44 * @title: Automatic String Completion
45 * @short_description: support for automatic completion using a group
48 * #GCompletion provides support for automatic completion of a string
49 * using any group of target strings. It is typically used for file
50 * name completion as is common in many UNIX shells.
52 * A #GCompletion is created using g_completion_new(). Target items are
53 * added and removed with g_completion_add_items(),
54 * g_completion_remove_items() and g_completion_clear_items(). A
55 * completion attempt is requested with g_completion_complete() or
56 * g_completion_complete_utf8(). When no longer needed, the
57 * #GCompletion is freed with g_completion_free().
59 * Items in the completion can be simple strings (e.g. filenames), or
60 * pointers to arbitrary data structures. If data structures are used
61 * you must provide a #GCompletionFunc in g_completion_new(), which
62 * retrieves the item's string from the data structure. You can change
63 * the way in which strings are compared by setting a different
64 * #GCompletionStrncmpFunc in g_completion_set_compare().
66 * GCompletion has been marked as deprecated, since this API is rarely
67 * used and not very actively maintained.
72 * @items: list of target items (strings or data structures).
73 * @func: function which is called to get the string associated with a
74 * target item. It is %NULL if the target items are strings.
75 * @prefix: the last prefix passed to g_completion_complete() or
76 * g_completion_complete_utf8().
77 * @cache: the list of items which begin with @prefix.
78 * @strncmp_func: The function to use when comparing strings. Use
79 * g_completion_set_compare() to modify this function.
81 * The data structure used for automatic completion.
86 * @Param1: the completion item.
88 * Specifies the type of the function passed to g_completion_new(). It
89 * should return the string corresponding to the given target item.
90 * This is used when you use data structures as #GCompletion items.
92 * Returns: the string corresponding to the item.
96 * GCompletionStrncmpFunc:
97 * @s1: string to compare with @s2.
98 * @s2: string to compare with @s1.
99 * @n: maximal number of bytes to compare.
101 * Specifies the type of the function passed to
102 * g_completion_set_compare(). This is used when you use strings as
103 * #GCompletion items.
105 * Returns: an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
106 * the first @n bytes of @s1 is found, respectively, to be
107 * less than, to match, or to be greater than the first @n
111 static void completion_check_cache (GCompletion

,
116 * @func: the function to be called to return the string representing
117 * an item in the #GCompletion, or %NULL if strings are going to

122 * Returns: the new #GCompletion.
