The OTHER_ARGS should be sequences of specifications for matching & completing sequences of words on the command line.
These sequences can be separated by '|' to represent alternative command line specifications, and you can use
bracketing to arbitrary depth to specify alternate subsequences.
The OTHER_ARGS should be sequences of specifications for matching & completing words on the command line.
These sequences can be separated by '|' to represent alternative sequences of words.
You can use bracketing to arbitrary depth to specify alternate subsequences.
For example:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
_regex_arguments SEQ1 '|' SEQ2 \( SEQ2a '|' SEQ2b \)
#+END_SRC
this specifies a command line matching either SEQ1, or SEQ2 followed by SEQ2a or SEQ2b.
A specification in a sequence can take the form: /PATTERN/ ':TAG:DESCR:ACTION'
The ':TAG:DESCR:ACTION' part is the same as for the _alternative function (see above), and specifies how to complete
the word on the command line corresponding to that position.
The PATTERN is a regular expression to match the word after it has been completed.
The start of the command line matching PATTERN is then removed before moving on to the next specification (which will
then be matched against the remaining command line).
