40 * @title: Automatic String Completion
41 * @short_description: support for automatic completion using a group
44 * #GCompletion provides support for automatic completion of a string
45 * using any group of target strings. It is typically used for file
46 * name completion as is common in many UNIX shells.
48 * A #GCompletion is created using g_completion_new(). Target items are
49 * added and removed with g_completion_add_items(),
50 * g_completion_remove_items() and g_completion_clear_items(). A
51 * completion attempt is requested with g_completion_complete() or
52 * g_completion_complete_utf8(). When no longer needed, the
53 * #GCompletion is freed with g_completion_free().
55 * Items in the completion can be simple strings (e.g. filenames), or
56 * pointers to arbitrary data structures. If data structures are used
57 * you must provide a #GCompletionFunc in g_completion_new(), which
58 * retrieves the item's string from the data structure. You can change
59 * the way in which strings are compared by setting a different
60 * #GCompletionStrncmpFunc in g_completion_set_compare().
65 * @items: list of target items (strings or data structures).
66 * @func: function which is called to get the string associated with a
67 * target item. It is %NULL if the target items are strings.
68 * @prefix: the last prefix passed to g_completion_complete() or
69 * g_completion_complete_utf8().
70 * @cache: the list of items which begin with @prefix.
71 * @strncmp_func: The function to use when comparing strings. Use
72 * g_completion_set_compare() to modify this function.
74 * The data structure used for automatic completion.
79 * @Param1: the completion item.
80 * @Returns: the string corresponding to the item.
82 * Specifies the type of the function passed to g_completion_new(). It
83 * should return the string corresponding to the given target item.
84 * This is used when you use data structures as #GCompletion items.
88 * GCompletionStrncmpFunc:
89 * @s1: string to compare with @s2.
90 * @s2: string to compare with @s1.
91 * @n: maximal number of bytes to compare.
92 * @Returns: an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
93 * the first @n bytes of @s1 is found, respectively, to be
94 * less than, to match, or to be greater than the first @n
97 * Specifies the type of the function passed to
98 * g_completion_set_compare(). This is used when you use strings as
102 static void completion_check_cache (GCompletion* cmp,
107 * @func: the function to be called to return the string representing
108 * an item in the #GCompletion, or %NULL if strings are going to
109 * be used as the #GCompletion items.
110 * @Returns: the new #GCompletion.
112 * Creates a new #GCompletion.
