complete (TAB)
-
Attempt to do completion on the text before the cursor. This is
application-specific. Generally, if you are typing a filename
argument, you can do filename completion; if you are typing a command,
you can do command completion; if you are typing in a symbol to GDB, you
can do symbol name completion; if you are typing in a variable to Bash,
you can do variable name completion, and so on.
Bash attempts completion treating the text as a variable (if the
text begins with `$'), username (if the text begins with
`~'), hostname (if the text begins with `@'), or
command (including aliases and functions) in turn. If none
of these produces a match, filename completion is attempted.
possible-completions (M-?)
-
List the possible completions of the text before the cursor.
insert-completions (M-*)
-
Insert all completions of the text before point that would have
been generated by
possible-completions
.
menu-complete ()
-
Similar to
complete
, but replaces the word to be completed
with a single match from the list of possible completions.
Repeated execution of menu-complete
steps through the list
of possible completions, inserting each match in turn.
At the end of the list of completions, the bell is rung and the
original text is restored.
An argument of n moves n positions forward in the list
of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward
through the list.
This command is intended to be bound to TAB
, but is unbound
by default.
complete-filename (M-/)
-
Attempt filename completion on the text before point.
possible-filename-completions (C-x /)
-
List the possible completions of the text before point,
treating it as a filename.
complete-username (M-~)
-
Attempt completion on the text before point, treating
it as a username.
possible-username-completions (C-x ~)
-
List the possible completions of the text before point,
treating it as a username.
complete-variable (M-$)
-
Attempt completion on the text before point, treating
it as a shell variable.
possible-variable-completions (C-x $)
-
List the possible completions of the text before point,
treating it as a shell variable.
complete-hostname (M-@)
-
Attempt completion on the text before point, treating
it as a hostname.
possible-hostname-completions (C-x @)
-
List the possible completions of the text before point,
treating it as a hostname.
complete-command (M-!)
-
Attempt completion on the text before point, treating
it as a command name. Command completion attempts to
match the text against aliases, reserved words, shell
functions, shell builtins, and finally executable filenames,
in that order.
possible-command-completions (C-x !)
-
List the possible completions of the text before point,
treating it as a command name.
dynamic-complete-history (M-TAB)
-
Attempt completion on the text before point, comparing
the text against lines from the history list for possible
completion matches.
complete-into-braces (M-{)
-
Perform filename completion and return the list of possible completions
enclosed within braces so the list is available to the shell
(see section Brace Expansion).
