-## Expansion
-
-### Generator
-
-```bash
-# generate sequence from n to m
-{n..m}
-# generate sequence from n to m step by s
-{n..m..s}
-
-# expand cartesian product
-{a,b}{c,d}
-```
-
-### Parameter
-```bash
-# default value
-bar=${foo:-some_val} # if $foo set, then bar=$foo else bar=some_val
-
-# alternate value
-bar=${foo:+bla $foo} # if $foo set, then bar="bla $foo" else bar=""
-
-# check param set
-bar=${foo:?msg} # if $foo set, then bar=$foo else exit and print msg
-
-# indirect
-FOO=foo
-BAR=FOO
-bar=${!BAR} # deref value of BAR -> bar=$FOO
-
-# prefix
-${foo#prefix} # remove prefix when expanding $foo
-# suffix
-${foo%suffix} # remove suffix when expanding $foo
-
-# substitute
-${foo/pattern/string} # replace pattern with string when expanding foo
-# pattern starts with
-# '/' replace all occurences of pattern
-# '#' pattern match at beginning
-# '%' pattern match at end
-
-# set programmatically with priintf builtin
-printf -v "VAR1" "abc"
-NAME=VAR2
-printf -v "$NAME" "%s" "def"
-```
-
-> Note: `prefix`/`suffix`/`pattern` are expanded as [pathnames](#pathname).
-
-### Pathname
-
-```bash
-* match any string
-? match any single char
-\\ match backslash
-[abc] match any char of 'a' 'b' 'c'
-[a-z] match any char between 'a' - 'z'
-[^ab] negate, match all not 'a' 'b'
-[:class:] match any char in class, available:
- alnum,alpha,ascii,blank,cntrl,digit,graph,lower,
- print,punct,space,upper,word,xdigit
-```
-
-With `extglob` shell option enabled it is possible to have more powerful
-patterns. In the following `pattern-list` is one ore more patterns separated
-by `|` char.
-
-```bash
-?(pattern-list) matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns
-*(pattern-list) matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns
-+(pattern-list) matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns
-@(pattern-list) matches one of the given patterns
-!(pattern-list) matches anything except one of the given patterns
-```
-> Note: `shopt -s extglob`/`shopt -u extglob` to enable/disable `extglob`
-> option.
-
-## I/O redirection
-
-> Note: The trick with bash I/O redirection is to interpret from left-to-right.
-
-```bash
-# stdout & stderr to file
-command >file 2>&1
-# equivalent
-command &>file
-
-# stderr to stdout & stdout to file
-command 2>&1 >file
-```
-> The article [Bash One-Liners Explained, Part III: All about
-> redirections](https://catonmat.net/bash-one-liners-explained-part-three)
-> contains some nice visualization to explain bash redirections.
-
-### Explanation
-
-```bash
-j>&i
-```
-Duplicate `fd i` to `fd j`, making `j` a copy of `i`. See [dup2(2)][dup2].
-
-Example:
-```bash
-command 2>&1 >file
-```
-1. duplicate `fd 1` to `fd 2`, effectively redirecting `stderr` to `stdout`
-2. redirect `stdout` to `file`
-
-## Process substitution ([ref][psub])
-
-Process substitution allows to redirect the stdout of multiple processes at
-once.
-```bash
-vim -d <(grep foo bar) <(grep foo moose)
-```
-
-## Command grouping
-
-Execute commands in a group with or without subshell. Can be used to easily
-redirect stdout/stderr of all commands in the group into one file.
-```bash
-# Group commands without subshell.
-v=abc ; { v=foo; echo $v; } ; echo $v
-# foo
-# foo
-
-# Group commands with subshell.
-v=abc ; ( v=foo; echo $v; ) ; echo $v
-# foo
-# abc
-```
-
-## Argument parsing with `getopts`
-
-The `getopts` builtin uses following global variables:
-- `OPTARG`, value of last option argument
-- `OPTIND`, index of the next argument to process (user must reset)
-- `OPTERR`, display errors if set to `1`
-
-```bash
-getopts <optstring> <param> [<args>]
-```
-- `<optstring>` specifies the names of supported options, eg `f:c`
- - `f:` means `-f` option with an argument
- - `c` means `-c` option without an argument
-- `<param>` specifies a variable name which `getopts` fills with the last parsed option argument
-- `<args>` optionally specify argument string to parse, by default `getopts` parses `$@`
-
-### Example
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-function parse_args() {
- while getopts "f:c" PARAM; do
- case $PARAM in
- f) echo "GOT -f $OPTARG";;
- c) echo "GOT -c";;
- *) echo "ERR: print usage"; exit 1;;
- esac
- done
- # users responsibility to reset OPTIND
- OPTIND=1
-}
-
-parse_args -f xxx -c
-parse_args -f yyy
-```
-
-## Regular Expressions
-
-Bash supports regular expression matching with the binary operator `=~`.
-The match results can be accessed via the `$BASH_REMATCH` variable:
-- `${BASH_REMATCH[0]}` contains the full match
-- `${BASH_REMATCH[1]}` contains match of the first capture group
-
-```bash
-INPUT='title foo : 1234'
-REGEX='^title (.+) : ([0-9]+)$'
-if [[ $INPUT =~ $REGEX ]]; then
- echo "${BASH_REMATCH[0]}" # title foo : 1234
- echo "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" # foo
- echo "${BASH_REMATCH[2]}" # 1234
-fi
-```
-> **Caution**: When specifying a `regex` in the `[[ ]]` block directly, quotes will be treated as part of the pattern.
-> `[[ $INPUT =~ "foo" ]]` will match against `"foo"` not `foo`!
-
-## Completion
-
-The `complete` builtin is used to interact with the completion system.
-```bash
-complete # print currently installed completion handler
-complete -F <func> <cmd> # install <func> as completion handler for <cmd>
-complete -r <cmd> # uninstall completion handler for <cmd>
-```
-
-Variables available in completion functions:
-```bash
-# in
-$1 # <cmd>
-$2 # current word
-$3 # privous word
-
-COMP_WORDS # array with current command line words
-COMP_CWORD # index into COMP_WORDS with current cursor position
-
-# out
-COMPREPLY # array with possible completions
-```
-
-The `compgen` builtin is used to generate possible matches by comparing `word`
-against words generated by `option`.
-```bash
-compgen <option> <word>
-
-# usefule options:
-# -W <list> specify list of possible completions
-# -d generate list with dirs
-# -f generate list with files
-# -u generate list with users
-# -e generate list with exported variables
-
-# compare "f" against words "foo" "foobar" "bar" and generate matches
-compgen -W "foo foobar bar" "f"
-
-# compare "hom" against file/dir names and generate matches
-compgen -d -f "hom"
-```
-
-### Example
-Skeleton to copy/paste for writing simple completions.
-
-Assume a program `foo` with the following interface:
-```bash
-foo -c green|red|blue -s low|high -f <file> -h
-```
-
-The completion handler could be implemented as follows:
-```bash
-function _foo() {
- local curr=$2
- local prev=$3
-
- local opts="-c -s -f -h"
- case $prev in
- -c) COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "green red blue" -- $curr) );;
- -s) COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "low high" -- $curr) );;
- -f) COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -f -- $curr) );;
- *) COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "$opts" -- $curr) );;
- esac
-}
-
-complete -F _foo foo
-```

-# fish(1)
-
-## Quick Info
-Fish initialization file `~/.config/fish/config.fish`
-
-Switch between different key bindings:
-- `fish_default_key_bindings` to use default key bindings
-- `fish_vi_key_bindings` to use vi key bindings
-
-## Variables
-Available scopes
-- `local` variable local to a block
-- `global` variable global to shell instance
-- `universal` variable universal to all shell instances + preserved across
- shell restart
-
-### Set/Unset Variables
-```text
-set <name> [<values>]
- -l local scope
- -g global scope
- -U universal scope
- -e erase variable
- -S show verbose info
- -x export to ENV
- -u unexport from ENV
-```
-
-### Special Variables [ref](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#special-variables)
-```sh
-$status # exit code of last command
-$pipestatus # list of exit codes of pipe chain
-
-$fish_pid # pid of parent fish shell ($$ in bash)
-$last_pid # pid of last started process ($! in bash)
-
-$CMD_DURATION # runtime of last command in ms
-```
-
-### Lists
-In `fish` all variables are lists (start with index `1`, but lists can't
-contain lists.
-```sh
-set foo a b c d
-
-echo $foo[1] # a
-echo $foo[-1] # d
-echo $foo[2..3] # b c
-echo $foo[1 3] # a c
-```
-
-`$` can be seen as dereference operator.
-```sh
-set foo a; set a 1337
-echo $$foo # outputs 1337
-```
-
-Cartesian product.
-```sh
-echo file.{h,cc}
-# file.h file.cc
-
-echo {a,b}{1,2}
-# a1 b1 a2 b2
-```
-
-#### `*PATH` [ref](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/language.html#path-variables)
-Lists ending with `PATH` are automatically split at `:` when used and joined
-with `:` when quoted or exported to the environment.
-```sh
-set -x BLA_PATH a:b:c:d
-echo $BLA_PATH # a b c d
-echo "$BLA_PATH" # a:b:c:d (quoted)
-env | grep BLA_PATH # BLA_PATH=a:b:c:d (env)
-
-set FOO_PATH x y z
-echo $FOO_PATH # x y z
-echo "$FOO_PATH" # x:y:z
-```
-
-## Command Handling
-```sh
-# sub-commands are not run in quotes
-echo "ls output: "(ls)
-```
-
-### I/O redirection
-```sh
-# 'noclobber', fail if 'log' already exists
-echo foo >? log
-```
-
-### Process substitution
-Redirect output of multiple processes. Same as `<(..)` in bash.
-```sh
-diff (sort a | psub) (sort b | psub)
-```
-
-## Control Flow
-### `if` / `else`
-```sh
-if grep foo bar
- # do sth
-else if grep foobar bar
- # do sth else
-else
- # do sth else
-end
-```
-
-### `switch`
-```sh
-switch (echo foo)
-case 'foo*'
- # do start with foo
-case bar dudel
- # do bar and dudel
-case '*'
- # do else
-end
-```
-
-### `while` Loop
-```sh
-while true
- echo foo
-end
-```
-
-### `for` Loop
-```sh
-for f in (ls)
- echo $f
-end
-```
-
-## Functions
-Function arguments are passed via `$argv` list.
-```sh
-function fn_foo
- echo $argv
-end
-```
-
-### Autoloading
-When running a command fish attempts to autoload a function. The shell looks
-for `<cmd>.fish` in the locations defined by `$fish_function_path` and loads
-the function lazily if found.
-
-This is the preferred way over monolithically defining all functions in a
-startup script.
-
-### Helper
-```sh
-functions # list al functions
-functions foo # describe function 'foo'
-functions -e foo # erase function 'foo'
-
-funced foo # edit function 'foo'
- # '-e vim' to edit in vim
-```
-
-### Argument parsing and completion
-`argparse` puts options into variables of name `_flag_NAME`.

-complete -c moose --no-files
-
-# Help completion.
-# -n specifies a conditions. The completion is only active if the command
-# returns 0.
-complete -c moose -s h -l help -n "not __fish_contains_opt -s h help" \
- --description "Print usage help and exit"
-
-# File completion.
-# -F force complete files (overwrite --no-files).

-
-# User completion.
-# -a options for completion. Call a function to generate arguments.
-complete -c moose -x -s u -l user -a "(__fish_complete_users)" \
- --description "Specify a user"
-```
-
-## Prompt
-The prompt is defined by the output of the `fish_prompt` function.
-```sh
-function fish_prompt
- set -l cmd_ret
- echo "> "(pwd) $cmd_ret" "
-end
-```
-> Use `set_color` to manipulate terminal colors and `set_color -c` to print the
-> current colors.
-
-
-## Useful Builtins
-List all builtins with `builtins -n`.
-
-```sh
-# history
-history search <str> # search history for <str>
-history merge # merge histories from fish sessions
-
-# list
-count $var # count elements in list
-
-contains /bin $PATH # return 0 (true) 1 (false)
-contains -i /bin $PATH # additionally print index on stdout
-
-# string
-string split SEP STRING
-
-# math
-math -b hex 4096 # output dec as hex
-math 0x1000 # output hex as dec
-math "log2(1024)" # call functions
-math -s0 7/3 # integer division (by default float)
-
-# status
-status -f # abs path of current file
-```
-
-## Keymaps
-```text
- Shift-Tab .............. tab-completion with search

-
-## Variables
-
-```zsh
-# Variable with local scope

-echo $arr[-1] # dd
-
-arr+=(ee)
-echo $arr[-1] # ee
-
-echo $arr[1,3] # aa bb cc
-```
-
-Associative arrays:
-```zsh
-typeset -A arr
-arr[x]='aa'
-arr[y]='bb'
-echo $arr[x] # aa
-```
-
-Tied arrays:
-```zsh
-typeset -T VEC vec=(1 2 3) '|'
-
-echo $vec # 1 2 3
-echo $VEC # 1|2|3
-```
-
-Unique arrays (set):
-```
-typeset -U vec=(1 2 3)
-
-echo $vec # 1 2 3
-vec+=(1 2 4)
-echo $vec # 1 2 3 4
-```
-
-### Expansion Flags
-
-Join array to string `j:sep:`:
-```zsh
-foo=(1 2 3 4)
-echo ${(j:-:)foo} # 1-2-3-4
-echo ${(j:\n:)foo} # join with new lines
-```
-
-Split string to array `s:sep`:

-
-echo ${(k)vec} # a b
-echo ${(v)vec} # aa bb
-echo ${(kv)vec} # a aa b bb
-
-# Iterate over key value pairs.
-for k v in ${(kv)vec)}; do ...; done
-```
-
-## I/O redirections
-
-See [bash - I/O redirection](bash.md#io-redirection)
-
-## Process substitution
-
-Process substitution allows to redirect the stdout of multiple processes at
-once.
-```bash
-vim -d <(grep foo bar) <(grep foo moose)
-```
-
-## Argument parsing with `zparseopts`
-
-```zsh
-zparseopts [-D] [-E] [-A assoc] specs
-```
-Arguments are copied into the associative array `assoc` according to `specs`.
-Each spec is described by an entry as `opt[:][=array]`.
-- `opt` is the option without the `-` char. Passing `-f` is matched against `f`
- opt, `--long` is matched against `-long`.
-- Using `:` means the option will take an argument.
-- The optional `=array` specifies an alternate storage container where this
- option should be stored.
-> Documentation can be found in `man zshmodules`.
-
-### Example
-```zsh
-#!/bin/zsh
-function test() {
- zparseopts -D -E -A opts f=flag o: -long:
- echo "flag $flag"
- echo "o $opts[-o]"
- echo "long $opts[--long]"
- echo "pos $1"
-}
-
-test -f -o OPTION --long LONG_OPT POSITIONAL
-
-# Outputs:
-# flag -f
-# o OPTION
-# long LONG_OPT
-# pos POSITIONAL
-```
-
-## Regular Expressions
-
-Zsh supports regular expression matching with the binary operator `=~`.
-The match results can be accessed via the `$MATCH` variable and
-`$match` indexed array:
-- `$MATCH` contains the full match
-- `$match[1]` contains match of the first capture group
-
-```zsh
-INPUT='title foo : 1234'
-REGEX='^title (.+) : ([0-9]+)$'
-if [[ $INPUT =~ $REGEX ]]; then
- echo "$MATCH" # title foo : 1234
- echo "$match[1]" # foo
- echo "$match[2]" # 1234
-fi
-```
-
-## Completion
-
-### Installation
-
-Completion functions are provided via files and need to be placed in a location
-covered by `$fpath`. By convention the completion files are names as `_<CMD>`.
-
-A completion skeleton for the command `foo`, stored in `_foo`
-```zsh
-#compdef _foo foo
-
-function _foo() {
- ...
-}
-```
-
-Alternatively one can install a completion function explicitly by calling `compdef <FUNC> <CMD>`.
-
-### Completion Variables
-
-Following variables are available in Completion functions:
-```zsh
-$words # array with command line in words
-$#words # number words
-$CURRENT # index into $words for cursor position
-$words[CURRENT-1] # previous word (relative to cursor position)
-```
-
-### Completion Functions
-- `_describe` simple completion, just words + description
-- `_arguments` sophisticated completion, allow to specify actions
-
-#### Completion with [`_describe`][zsh-comp-fn]
-```zsh
-_describe MSG COMP
-```
-- `MSG` simple string with header message
-- `COMP` array of completions where each entry is `"opt:description"`
-
-```zsh
-function _foo() {
- local -a opts
- opts=('bla:desc for bla' 'blu:desc for blu')
- _describe 'foo-msg' opts
-}
-compdef _foo foo
-
-foo <TAB><TAB>
- -- foo-msg --
-bla -- desc for bla
-blu -- desc for blu
-```
-
-#### Completion with [`_arguments`][zsh-comp-fn]
-```zsh
-_arguments SPEC [SPEC...]
-```
-where `SPEC` can have one of the following forms:
-- `OPT[DESC]:MSG:ACTION` for option flags
-- `N:MSG:ACTION` for positional arguments
-
-Available actions
-```zsh
-(op1 op2) list possible matches
-->VAL set $state=VAL and continue, `$state` can be checked later in switch case
-FUNC call func to generate matches
-{STR} evaluate `STR` to generate matches
-```
-
-### Example
-Skeleton to copy/paste for writing simple completions.
-
-Assume a program `foo` with the following interface:
-```zsh
-foo -c green|red|blue -s low|high -f <file> -d <dir> -h
-```
-
-The completion handler could be implemented as follows in a file called `_foo`:
-```zsh
-#compdef _foo foo
-
-function _foo_color() {
- local colors=()
- colors+=('green:green color')
- colors+=('red:red color')
- colors+=('blue:blue color')
- _describe "color" colors
-}
-
-function _foo() {
- _arguments \
- "-c[define color]:color:->s_color" \
- "-s[select sound]:sound:(low high)" \
- "-f[select file]:file:_files" \
- "-d[select dir]:dir:_files -/" \
- "-h[help]"
-
- case $state in
- s_color) _foo_color;;
- esac
-}
-```
-
-### Example with optional arguments
-For this example we assume that the command `foo` takes at least three optional
-arguments such as
-```zsh
-foo arg1 arg2 arg3 [argN..]
-```
-
-```zsh
-function _foo() {
- _arguments \
- "1:opt 1:(a b c)" \
- ":opt next:(d e f)" \
- "*:opt all:(u v w)"
-}
-```
-Explanation:
-- `1:MSG:ACTION` sets completion for the **first** optional argument
-- `:MSG:ACTION` sets completion for the **next** optional argument
-- `*:MSG:ACTION` sets completion for the optional argument where none of the
- previous rules apply, so in our example for `arg3, argN..`.
