Method Details
-
complete
Populates candidates with a list of possible completions for the command line. The list of candidates will be sorted and filtered by the LineReader, so that the list of candidates displayed to the user will usually be smaller than the list given by the completer. Thus it is not necessary for the completer to do any matching based on the current buffer. On the contrary, in order for the typo matcher to work, all possible candidates for the word being completed should be returned.- Parameters:
reader
- The line readerline
- The parsed command linecandidates
- TheList
of candidates to populate
