NAME

	auto-auto-complete - Auto-generate shell auto-completion scripts

SYNOPSIS

	auto-auto-complete shell (-w command | -o output -s source [variable=value] ...)

DESCRIPTION

	auto-auto-complete generates a shell auto-completion script.

	auto-auto-complete provides a LISP-like declarative language for

	creating auto-completion scripts for commands in a shell-agnostic way.

	However, auto-auto-complete's language is limited in comparison to

	for example raw auto-completion scripts for the bash shell, however

	it is well enough for most projects.

OPTIONS

	-o, --output output

		The name of the file to generate.

	-s, -f, --source, --file source

		The name of the file to parse.

	-w, --where command

		Print where, sans the path prefix, the script shall be

		installed if the name of the command is command.

		For example, for the command "cmd", auto-auto-complete bash

		-w cmd would print "/share/bash-completion/completions/cmd",

		meaning that the script shall be installed to

		"/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/cmd" or

		"/usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/cmd" depending

		on the path prefix used for the package.

OPERANDS

	shell

		The shell the auto-completion script shall be generated

		for. Currently supported shells are: bash, fish, and zsh.

	variable=value

		Define a variable to have a specific value.

		Defining a variable multiple times creates an array

		of values for that variable.

RATIONALE

	No one really wants to write shell auto-completion scripts,

	especially not for more than one shell. But of course we

	want to have it.
