Types

type BashCompDirective

type BashCompDirective int

BashCompDirective is a bit map representing the different behaviors the shell can be instructed to have once completions have been provided.

const (
	// BashCompDirectiveError indicates an error occurred and completions should be ignored.
	BashCompDirectiveError BashCompDirective = 1 << iota

	// BashCompDirectiveNoSpace indicates that the shell should not add a space
	// after the completion even if there is a single completion provided.
	BashCompDirectiveNoSpace

	// BashCompDirectiveNoFileComp indicates that the shell should not provide
	// file completion even when no completion is provided.
	// This currently does not work for zsh or bash < 4
	BashCompDirectiveNoFileComp

	// BashCompDirectiveDefault indicates to let the shell perform its default
	// behavior after completions have been provided.
	BashCompDirectiveDefault BashCompDirective = 0
