This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a special anchor we manually include. So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string. I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried `/cmds/string`. So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain `string` from other commands.

commandline [OPTIONS] [CMD]
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
``commandline`` can be used to set or get the current contents of the command line buffer.
|
|
|
|
With no parameters, ``commandline`` returns the current value of the command line.
|
|
|
|
With **CMD** specified, the command line buffer is erased and replaced with the contents of **CMD**.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
**-C** or **--cursor**
|
|
Set or get the current cursor position, not the contents of the buffer.
|
|
If no argument is given, the current cursor position is printed, otherwise the argument is interpreted as the new cursor position.
|
|
If one of the options **-j**, **-p** or **-t** is given, the position is relative to the respective substring instead of the entire command line buffer.
|
|
|
|
**-f** or **--function**
|
|
Causes any additional arguments to be interpreted as input functions, and puts them into the queue, so that they will be read before any additional actual key presses are.
|
|
This option cannot be combined with any other option.
|
|
See :doc:`bind <bind>` for a list of input functions.
|
|
|
|
**-h** or **--help**
|
|
Displays help about using this command.
|
|
|
|
The following options change the way ``commandline`` updates the command line buffer:
|
|
|
|
**-a** or **--append**
|
|
Do not remove the current commandline, append the specified string at the end of it.
|
|
|
|
**-i** or **--insert**
|
|
Do not remove the current commandline, insert the specified string at the current cursor position
|
|
|
|
**-r** or **--replace**
|
|
Remove the current commandline and replace it with the specified string (default)
|
|
|
|
The following options change what part of the commandline is printed or updated:
|
|
|
|
**-b** or **--current-buffer**
|
|
Select the entire commandline, not including any displayed autosuggestion (default).
|
|
|
|
**-j** or **--current-job**
|
|
Select the current job - a **job** here is one pipeline.
|
|
Stops at logical operators or terminators (**;**, **&**, and newlines).
|
|
|
|
**-p** or **--current-process**
|
|
Select the current process - a **process** here is one command.
|
|
Stops at logical operators, terminators, and pipes.
|
|
|
|
**-s** or **--current-selection**
|
|
Selects the current selection
|
|
|
|
**-t** or **--current-token**
|
|
Selects the current token
|
|
|
|
The following options change the way ``commandline`` prints the current commandline buffer:
|
|
|
|
**-c** or **--cut-at-cursor**
|
|
Only print selection up until the current cursor position.
|
|
|
|
**-o** or **--tokenize**
|
|
Tokenize the selection and print one string-type token per line.
|
|
|
|
If ``commandline`` is called during a call to complete a given string using ``complete -C STRING``, ``commandline`` will consider the specified string to be the current contents of the command line.
|
|
|
|
The following options output metadata about the commandline state:
|
|
|
|
**-L** or **--line**
|
|
Print the line that the cursor is on, with the topmost line starting at 1.
|
|
|
|
**-S** or **--search-mode**
|
|
Evaluates to true if the commandline is performing a history search.
|
|
|
|
**-P** or **--paging-mode**
|
|
Evaluates to true if the commandline is showing pager contents, such as tab completions.
|
|
|
|
**--paging-full-mode**
|
|
Evaluates to true if the commandline is showing pager contents, such as tab completions and all lines are shown (no "<n> more rows" message).
|
|
|
|
**--is-valid**
|
|
Returns true when the commandline is syntactically valid and complete.
|
|
If it is, it would be executed when the ``execute`` bind function is called.
|
|
If the commandline is incomplete, return 2, if erroneus, return 1.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
``commandline -j $history[3]`` replaces the job under the cursor with the third item from the command line history.
|
|
|
|
If the commandline contains
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
>_ echo $flounder >&2 | less; and echo $catfish
|
|
|
|
|
|
(with the cursor on the "o" of "flounder")
|
|
|
|
The ``echo $flounder >&`` is the first process, ``less`` the second and ``and echo $catfish`` the third.
|
|
|
|
``echo $flounder >&2 | less`` is the first job, ``and echo $catfish`` the second.
|
|
|
|
**$flounder** is the current token.
|
|
|
|
More examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
>_ commandline -t
|
|
$flounder
|
|
>_ commandline -ct
|
|
$fl
|
|
>_ commandline -b # or just commandline
|
|
echo $flounder >&2 | less; and echo $catfish
|
|
>_ commandline -p
|
|
echo $flounder >&2
|
|
>_ commandline -j
|
|
echo $flounder >&2 | less
