This is a tool to allow the iRODS client icommands to have auto-complete functionality within Bash.
The installation consists of two parts; building the command-line tool and configuring the bash auto-completion script.
The tool is built with the given makefile. You will need to have the iRODS header files and runtime libraries to build it.
By default, these will be in `/usr/include/irods/and ``/usr/lib/`, however, if you have installed iRODS to a non-standard
location, simply adjust theIRODS_HOME`` variable in the makefile to the appropriate value.
You can then build the tool by running
all
which will create the tool at `build/irods_bash_completer`. You can copy this executable to wherever you want to run it from.
The Bash auto-completion script is at `bash/icommands.d. You will need to edit the ``opts` line in this file to match the
location of where you copied the executableirods_bash_completer`` to. For example if you installed it in `/usr/bin`, then
you would need to change the line from
s=`/home/billy/Projects/irods_bash_completer/build/irods_bash_completer ${cur}`
to
s=`/usr/bin/irods_bash_completer ${cur}`
At the bottom of the file it contains the auto-completion configurations for a number of the iRODS icommands. If you wish to add more entries then just add them in the format of:
lete -F _irods_completer <icommand to add>
Once you have and this needs to be copied into the directory into `/etc/bash_completion.d/`.
