description => <<'_',
This routine can complete option names, where the option names are retrieved
from <pm:Getopt::Long> specification. If you provide completion routine in
`completion`, you can also complete _option values_ and _arguments_.
Note that this routine does not use <pm:Getopt::Long> (it does its own parsing)
and currently is not affected by Getopt::Long's configuration. Its behavior
mimics Getopt::Long under these configuration: `no_ignore_case`, `bundling` (or
`no_bundling` if the `bundling` option is turned off). Which I think is the
sensible default. This routine also does not currently support `auto_help` and
`auto_version`, so you'll need to add those options specifically if you want to
recognize `--help/-?` and `--version`, respectively.

args => {
getopt_spec => {
summary => 'Getopt::Long specification',
schema => 'array*',
req => 1,
},
completion => {
summary =>
'Completion routine to complete option value/argument',
schema => 'code*',
description => <<'_',
Completion code will receive a hash of arguments (`%args`) containing these
keys:
* `type` (str, what is being completed, either `optval`, or `arg`)
* `word` (str, word to be completed)
* `cword` (int, position of words in the words array, starts from 0)
* `opt` (str, option name, e.g. `--str`; undef if we're completing argument)
* `ospec` (str, Getopt::Long option spec, e.g. `str|S=s`; undef when completing
argument)
* `argpos` (int, argument position, zero-based; undef if type='optval')
* `nth` (int, the number of times this option has seen before, starts from 0
that means this is the first time this option has been seen; undef when
type='arg')
* `seen_opts` (hash, all the options seen in `words`)
* `parsed_opts` (hash, options parsed the standard/raw way)
as well as all keys from `extras` (but these won't override the above keys).
and is expected to return a completion answer structure as described in
`Complete` which is either a hash or an array. The simplest form of answer is
just to return an array of strings. The various `complete_*` function like those
in <pm:Complete::Util> or the other `Complete::*` modules are suitable to use
here.
Completion routine can also return undef to express declination, in which case
the default completion routine will then be consulted. The default routine
completes from shell environment variables (`$FOO`), Unix usernames (`~foo`),
and files/directories.
Example:
use Complete::Unix qw(complete_user);
use Complete::Util qw(complete_array_elem);
complete_cli_arg(
getopt_spec => [
'help|h' => sub{...},
'format=s' => \$format,
'user=s' => \$user,
],
completion => sub {
my %args = @_;
my $word = $args{word};
my $ospec = $args{ospec};
if ($ospec && $ospec eq 'format=s') {
complete_array_elem(array=>[qw/json text xml yaml/], word=>$word);
} else {
complete_user(word=>$word);
}
},
);
_
},
words => {
summary => 'Command line arguments, like @ARGV',
description => <<'_',
See function `parse_cmdline` in <pm:Complete::Bash> on how to produce this (if
you're using bash).
_
schema => 'array*',
req => 1,
},
cword => {
summary =>
"Index in words of the word we're trying to complete",
description => <<'_',
See function `parse_cmdline` in <pm:Complete::Bash> on how to produce this (if
you're using bash).
_
schema => 'int*',
req => 1,
},
extras => {
summary => 'Add extra arguments to completion routine',
schema => 'hash',
description => <<'_',
The keys from this `extras` hash will be merged into the final `%args` passed to
completion routines. Note that standard keys like `type`, `word`, and so on as
described in the function description will not be overwritten by this.
_
},
bundling => {
schema => 'bool*',
default => 1,
'summary.alt.bool.not' => 'Turn off bundling',
description => <<'_',
If you turn off bundling, completion of short-letter options won't support
bundling (e.g. `-b<tab>` won't add more single-letter options), but single-dash
multiletter options can be recognized. Currently only those specified with a
single dash will be completed. For example if you have `-foo=s` in your option
specification, `-f<tab>` can complete it.
This can be used to complete old-style programs, e.g. emacs which has options
like `-nw`, `-nbc` etc (but also have double-dash options like
`--no-window-system` or `--no-blinking-cursor`).
_
},
},
result_naked => 1,
result => {
schema => ['any*' => of => ['hash*', 'array*']],
description => <<'_',
You can use `format_completion` function in <pm:Complete::Bash> module to format
the result of this function for bash.

=head1 NAME
Complete::Getopt::Long - Complete command-line argument using Getopt::Long specification
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.481 of Complete::Getopt::Long (from Perl distribution Complete-Getopt-Long), released on 2022-08-28.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See L<Getopt::Long::Complete> for an easy way to use this module.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 complete_cli_arg
Usage:
complete_cli_arg(%args) -> hash|array
Complete command-line argument using Getopt::Long specification.
This routine can complete option names, where the option names are retrieved
from L<Getopt::Long> specification. If you provide completion routine in
C<completion>, you can also complete I<option values> and I<arguments>.
Note that this routine does not use L<Getopt::Long> (it does its own parsing)
and currently is not affected by Getopt::Long's configuration. Its behavior
mimics Getopt::Long under these configuration: C<no_ignore_case>, C<bundling> (or
C<no_bundling> if the C<bundling> option is turned off). Which I think is the
sensible default. This routine also does not currently support C<auto_help> and
C<auto_version>, so you'll need to add those options specifically if you want to
recognize C<--help/-?> and C<--version>, respectively.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
=over 4
=item * B<bundling> => I<bool> (default: 1)
If you turn off bundling, completion of short-letter options won't support
bundling (e.g. C<< -bE<lt>tabE<gt> >> won't add more single-letter options), but single-dash
multiletter options can be recognized. Currently only those specified with a
single dash will be completed. For example if you have C<-foo=s> in your option
specification, C<< -fE<lt>tabE<gt> >> can complete it.
This can be used to complete old-style programs, e.g. emacs which has options
like C<-nw>, C<-nbc> etc (but also have double-dash options like
C<--no-window-system> or C<--no-blinking-cursor>).
=item * B<completion> => I<code>
Completion routine to complete option valueE<sol>argument.
Completion code will receive a hash of arguments (C<%args>) containing these
keys:
=over
=item * C<type> (str, what is being completed, either C<optval>, or C<arg>)
=item * C<word> (str, word to be completed)
=item * C<cword> (int, position of words in the words array, starts from 0)
=item * C<opt> (str, option name, e.g. C<--str>; undef if we're completing argument)
=item * C<ospec> (str, Getopt::Long option spec, e.g. C<str|S=s>; undef when completing
argument)
=item * C<argpos> (int, argument position, zero-based; undef if type='optval')
=item * C<nth> (int, the number of times this option has seen before, starts from 0
that means this is the first time this option has been seen; undef when
type='arg')
=item * C<seen_opts> (hash, all the options seen in C<words>)
=item * C<parsed_opts> (hash, options parsed the standard/raw way)
=back
as well as all keys from C<extras> (but these won't override the above keys).
and is expected to return a completion answer structure as described in
C<Complete> which is either a hash or an array. The simplest form of answer is
just to return an array of strings. The various C<complete_*> function like those
in L<Complete::Util> or the other C<Complete::*> modules are suitable to use
here.
Completion routine can also return undef to express declination, in which case
the default completion routine will then be consulted. The default routine
completes from shell environment variables (C<$FOO>), Unix usernames (C<~foo>),
and files/directories.
Example:
use Complete::Unix qw(complete_user);
use Complete::Util qw(complete_array_elem);
complete_cli_arg(
getopt_spec => [
'help|h' => sub{...},
'format=s' => \$format,
'user=s' => \$user,
],
completion => sub {
my %args = @_;
my $word = $args{word};
my $ospec = $args{ospec};
if ($ospec && $ospec eq 'format=s') {
complete_array_elem(array=>[qw/json text xml yaml/], word=>$word);
} else {
complete_user(word=>$word);
}
},
);
=item * B<cword>* => I<int>
Index in words of the word we're trying to complete.
See function C<parse_cmdline> in L<Complete::Bash> on how to produce this (if
you're using bash).
=item * B<extras> => I<hash>
Add extra arguments to completion routine.
The keys from this C<extras> hash will be merged into the final C<%args> passed to
completion routines. Note that standard keys like C<type>, C<word>, and so on as
described in the function description will not be overwritten by this.
=item * B<getopt_spec>* => I<array>
Getopt::Long specification.
=item * B<words>* => I<array>
Command line arguments, like @ARGV.
See function C<parse_cmdline> in L<Complete::Bash> on how to produce this (if
you're using bash).
=back
Return value: (hash|array)
You can use C<format_completion> function in L<Complete::Bash> module to format
the result of this function for bash.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=head2 COMPLETE_GETOPT_LONG_TRACE
Bool. If set to true, will generated more log statements for debugging (at the
trace level).
=head2 COMPLETE_GETOPT_LONG_DEFAULT_ENV
Bool. Default true. Can be set to false to disable completing from environment
variable in default completion.
=head2 COMPLETE_GETOPT_LONG_DEFAULT_FILE
Bool. Default true. Can be set to false to disable completing from filesystem
(file and directory names) in default completion.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
