Modifying Text
--------------

 - Function: int rl_insert_text (char *text)
     Insert TEXT into the line at the current cursor position.

 - Function: int rl_delete_text (int start, int end)
     Delete the text between START and END in the current line.

 - Function: char * rl_copy_text (int start, int end)
     Return a copy of the text between START and END in the current
     line.

 - Function: int rl_kill_text (int start, int end)
     Copy the text between START and END in the current line to the
     kill ring, appending or prepending to the last kill if the last
     command was a kill command.  The text is deleted.  If START is
     less than END, the text is appended, otherwise prepended.  If the
     last command was not a kill, a new kill ring slot is used.


File: readline.info,  Node: Utility Functions,  Prev: Modifying Text,  Up: Readline Convenience Functions

Utility Functions
-----------------

 - Function: int rl_reset_terminal (char *terminal_name)
     Reinitialize Readline's idea of the terminal settings using
     TERMINAL_NAME as the terminal type (e.g., `vt100').

 - Function: int alphabetic (int c)
     Return 1 if C is an alphabetic character.

 - Function: int numeric (int c)
     Return 1 if C is a numeric character.

 - Function: int ding ()
     Ring the terminal bell, obeying the setting of `bell-style'.

   The following are implemented as macros, defined in `chartypes.h'.

 - Function: int uppercase_p (int c)
     Return 1 if C is an uppercase alphabetic character.

 - Function: int lowercase_p (int c)
     Return 1 if C is a lowercase alphabetic character.

 - Function: int digit_p (int c)
     Return 1 if C is a numeric character.

 - Function: int to_upper (int c)
     If C is a lowercase alphabetic character, return the corresponding
     uppercase character.

 - Function: int to_lower (int c)
     If C is an uppercase alphabetic character, return the corresponding
     lowercase character.

 - Function: int digit_value (int c)
     If C is a number, return the value it represents.

An Example
----------

   Here is a function which changes lowercase characters to their
uppercase equivalents, and uppercase characters to lowercase.  If this
function was bound to `M-c', then typing `M-c' would change the case of
the character under point.  Typing `M-1 0 M-c' would change the case of
the following 10 characters, leaving the cursor on the last character
changed.

     /* Invert the case of the COUNT following characters. */
     int
     invert_case_line (count, key)
          int count, key;
     {
       register int start, end, i;
     
       start = rl_point;
     
       if (rl_point >= rl_end)
         return (0);
     
       if (count < 0)
         {
           direction = -1;
           count = -count;
         }
       else
         direction = 1;
     
       /* Find the end of the range to modify. */
       end = start + (count * direction);
     
       /* Force it to be within range. */
       if (end > rl_end)
         end = rl_end;
       else if (end < 0)
         end = 0;
     
       if (start == end)
         return (0);
     
       if (start > end)
         {
           int temp = start;
           start = end;
           end = temp;
         }
     
       /* Tell readline that we are modifying the line, so it will save
          the undo information. */
       rl_modifying (start, end);
     
       for (i = start; i != end; i++)
         {
           if (uppercase_p (rl_line_buffer[i]))
             rl_line_buffer[i] = to_lower (rl_line_buffer[i]);
           else if (lowercase_p (rl_line_buffer[i]))
             rl_line_buffer[i] = to_upper (rl_line_buffer[i]);
         }
       /* Move point to on top of the last character changed. */
       rl_point = (direction == 1) ? end - 1 : start;
       return (0);
     }

Custom Completers
=================

   Typically, a program that reads commands from the user has a way of
disambiguating commands and data.  If your program is one of these, then
it can provide completion for commands, data, or both.  The following
sections describe how your program and Readline cooperate to provide
this service.

* Menu:

* How Completing Works::	The logic used to do completion.
* Completion Functions::	Functions provided by Readline.
* Completion Variables::	Variables which control completion.
* A Short Completion Example::	An example of writing completer subroutines.


File: readline.info,  Node: How Completing Works,  Next: Completion Functions,  Up: Custom Completers

How Completing Works
--------------------

   In order to complete some text, the full list of possible completions
must be available.  That is, it is not possible to accurately expand a
partial word without knowing all of the possible words which make sense
in that context.  The Readline library provides the user interface to
completion, and two of the most common completion functions:  filename
and username.  For completing other types of text, you must write your
own completion function.  This section describes exactly what such
functions must do, and provides an example.

   There are three major functions used to perform completion:

  1. The user-interface function `rl_complete ()'.  This function is
     called with the same arguments as other Readline functions
     intended for interactive use:  COUNT and INVOKING_KEY.  It
     isolates the word to be completed and calls `completion_matches
     ()' to generate a list of possible completions.  It then either
     lists the possible completions, inserts the possible completions,
     or actually performs the completion, depending on which behavior
     is desired.

  2. The internal function `completion_matches ()' uses your
     "generator" function to generate the list of possible matches, and
     then returns the array of these matches.  You should place the
     address of your generator function in
     `rl_completion_entry_function'.

  3. The generator function is called repeatedly from
     `completion_matches ()', returning a string each time.  The
     arguments to the generator function are TEXT and STATE.  TEXT is
     the partial word to be completed.  STATE is zero the first time
     the function is called, allowing the generator to perform any
     necessary initialization, and a positive non-zero integer for each
     subsequent call.  When the generator function returns `(char
     *)NULL' this signals `completion_matches ()' that there are no
     more possibilities left.  Usually the generator function computes
     the list of possible completions when STATE is zero, and returns
     them one at a time on subsequent calls.  Each string the generator
     function returns as a match must be allocated with `malloc()';
     Readline frees the strings when it has finished with them.


 - Function: int rl_complete (int ignore, int invoking_key)
     Complete the word at or before point.  You have supplied the
     function that does the initial simple matching selection algorithm
     (see `completion_matches ()').  The default is to do filename
     completion.

 - Variable: Function * rl_completion_entry_function
     This is a pointer to the generator function for `completion_matches
     ()'.  If the value of `rl_completion_entry_function' is `(Function
     *)NULL' then the default filename generator function,
     `filename_entry_function ()', is used.

Completion Functions
--------------------

   Here is the complete list of callable completion functions present in
Readline.

 - Function: int rl_complete_internal (int what_to_do)
     Complete the word at or before point.  WHAT_TO_DO says what to do
     with the completion.  A value of `?' means list the possible
     completions.  `TAB' means do standard completion.  `*' means
     insert all of the possible completions.  `!' means to display all
     of the possible completions, if there is more than one, as well as
     performing partial completion.

 - Function: int rl_complete (int ignore, int invoking_key)
     Complete the word at or before point.  You have supplied the
     function that does the initial simple matching selection algorithm
     (see `completion_matches ()' and `rl_completion_entry_function').
     The default is to do filename completion.  This calls
     `rl_complete_internal ()' with an argument depending on
     INVOKING_KEY.

 - Function: int rl_possible_completions (int count, int invoking_key))
     List the possible completions.  See description of `rl_complete
     ()'.  This calls `rl_complete_internal ()' with an argument of `?'.

 - Function: int rl_insert_completions (int count, int invoking_key))
     Insert the list of possible completions into the line, deleting the
     partially-completed word.  See description of `rl_complete ()'.
     This calls `rl_complete_internal ()' with an argument of `*'.

 - Function: char ** completion_matches (char *text, CPFunction
          *entry_func)
     Returns an array of `(char *)' which is a list of completions for
     TEXT.  If there are no completions, returns `(char **)NULL'.  The
     first entry in the returned array is the substitution for TEXT.
     The remaining entries are the possible completions.  The array is
     terminated with a `NULL' pointer.

     ENTRY_FUNC is a function of two args, and returns a `(char *)'.
     The first argument is TEXT.  The second is a state argument; it is
     zero on the first call, and non-zero on subsequent calls.
     eNTRY_FUNC returns a `NULL'  pointer to the caller when there are
     no more matches.

 - Function: char * filename_completion_function (char *text, int state)
     A generator function for filename completion in the general case.
     Note that completion in Bash is a little different because of all
     the pathnames that must be followed when looking up completions
     for a command.  The Bash source is a useful reference for writing
     custom completion functions.

 - Function: char * username_completion_function (char *text, int state)
     A completion generator for usernames.  TEXT contains a partial
     username preceded by a random character (usually `~').  As with all
     completion generators, STATE is zero on the first call and non-zero
     for subsequent calls.

Completion Variables
--------------------

 - Variable: Function * rl_completion_entry_function
     A pointer to the generator function for `completion_matches ()'.
     `NULL' means to use `filename_entry_function ()', the default
     filename completer.

 - Variable: CPPFunction * rl_attempted_completion_function
     A pointer to an alternative function to create matches.  The
     function is called with TEXT, START, and END.  START and END are
     indices in `rl_line_buffer' saying what the boundaries of TEXT
     are.  If this function exists and returns `NULL', or if this
     variable is set to `NULL', then `rl_complete ()' will call the
     value of `rl_completion_entry_function' to generate matches,
     otherwise the array of strings returned will be used.

 - Variable: int rl_completion_query_items
     Up to this many items will be displayed in response to a
     possible-completions call.  After that, we ask the user if she is
     sure she wants to see them all.  The default value is 100.

 - Variable: char * rl_basic_word_break_characters
     The basic list of characters that signal a break between words for
     the completer routine.  The default value of this variable is the
     characters which break words for completion in Bash, i.e., `"
     \t\n\"\\'`@$><=;|&{("'.

 - Variable: char * rl_completer_word_break_characters
     The list of characters that signal a break between words for
     `rl_complete_internal ()'.  The default list is the value of
     `rl_basic_word_break_characters'.

 - Variable: char * rl_special_prefixes
     The list of characters that are word break characters, but should
     be left in TEXT when it is passed to the completion function.
     Programs can use this to help determine what kind of completing to
     do.  For instance, Bash sets this variable to "$@" so that it can
     complete shell variables and hostnames.

 - Variable: int rl_ignore_completion_duplicates
     If non-zero, then disallow duplicates in the matches.  Default is
     1.

 - Variable: int rl_filename_completion_desired
     Non-zero means that the results of the matches are to be treated as
     filenames.  This is *always* zero on entry, and can only be changed
     within a completion entry generator function.  If it is set to a
     non-zero value, directory names have a slash appended and Readline
     attempts to quote completed filenames if they contain any embedded
     word break characters.

 - Variable: int rl_filename_quoting_desired
     Non-zero means that the results of the matches are to be quoted
     using double quotes (or an application-specific quoting mechanism)
     if the completed filename contains any characters in
     `rl_completer_word_break_chars'.  This is *always* non-zero on
     entry, and can only be changed within a completion entry generator
     function.

 - Variable: Function * rl_ignore_some_completions_function
     This function, if defined, is called by the completer when real
     filename completion is done, after all the matching names have
     been generated.  It is passed a `NULL' terminated array of matches.
     The first element (`matches[0]') is the maximal substring common
     to all matches. This function can re-arrange the list of matches
     as required, but each element deleted from the array must be freed.

 - Variable: char * rl_completer_quote_characters
     List of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the
     line.  Completion occurs on the entire substring, and within the
     substring `rl_completer_word_break_characters' are treated as any
     other character, unless they also appear within this list.
