string; any initial part already  typed  will  be  com-
          pleted and the whole prefix ignored for completion pur-
          poses.  For example,

               compctl -j -P "%" kill

          inserts a `%' after the kill command and then completes
          job names.

     -S suffix
          When a completion is found the suffix is inserted after
          the completed string.  In the case of  menu  completion
          the  suffix  is  inserted  immediately, but it is still
          possible to cycle through the list  of  completions  by
          repeatedly hitting the same key.

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



     -W file-prefix
          With  directory file-prefix:  for command, file, direc-
          tory and globbing completion (options -c, -f, -/,  -g),
          the  file  prefix  is  implicitly added in front of the
          completion.  For example,

               compctl -/ -W ~/Mail maildirs

          completes any subdirectories to any depth  beneath  the
          directory  ~/Mail, although that prefix does not appear
          on the command line.  The file-prefix may  also  be  of
          the  form  accepted by the -k flag, i.e. the name of an
          array or a literal list in parenthesis.  In  this  case
          all  the  directories  in the list will be searched for
          possible completions.

     -q   If used with a suffix as specified by  the  -S  option,
          this  causes the suffix to be removed if the next char-
          acter typed is a blank or does not insert  anything  or
          if  the  suffix  consists of only one character and the
          next character typed is the same  character;  this  the
          same  rule  used for the AUTO_REMOVE_SLASH option.  The
          option is  most  useful  for  list  separators  (comma,
          colon, etc.).

     -l cmd
          This  option  restricts the range of command line words
          that are considered to be arguments.  If combined  with
          one  of  the  extended  completion  patterns  `p[...]',
          `r[...]', or `R[...]'  (see the section `Extended  Com-
          pletion' below) the range is restricted to the range of
          arguments specified in  the  brackets.   Completion  is
          then  performed as if these had been given as arguments
          to the cmd supplied with the option. If the cmd  string
          is  empty  the first word in the range is instead taken
          as the command name, and command name  completion  per-
          formed on the first word in the range.  For example,

               compctl -x 'r[-exec,;]' -l '' -- find

          completes  arguments  between `-exec' and the following
          `;' (or the end of the command line if there is no such
          string) as if they were a separate command line.

     -h cmd
          Normally  zsh completes quoted strings as a whole. With
          this option, completion can be done separately on  dif-
          ferent  parts  of  such  strings.  It works like the -l
          option but makes the completion code work on the  parts
          of the current word that are separated by spaces. These
          parts are completed as if they were  arguments  to  the
          given  cmd.  If cmd is the empty string, the first part

User Commands                                       ZSHCOMPCTL(1)



          is completed as a command name, as with -l.

     -U   Use the whole list of possible completions, whether  or
          not  they  actually match the word on the command line.
          The word typed so far will be deleted.   This  is  most
          useful  with  a function (given by the -K option) which
          can examine the word components passed to  it  (or  via
          the  read  builtin's  -c  and -l flags) and use its own
          criteria to decide what matches.  If there is  no  com-
          pletion, the original word is retained.  Since the pro-
          duced possible completions seldom have interesting com-
          mon  prefixes  and suffixes, menu completion is started
          immediately if AUTO_MENU is set and this flag is  used.

     -y func-or-var
          The  list  provided by func-or-var is displayed instead
          of the  list  of  completions  whenever  a  listing  is
          required; the actual completions to be inserted are not
          affected.  It can be provided in two ways. Firstly,  if
          func-or-var  begins  with a $ it defines a variable, or
          if it begins with a left parenthesis a  literal  array,
          which  contains the list.  A variable may have been set
          by a call to a function using the -K option.  Otherwise
          it  contains  the name of a function which will be exe-
          cuted to create the list.  The function will be  passed
          as an argument list all matching completions, including
          prefixes and suffixes expanded in full, and should  set
          the array reply to the result.  In both cases, the dis-
          play list will only be retrieved after a complete  list
          of matches has been created.

          Note  that  the  returned  list does not have to corre-
          spond, even in length, to the original set of  matches,
          and  may be passed as a scalar instead of an array.  No
          special formatting of characters is  performed  on  the
          output  in  this  case;  in  particular,  newlines  are
          printed literally and if they appear output in  columns
          is suppressed.

     -X explanation
          Print explanation when trying completion on the current
          set of options. A `%n' in this string  is  replaced  by
          the number of matches that were added for this explana-
          tion string.  The explanation only appears  if  comple-
          tion  was  tried and there was no unique match, or when
          listing completions. Explanation strings will be listed
          together  with  the  matches  of  the  group  specified
          together with  the  -X  option  (using  the  -J  or  -V
          option).  If  the  same  explanation string is given to
          multiple -X options, the string appears only once  (for
          each  group)  and  the  number of matches shown for the
          `%n' is the total number of all  matches  for  each  of

          only be shown if there was at least one match added for
          the explanation string.

          The sequences %B, %b, %S, %s, %U, and %u specify output
          attributes (bold, standout, and underline), %F, %f, %K,
          %k  specify  foreground  and  background  colours,  and
          %{...%} can be used to include literal escape sequences
          as in prompts.

     -Y explanation
          Identical  to  -X,  except  that  the explanation first
          undergoes  expansion  following  the  usual  rules  for
          strings  in  double quotes.  The expansion will be car-
          ried out after any functions are called for the  -K  or
          -y options, allowing them to set variables.

     -t continue
          The continue-string contains a character that specifies
          which set of completion flags should be used next.   It
          is useful:

          (i)  With  -T, or when trying a list of pattern comple-
          tions, when compctl would usually continue  with  ordi-
          nary processing after finding matches; this can be sup-
          pressed with `-tn'.

          (ii) With a list of alternatives separated by  +,  when
          compctl  would  normally  stop when one of the alterna-
          tives generates matches.  It can be forced to  consider
          the  next  set  of  completions  by adding `-t+' to the
          flags of the alternative before the `+'.

          (iii) In an extended completion list (see below),  when
          compctl  would  normally continue until a set of condi-
          tions succeeded, then use only the immediately  follow-
          ing  flags.   With  `-t-', compctl will continue trying
          extended completions after the next `-'; with `-tx'  it
          will  attempt  completion  with  the  default flags, in
          other words those before the `-x'.

     -J name
          This gives the name of the group the matches should  be
          placed  in.  Groups  are  listed and sorted separately;
          likewise, menu completion will offer the matches in the
          groups  in  the order in which the groups were defined.
          If no group name is explicitly given, the  matches  are
          stored in a group named default. The first time a group
          name is encountered, a group with that name is created.
          After  that  all  matches  with the same group name are
          stored in that group.

          This can be useful with non-exclusive alternative  com-
          pletions.  For example, in

               compctl -f -J files -t+ + -v -J variables foo

          both  files  and variables are possible completions, as
          the -t+ forces both sets  of  alternatives  before  and
          after  the  + to be considered at once.  Because of the
          -J options, however, all files are  listed  before  all
          variables.

     -V name
          Like  -J,  but  matches  within  the  group will not be
          sorted  in  listings  nor  in  menu  completion.  These
          unsorted  groups are in a different name space from the
          sorted ones, so groups defined as -J files and -V files
          are distinct.

     -1   If  given  together with the -V option, makes only con-
          secutive duplicates in the group be removed. Note  that
          groups with and without this flag are in different name
          spaces.

     -2   If given together with the -J or -V option,  makes  all
          duplicates be kept. Again, groups with and without this
          flag are in different name spaces.

     -M match-spec
          This defines additional matching control specifications
          that  should  be  used  only when testing words for the
          list of flags this flag appears in. The format  of  the
          match-spec string is described in zshcompwid.

ALTERNATIVE COMPLETION
     compctl [ -CDT ] options + options [ + ... ] [ + ] command
          ...

     The form with `+' specifies alternative options.  Completion
     is tried with the options before the first `+'. If this pro-
     duces no matches completion is tried with  the  flags  after
     the  `+' and so on. If there are no flags after the last `+'
     and a match has not been found up  to  that  point,  default
     completion  is  tried.   If  the list of flags contains a -t
     with a + character, the next list of flags is used  even  if
     the current list produced matches.

     Additional options are available that restrict completion to
     some part of the  command  line;  this  is  referred  to  as
     `extended completion'.

EXTENDED COMPLETION
     compctl [ -CDT ] options -x pattern options - ... --

              [ command ... ]
     compctl [ -CDT ] options [ -x pattern options - ... -- ]
              [ + options [ -x ... -- ] ... [+] ] [ command ... ]

     The form with `-x' specifies  extended  completion  for  the
     commands  given;  as shown, it may be combined with alterna-
     tive completion using `+'.   Each  pattern  is  examined  in
     turn;  when  a match is found, the corresponding options, as
     described in the section `Option Flags' above, are  used  to
     generate  possible  completions.  If no pattern matches, the
     options given before the -x are used.

     Note that each pattern should be supplied as a single  argu-
     ment  and should be quoted to prevent expansion of metachar-
     acters by the shell.

     A pattern is built of sub-patterns separated by  commas;  it
     matches  if at least one of these sub-patterns matches (they
     are `or'ed). These sub-patterns  are  in  turn  composed  of
     other  sub-patterns separated by white spaces which match if
     all of the sub-patterns match (they are `and'ed).   An  ele-
     ment of the sub-patterns is of the form `c[...][...]', where
     the pairs of brackets may be repeated as often as necessary,
     and  matches if any of the sets of brackets match (an `or').
     The example below makes this clearer.

     The elements may be any of the following:

     s[string]...
          Matches if the current word on the command line  starts
          with  one of the strings given in brackets.  The string
          is not removed and is not part of the completion.

     S[string]...
          Like s[string] except that the string is  part  of  the
          completion.

     p[from,to]...
          Matches  if  the  number of the current word is between
          one of the from and to pairs inclusive. The  comma  and
          to are optional; to defaults to the same value as from.
          The numbers may be negative: -n refers to the n'th last
          word on the line.

     c[offset,string]...
          Matches if the string matches the word offset by offset
          from the current word position.  Usually offset will be
          negative.

     C[offset,pattern]...
          Like c but using pattern matching instead.

     w[index,string]...
          Matches  if  the word in position index is equal to the
          corresponding string.  Note that the word count is made
          after any alias expansion.

     W[index,pattern]...
          Like w but using pattern matching instead.

     n[index,string]...
          Matches  if the current word contains string.  Anything
          up to and including  the  indexth  occurrence  of  this
          string  will  not be considered part of the completion,
          but the rest will.  index may be negative to count from
          the  end:  in  most  cases, index will be 1 or -1.  For
          example,

               compctl -s '`users`' -x 'n[1,@]' -k hosts -- talk

          will usually complete usernames, but if you insert an @
          after  the name, names from the array hosts (assumed to
          contain hostnames, though you must make the array your-
          self)  will  be  completed.  Other commands such as rcp
          can be handled similarly.

     N[index,string]...
          Like n except that the string will be taken as a  char-
          acter  class.  Anything up to and including the indexth
          occurrence of any of the characters in string will  not
          be considered part of the completion.

     m[min,max]...
          Matches  if  the total number of words lies between min
          and max inclusive.

     r[str1,str2]...
          Matches if the cursor is after a word with prefix str1.
          If there is also a word with prefix str2 on the command
          line after the one matched by str1 it matches  only  if
          the  cursor  is before this word. If the comma and str2
          are omitted, it matches if the cursor is after  a  word
          with prefix str1.

     R[str1,str2]...
          Like r but using pattern matching instead.

     q[str]...
          Matches the word currently being completed is in single
          quotes and the str begins with the letter  `s',  or  if
          completion is done in double quotes and str starts with
          the letter `d', or if completion is done  in  backticks
          and str starts with a `b'.

          if ((the current word begins with + and the previous word is -f)
          or (the current word begins with -f+)), then complete the
          non-directory part (the `:t' glob modifier) of files in the directory
          ~/Mail; else

          if the current word begins with -f or the previous word was -f, then
          complete any file; else

          complete user names.
