<p>Skeleton to copy/paste for writing simple completions.</p>
<p>Assume a program <code>foo</code> with the following interface:</p>
<pre><code class="language-zsh">foo -c green|red|blue -s low|high -f <file> -d <dir> -h
</code></pre>
<p>The completion handler could be implemented as follows in a file called <code>_foo</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-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
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="example-with-optional-arguments"><a class="header" href="#example-with-optional-arguments">Example with optional arguments</a></h3>
<p>For this example we assume that the command <code>foo</code> takes at least three optional
arguments such as</p>
<pre><code class="language-zsh">foo arg1 arg2 arg3 [argN..]
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="language-zsh">function _foo() {
_arguments \
"1:opt 1:(a b c)" \
":opt next:(d e f)" \
"*:opt all:(u v w)"
}
</code></pre>
<p>Explanation:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>1:MSG:ACTION</code> sets completion for the <strong>first</strong> optional argument</li>
<li><code>:MSG:ACTION</code> sets completion for the <strong>next</strong> optional argument</li>
<li><code>*:MSG:ACTION</code> sets completion for the optional argument where none of the
previous rules apply, so in our example for <code>arg3, argN..</code>.</li>
</ul>
