<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> defines, removes or lists completions for a command.</p>
<p>For an introduction to writing your own completions, see <a class="reference internal" href="../completions.html"><span class="doc">Writing your own completions</span></a> in
the fish manual.</p>
<p>The following options are available:</p>
<dl class="simple">
<dt><strong>-c</strong> or <strong>--command</strong> <em>COMMAND</em></dt><dd><p>Specifies that <em>COMMAND</em> is the name of the command. If there is no <strong>-c</strong> or <strong>-p</strong>, one non-option argument will be used as the command.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-p</strong> or <strong>--path</strong> <em>COMMAND</em></dt><dd><p>Specifies that <em>COMMAND</em> is the absolute path of the command (optionally containing wildcards).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-e</strong> or <strong>--erase</strong></dt><dd><p>Deletes the specified completion.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-s</strong> or <strong>--short-option</strong> <em>SHORT_OPTION</em></dt><dd><p>Adds a short option to the completions list.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-l</strong> or <strong>--long-option</strong> <em>LONG_OPTION</em></dt><dd><p>Adds a GNU-style long option to the completions list.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-o</strong> or <strong>--old-option</strong> <em>OPTION</em></dt><dd><p>Adds an old-style short or long option (see below for details).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-a</strong> or <strong>--arguments</strong> <em>ARGUMENTS</em></dt><dd><p>Adds the specified option arguments to the completions list.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-k</strong> or <strong>--keep-order</strong></dt><dd><p>Keeps the order of <em>ARGUMENTS</em> instead of sorting alphabetically. Multiple <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> calls with <strong>-k</strong> result in arguments of the later ones displayed first.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-f</strong> or <strong>--no-files</strong></dt><dd><p>This completion may not be followed by a filename.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-F</strong> or <strong>--force-files</strong></dt><dd><p>This completion may be followed by a filename, even if another applicable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> specified <strong>--no-files</strong>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-r</strong> or <strong>--require-parameter</strong></dt><dd><p>This completion must have an option argument, i.e. may not be followed by another option.
This means that the next argument is the argument to the option.
If this is <em>not</em> given, the option argument must be attached like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-xFoo</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--color=auto</span></code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-x</strong> or <strong>--exclusive</strong></dt><dd><p>Short for <strong>-r</strong> and <strong>-f</strong>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-d</strong> or <strong>--description</strong> <em>DESCRIPTION</em></dt><dd><p>Add a description for this completion, to be shown in the completion pager.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-w</strong> or <strong>--wraps</strong> <em>WRAPPED_COMMAND</em></dt><dd><p>Causes the specified command to inherit completions from <em>WRAPPED_COMMAND</em>.
This is used for “this command completes like that other command” kinds of relationships.
See below for details.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-n</strong> or <strong>--condition</strong> <em>CONDITION</em></dt><dd><p>This completion should only be used if the <em>CONDITION</em> (a shell command) returns 0. This makes it possible to specify completions that should only be used in some cases. If multiple conditions are specified, fish will try them in the order they are specified until one fails or all succeeded.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-C</strong> or <strong>--do-complete</strong> <em>STRING</em></dt><dd><p>Makes <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> try to find all possible completions for the specified string. If there is no <em>STRING</em>, the current commandline is used instead.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>--escape</strong></dt><dd><p>When used with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-C</span></code>, escape special characters in completions.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>-h</strong> or <strong>--help</strong></dt><dd><p>Displays help about using this command.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Command-specific tab-completions in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fish</span></code> are based on the notion of options and arguments. An option is a parameter which begins with a hyphen, such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-h</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-help</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--help</span></code>. Arguments are parameters that do not begin with a hyphen. Fish recognizes three styles of options, the same styles as the GNU getopt library. These styles are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Short options, like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-a</span></code>. Short options are a single character long, are preceded by a single hyphen and can be grouped together (like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-la</span></code>, which is equivalent to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-l</span> <span class="pre">-a</span></code>). Option arguments may be specified by appending the option with the value (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-w32</span></code>), or, if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--require-parameter</span></code> is given, in the following parameter (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-w</span> <span class="pre">32</span></code>).</p></li>
<li><p>Old-style options, long like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-Wall</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-name</span></code> or even short like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-a</span></code>. Old-style options can be more than one character long, are preceded by a single hyphen and may not be grouped together. Option arguments are specified by default following a space (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-foo</span> <span class="pre">null</span></code>) or after <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">=</span></code> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-foo=null</span></code>).</p></li>
<li><p>GNU-style long options, like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--colors</span></code>. GNU-style long options can be more than one character long, are preceded by two hyphens, and can’t be grouped together. Option arguments may be specified after a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">=</span></code> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--quoting-style=shell</span></code>), or, if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--require-parameter</span></code> is given, in the following parameter (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--quoting-style</span> <span class="pre">shell</span></code>).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Multiple commands and paths can be given in one call to define the same completions for multiple commands.</p>
<p>Multiple command switches and wrapped commands can also be given to define multiple completions in one call.</p>
<p>Invoking <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> multiple times for the same command adds the new definitions on top of any existing completions defined for the command.</p>
<p>When <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-a</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--arguments</span></code> is specified in conjunction with long, short, or old-style options, the specified arguments are only completed as arguments for any of the specified options. If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-a</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--arguments</span></code> is specified without any long, short, or old-style options, the specified arguments are used when completing non-option arguments to the command (except when completing an option argument that was specified with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-r</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--require-parameter</span></code>).</p>
<p>Command substitutions found in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ARGUMENTS</span></code> should return a newline-separated list of arguments, and each argument may optionally have a tab character followed by the argument description. Description given this way override a description given with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-d</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--description</span></code>.</p>
<p>Descriptions given with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--description</span></code> are also used to group options given with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-s</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-o</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-l</span></code>. Options with the same (non-empty) description will be listed as one candidate, and one of them will be picked. If the description is empty or no description was given this is skipped.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-w</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--wraps</span></code> options causes the specified command to inherit completions from another command, “wrapping” the other command. The wrapping command can also have additional completions. A command can wrap multiple commands, and wrapping is transitive: if A wraps B, and B wraps C, then A automatically inherits all of C’s completions. Wrapping can be removed using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-e</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--erase</span></code> options. Wrapping only works for completions specified with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-c</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--command</span></code> and are ignored when specifying completions with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-p</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--path</span></code>.</p>
<p>When erasing completions, it is possible to either erase all completions for a specific command by specifying <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span> <span class="pre">-c</span> <span class="pre">COMMAND</span> <span class="pre">-e</span></code>, or by specifying a specific completion option to delete.</p>
<p>When <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> is called without anything that would define or erase completions (options, arguments, wrapping, …), it shows matching completions instead. So <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span></code> without any arguments shows all loaded completions, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span> <span class="pre">-c</span> <span class="pre">foo</span></code> shows all loaded completions for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>. Since completions are <a class="reference internal" href="../language.html#syntax-function-autoloading"><span class="std std-ref">autoloaded</span></a>, you will have to trigger them first.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">su</span></code> command takes any username as an argument. Usernames are given as the first colon-separated field in the file /etc/passwd. This can be specified as:</p>
<div class="highlight-fish-docs-samples notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">complete</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-x</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-c</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">su</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-d</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;Username&quot;</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-a</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1)&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rpm</span></code> command has several different modes. If the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-e</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--erase</span></code> flag has been specified, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rpm</span></code> should delete one or more packages, in which case several switches related to deleting packages are valid, like the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nodeps</span></code> switch.</p>
<p>This can be written as:</p>
<div class="highlight-fish-docs-samples notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">complete</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-c</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">rpm</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-n</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;__fish_contains_opt -s e erase&quot;</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-l</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">nodeps</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-d</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;Don&#39;t check dependencies&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__fish_contains_opt</span></code> is a function that checks the command line buffer for the presence of a specified set of options.</p>
<p>To implement an alias, use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-w</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--wraps</span></code> option:</p>
<div class="highlight-fish-docs-samples notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">complete</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-c</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">hub</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-w</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">git</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now hub inherits all of the completions from git. Note this can also be specified in a function declaration (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">function</span> <span class="pre">thing</span> <span class="pre">-w</span> <span class="pre">otherthing</span></code>).</p>
<div class="highlight-fish-docs-samples notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">complete</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">-c</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="no">git</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Shows all completions for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git</span></code>.</p>
<p>Any command <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code> that doesn’t support grouping multiple short options in one string (not supporting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-xf</span></code> as short for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-x</span> <span class="pre">-f</span></code>) or a short option and its value in one string (not supporting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-d9</span></code> instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-d</span> <span class="pre">9</span></code>) should be specified as a single-character old-style option instead of as a short-style option; for example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete</span> <span class="pre">-c</span> <span class="pre">foo</span> <span class="pre">-o</span> <span class="pre">s;</span> <span class="pre">complete</span> <span class="pre">-c</span> <span class="pre">foo</span> <span class="pre">-o</span> <span class="pre">v</span></code> would never suggest <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span> <span class="pre">-ov</span></code> but rather <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span> <span class="pre">-o</span> <span class="pre">-v</span></code>.</p>
