xonsh.completers.bash_completion

This module provides the implementation for the retrieving completion results from bash.

xonsh.completers.bash_completion.bash_complete_line(line, return_line=True, **kwargs)[source]

Provides the completion from the end of the line.

Parameters:
linestr

Line to complete

return_linebool, optional

If true (default), will return the entire line, with the completion added. If false, this will instead return the strings to append to the original line.

kwargsoptional

All other keyword arguments are passed to the bash_completions() function.

Returns:
rtnset of str

Possible completions of prefix

xonsh.completers.bash_completion.bash_completions(prefix, line, begidx, endidx, env=None, paths=None, command=None, quote_paths=<function _bash_quote_paths>, line_args=None, opening_quote='', closing_quote='', arg_index=None, **kwargs)[source]

Completes based on results from BASH completion.

Parameters:
prefixstr

The string to match

linestr

The line that prefix appears on.

begidxint

The index in line that prefix starts on.

endidxint

The index in line that prefix ends on.

envMapping, optional

The environment dict to execute the Bash subprocess in.

pathslist or tuple of str or None, optional

This is a list (or tuple) of strings that specifies where the bash_completion script may be found. The first valid path will be used. For better performance, bash-completion v2.x is recommended since it lazy-loads individual completion scripts. For both bash-completion v1.x and v2.x, paths of individual completion scripts (like .../completes/ssh) do not need to be included here. The default values are platform dependent, but reasonable.

commandstr or None, optional

The /path/to/bash to use. If None, it will be selected based on the from the environment and platform.

quote_pathscallable, optional

A functions that quotes file system paths. You shouldn’t normally need this as the default is acceptable 99+% of the time. This function should return a set of the new paths and a boolean for whether the paths were quoted.

line_argslist of str, optional

A list of the args in the current line to be used instead of line.split(). This is usefull with a space in an argument, e.g. ls 'a dir/'<TAB>.

opening_quotestr, optional

The current argument’s opening quote. This is passed to the quote_paths function.

closing_quotestr, optional

The closing quote that should be used. This is also passed to the quote_paths function.

arg_indexint, optional

The current prefix’s index in the args.

Returns:
rtnset of str

Possible completions of prefix

lprefixint

Length of the prefix to be replaced in the completion.
