bashcomp

Package bashcomp generates a bash completion source file for a command executable.

Example: (this file is in sample1/.)

package main

import (
    "flag"
    "github.com/omakoto/bashcomp"
)

var (
    test = flag.Bool("test", false, "test flag")
    foo  = flag.Bool("foo", false, "test flag 2")
)

func main() {
    bashcomp.HandleBashCompletion()
}

When this program is executed with -bash-completion flag, it prints a bash source file and exits. Source this output line this:

$ . <(testcmd1 -bash-completion)

Then,

$ testcmd1 -[TAB][TAB]

will show

-foo  -test
