[Gllug] apt-get tab complete

[Stig Brautaset]

Hi there,

An acquaintance of mine has written an apt-get tab-completion thingy for
bash (2?). If you put this snippet somewhere in your .bashrc (or put
this in a separate file and source if from .bashrc) you can use tab to
complete not only the first part, but also the install / update /
dist-upgrade part, and even the package names part.

Not much use maybe, but a cool hack. 

# file starts here

function __apt_complete()
{

        local c=${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}

        if [ $COMP_CWORD == 1 ]
        then
                COMPREPLY=(`echo -e 'install\nremove\nupdate\ndist-upgrade' | grep '^'$c`)
        else

                if [ ${COMP_WORDS[1]} == "install" -o ${COMP_WORDS[1]} == "remove" ]
                then
                        COMPREPLY=(`apt-cache pkgnames | grep '^'$c`)
                fi
        fi
}

complete -F __apt_complete apt-get

function __modprobe_complete()
{
        local c=${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}

        COMPREPLY=(`sed '/^$/D;/.o:$/!D;s/.*\///g;s/\.o:$//g' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep | grep '^'$c`)
}

complete -F __modprobe_complete modprobe insmod rmmod

# file ends here

Regards,
Stig
