I've sketched some bash completions. Nothing extra fancy just command-line options and some a couple of options with predefined values.
To test you may
export BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR=/path/to/po4a/share/bash-completion/and then play withpo4a -<TAB><TAB>etc.Note that the completions are using
<script> --help, and since po4a has to process PODs to print it, the completions are lagging a bit (~200ms, not absolutely infuriating, but still noticeable and slightly annoying).But I need some help with installation scripting, I have very little idea how to do it with perl. The files in
share/bash-completion/completionsare supposed to be installed to directory pointed bypkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion. Usually it's/usr/share/bash-completion/completions.PS: Also the commit contains several symlinks. I'm not sure if it's ok to store those in the sources. If not, those should be also created during build.
Closes: #417
