# Tab completion for Go binary #
## Introduction ##
This program provides tab completion information for the Go binary. Currently,
this only works with the *doc* tool in the *go* binary for version 1.5.
Furthermore, this only works for bash, but thin wrappers can be used to make it
work with other shells.
## Installation ##
1. Get and build the binary: ```go get github.com/dsnet/gotab```
2. If necessary, place ```$GOPATH/bin``` in your ```$PATH```. Otherwise, copy
the binary from ```$GOPATH/bin/gotab``` to somewhere reachable from ```$PATH```.
3. Add the following to your bashrc file: ```complete -C gotab -o nospace go```
## Usage ##
Use the go binary and hit tab to auto-complete if possible.
Thus, when you type the following and hit tab:
```bash
$ go doc runtime CP
```
It will auto-complete to the following:
```bash
$ go doc runtime CPUProfile
```
If there are more than one possible completion, then they will be listed:
```bash
$ go doc runtime Read
ReadMemStats ReadTrace
```
