VIS-COMPLETE(1) General Commands Manual VIS-COMPLETE(1) NAME vis-complete -- Interactively complete file or word SYNOPSIS vis-complete [--file | --word] [--] pattern vis-complete -h | --help DESCRIPTION vis-complete takes a pattern on the command-line and completes file or word and displays them in a menu for the user to select one. Once the user has selected a completion, the completion (excluding the pattern) is printed to standard output. vis-complete uses vis-menu(1) as its user-interface, so see that page for more details. --file This passes pattern to find to obtain a list of matching file names (this is the default). --word This reads standard input to obtain a list of lines matching pattern. -- An argument following this token will be treated as pattern, even if it would otherwise be a valid command-line option. If encountered after a previous instance of -- it is treated as a pattern. pattern The pattern to be completed by file or word. -h | --help If present, vis-complete prints a usage summary and exits, ignoring any other flag and arguments. EXIT STATUS The vis-complete utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. In particular, like vis-menu(1), vis-complete prints nothing and sets its exit status to 1 if the user refused to select a file. SEE ALSO vis(1), vis-menu(1) BUGS Because vis-complete uses find(1) to obtain the list of files, weird things might happen if you have control-characters in your filenames.
