I'm looking for an auto-end console method - for example, for an application like:
int main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
if (argc == 1) return EXIT_FAILURE;
if (strcmp(argv[1], "good")==0) printf("good\n");
if (strcmp(argv[1], "bad")==0) printf("bad\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
At startup, I would like to press [tab] after the command so that it gives me one of the possible useful parameters.
Example:
./a.out g[tab]
will be completed automatically before
./a.out good
I do not want to edit / etc / bash-completion.d /, I was hoping for a much stronger autocomplete, something like a function of the executable file itself that would be called - perhaps this could query the database for a list of possible options. Or perhaps a message is displayed letting you know what options are.
If you think this is just completely impossible, let me know!
