Hi,
ZnZ and I wrote _ri, a zsh completion function for ri. We think it is very useful.
It also works well. But we are not certain about how to use zsh bullt-in functions.
Are there any zsh expert who can brush up this code?
How to install:
1. put _ri file into /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix.
2. add the next line to ~/.zshrc
zstyle ':completion:*' use-cache true
----- from here ------
#compdef ri
_arguments -C -s \
'(-h --help)'{-h,--help}'[print help message]' \
'(-c --classes)'{-c,--classes}'[Display the names of classes and modules we know about]' \
'-d+[A directory to search for documentation]:directory:_files -/' \
'(-f --format)'{-f,--format}'[Format to use when displaying output]:format:(ansi bs html plain simple)' \
'(-l --list-names)'{-l,--list-names}'[List all the names known to RDoc, one per line]' \
'(-T --no-pager)'{-T,--no-pager}'[Send output directly to stdout]' \
'(-w --width)'{-w+,--width+}'[output width]' \
'(-v --version)'{-v,--version}'[Display the version of ri]' \
"*:names:->ri_names" \
&& return 0
if [[ $state = ri_names ]]; then
if ( [[ ${+_ri_list_names} -eq 0 ]] || _cache_invalid ri-names ) &&
! _retrieve_cache ri-names; then
_ri_list_names=( $(_call_program ri--list-names ri -l 2>/dev/null) )
_store_cache ri-names _ri_list_names
fi
_wanted ri_names expl 'ri --list-names' compadd "$@" -a _ri_list_names
fi
----- to here -----
Regards,
