bash-cached-completions - cached completions for bash
Published by Tim Cuthbertson
- Overview
This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:
If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.
Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.
Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:
$ 0launch http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/bashcomplete.xml
The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.
If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.

- Description
An easy way to generate a set of bash completion words. Word sets are cached, and generated in the background (so your terminal doesn't hang). The config is all written in python, because python is ace. Every set of words is tied to the cache_key you generate - if you return the same cache_key, the completion will re-use the same set of words. If completion depends on existing arguments, you will need to factor that into your cache_key generation. Cache_keys need to be valid filenames, so b32encode can be useful. Example setup: To enable completions for "my-command": ----------------------------------------- ~/.config/bashcomplete/my-command.py: max_age = 5 * 60 # 5 minutes def cache_key(command, args): import os import base64 return base64.b32encode(os.getcwd()) def get_words(command, args): import time time.sleep(2) # won't lock bash return ['aaa','bbbb','cccc', 'ccdd'] ----------------------------------------- ~/.bashrc: export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/bashcomplete" . /path/to/bashcomplete/init (Or, if you're using 0install) : ----------------------------------------- ~/.bashrc: . $(0launch -c http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/bashcomplete.xml __init)
