The default implementation will not print any output in that case, but this provides users with additional flexibility when it comes to customising the shell's behaviour.
This allows users to customise the behaviour of the shell by redefining the function. This is similar to how fish_title or fish_greeting behave, where the default implementation can be easily overridden.
The function receives as arguments the job id, command line, signal name and signal description.
Since 4414d5c888 (in fish 3.0.0) we
don't autoload completions if the command doesn't exist.
So there is no need to check inside the scripts anymore.
Whats more, a few (like pip and cabal) checked `command -q` instead of
`type -q`, meaning they'd fail if someone used a function instead of a
command of that name.
If the *command* actually needs to exist, checks like that are still
warranted, like in `npm` where aliasing it to `nvm` is popular.
A teensy additional bit: Make `sysctl -w` the same as `sysctl
--write`. That description was bogus.
At the moment calling __fish_prepend_sudo multiple times does not toggle
sudo, and also unnecessarily uses the `-c` flag to `commandline` to see if
the first token on the commandline is "sudo".
This change removes the `-c` switch and also toggles "sudo" on multiple
calls to __fish_prepend_sudo, while maintaining the cursor position and
while maintaining any spaces between "sudo" and the next token on the
commandline.
The local-exported variable will have disappeared by the time the
function is called.
"-V"/"--inherit-variable" is meant for something like this.
Fixes#7011
This allows tools like `stty` to set the terminal modes and fish will
honor them, for external commands.
The modes for fish are kept as they are.
Until now, the only change fish would do to the external modes is to
disable flow control *every time*, this changes it to only disabling
it on startup.
After that we don't apply *any* changes to the external modes (no
checks or validation or...), because we've never done that (other than
flow control), and it's not been a problem.
Fixes#2315.
The completions for help know many more help topics, it makes no sense
to whitelist them here.
Fix anchor links for tutorial sections.
Remove some dead code: the "man" branch was unreachable because of the
earlier (__fish_print_commands) case.
Add missing options:
--path causes the specified variable to be treated as a path variable, meaning it will automatically be split on colons, and joined using colons when quoted (echo "$PATH") or exported.
--unpath causes the specified variable to not be treated as a path variable. Variables with a name ending in "PATH" are automatically path variables, so this can be used to treat such a variable normally.
[ci skip]
This removes the before_install step because it's currently failing.
The error message says pcre2 is already installed anyway, so we can
skip the entire thing and remove brew from the equation.
* Fix issue if md5sum is used instead of md5
Both have a different output which results in different array sized

* Fix manpath handling in create_manpage_completions.py
...as well as do some (very!) light cleanup.
Currently, `create_manpage_completions.py` does not properly
understand/respect the `$MANPATH` variable. One important feature of
`$MANPATH` is that an empty component (i.e. the trailing : in
`foo:bar:`) expands to the 'default' or 'system' path -- that is to say,
the path that would be used if `$MANPATH` was unset. This allows the
user to extend the manpath without clobbering it, and has been a feature
many Unices have included for years.
The current implementation blindly uses the `$MANPATH` variable if it
exists, which does not allow for this behaviour -- to expand the
variable correctly, an external program must be invoked. Therefore, we
first shell out to the 'proper' (read: best guess) external program. If
that fails, we can then try to use `$MANPATH` directly/literally.
Finally, if both of those are impossible, we can fall back to some
common paths from widely used operating systems.
Note that the `man.conf` parsing has been removed: this is because while
many 'traditional' Unices (BSDs, Solaris, macOS) support this file, only
macOS actually ships a file -- most other Unices use a `conf.d`-style
layout and supporting that from our Python is impractical and silly at
best. On GNU (read: Linux) systems, `mandb` uses `/etc/man_db.conf` with
slightly different syntax and sematics. As this code-path has bitrotted
(and likely never worked, anyway), just remove it.
`create_manpage_completions.py` looks like it has suffered a lot of
confusion and bitrot in general over the last few years -- and is
overdue for a major refactoring. I am quite interested in tackling this,
but I plan to wait until the go-ahead to drop support for Python 2 is
given, as a major refactor/rewrite that still supports Python 2 (and
thus ignores the ergonomic/API/syntax improvements of Python 3) does not
make sense to me.
Related: #5657
It would probably be good to revisit `man.fish` once again when a
comprehensive refactor happens: hopefully every permutation of
`man`/`$MANPATH` could be documented as part of that effort.
* Restore /etc/man.conf parsing
I was not aware that this codepath was used -- since it appeared that it
would throw an error when it was reached. Redo it, using regex, and
support parsing NetBSD man.conf as well (untested).
* Fix create_manpage_completions.py under Python 2
