mkCompleter :: (String -> IO [String]) -> Completer #

Smart constructor for a `Completer`

listIOCompleter :: IO [String] -> Completer #

Create a `Completer` from an IO action

listCompleter :: [String] -> Completer #

Create a `Completer` from a constant list of strings.

bashCompleter :: String -> Completer #

Run a compgen completion action.

Common actions include `file` and `directory`. See http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Programmable-Completion-Builtins.html#Programmable-Completion-Builtins for a complete list.

requote :: String -> String #

Strongly quote the string we pass to compgen.

We need to do this so bash doesn't expand out any ~ or other chars we want to complete on, or emit an end of line error when seeking the close to the quote.
