[Bash-completion-devel] I don't think this is a bug, that is why I am sending you a mail

[Tommy Bollman]

Hello!

I don't think this is a bug, that is why I am sending you a mail, because
it is too much for your bugreports, and I think it is more of  a "me"
problem, and a software problem. And I have worked so HARD to make this
work, so I hope you take your time to look through the data I send with
you, because I guess you can easily pinpoint it. And I NEED this! I am
supposed to have a whole lot of stuff going on, where this will help me.


There is one thing with this I ought to tell you right away, and that is,
that I am having bash installed as login shell, correctly, but Snow Leopard
didn't ship with

My problem right now is this that it doesn't work at all; when I hit "ls"
for instance I get this as a result:
------------------------------------------------------------------
-bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
878$
878$
878$ bash --version
-bash: /opt/local/bin/bash: Argument list too long
------------------------------------------------------------------

 I am using bash_complete Release 1.99 (downloaded 2 days ago)

I am using Mac Os X Snow Leopard Latest Patch 10.6.8

I am using " GNU bash, version 4.2.29(2)-release (i386-apple-darwin10.8.0)"

I use Terminal.app for Mac Os X Version 2.1.2 (273.1)  I have specified My
terminal type to xterm-color. LC_ALL, and that are sent to the shell from
the Terminal.app.

I'm sending both my .inputrc and my .bashrc, and I really hope you can and
will help me!

Thanks in advance!

My .bashrc looks like this, with your software in it, but then the
keyboard, is almost hanging, the commandline interpreter not working.

The other bash_complete you se there is version 1.3 for Bash 3.1x, which
don't work well.

# *************** SET - OPTIONS **************************

set -a
# Automatically mark variables  and  functions  which  are
# modified  or  created  for  export to the environment of
# subsequent commands. (shopt allexport)

set -b
# Report the status of terminated background jobs  immedi-
# ately, rather than before the next primary prompt.  This
# is effective only when job control is enabled.

# set -e
# Exit immediately if a simple command (see SHELL  GRAMMAR
# above) exits with a non-zero status.  The shell does not
# exit if the command that fails is part  of  the  command
# list  immediately  following  a  while or until keyword,
# part of the test in an if statement, part of a && or  ||
# list, or if the command's return value is being inverted
# via !.  A trap on ERR, if set, is  executed  before  the
# shell exits.

# set -f
# Disable pathname expansion.

set -h
# Remember  the location of commands as they are looked up
# for execution.  This is enabled by default.

# set -k #
# All arguments in the form of assignment  statements  are
# placed  in the environment for a command, not just those
# that precede the command name. (!! declare -x stmnts !!)

set -m    #  AV
# Monitor mode.  Job control is enabled.  This  option  is
# on  by  default  for  interactive shells on systems that
# support it (see JOB  CONTROL  above).   Background  pro-
# cesses  run  in a separate process group and a line con-
# taining their exit status is printed upon their  comple-
# tion.

# set -n
# Read commands but do not execute them.  This may be used
# to check a shell script  for  syntax  errors.   This  is
# ignored by interactive shells.

# Same as -p. (Below)

# set -o verbose
# Same as -v. (Below)

# set -o vi
# Use a vi-style command line editing interface.

# set -o xtrace
# Same as -x. (Below)

# *************** SET - OPTIONS **************************

# set -p
# Turn on privileged mode. In this mode, the $ENV and
# $BASH_ENV files are not processed, shell functions are
# not inherited from the environment, and the SHELLOPTS
# variable, if it appears in the environment, is ignored.
# If the shell is started with the effective user (group)
# id not equal to the real user (group) id, and the -p
# option is not supplied, these actions are taken and the
# effective user id is set to the real user id. If the -p
# option is supplied at startup, the effective user id is
# not reset. Turning this option off causes the effective
# user and group ids to be set to the real user and group
# ids.

# set -t
# Exit after reading and executing one command.

# set -u
# Treat unset variables as an error when performing param-
# eter expansion. If expansion is attempted on an unset
# variable, the shell prints an error message, and, if not

# set -v
# Print shell input lines as they are read.

# set -x
# After expanding each simple command, for command, case
# command, select command, or arithmetic for command, dis-
# play the expanded value of PS4, followed by the command
# and its expanded arguments or associated word list.

set -B
# The shell performs brace expansion (see Brace Expansion
# above). This is on by default.

set -C
# If set, bash does not overwrite an existing file with
# the >, >&, and <> redirection operators. This may be
# overridden when creating output files by using the redi-
# rection operator >| instead of >.

# set -E
# If set, any trap on ERR is inherited by shell functions,
# command substitutions, and commands executed in a sub-
# shell environment. The ERR trap is normally not inher-
# ited in such cases.

set -H
# Enable ! style history substitution. This option is on
# by default when the shell is interactive.

# set -P
# If set, the shell does not follow symbolic links when
# executing commands such as cd that change the current
# working directory. It uses the physical directory
# structure instead. By default, bash follows the logical
# chain of directories when performing commands which
# change the current directory.

# set -T
# If set, any traps on DEBUG and RETURN are inherited by
# shell functions, command substitutions, and commands
# executed in a subshell environment. The DEBUG and
# RETURN traps are normally not inherited in such cases.

# set --
# If no arguments follow this option, then the positional
# parameters are unset. Otherwise, the positional parame-
# ters are set to the args, even if some of them begin
# with a -.

# set -
# Signal the end of options, cause all remaining args to
# be assigned to the positional parameters. The -x and -v
# options are turned off. If there are no args, the posi-
# tional parameters remain unchanged.

# The options are off by default unless otherwise noted. Using +
# rather than - causes these options to be turned off. The
# options can also be specified as arguments to an invocation of
# the shell. The current set of options may be found in $-. The
# return status is always true unless an invalid option is encoun-
# tered.

# ************* SHOPTIONS ***************************

shopt -s cdable_vars
# If set, an argument to the cd builtin  command  that  is
# not  a directory is assumed to be the name of a variable
# whose value is the directory to change to.

shopt -s cdspell
# If set, minor errors in the spelling of a directory com-
# ponent  in  a  cd command will be corrected.  The errors
# checked for are transposed characters, a missing charac-
# ter,  and  one  character  too many.  If a correction is
# found, the corrected file name is printed, and the  com-
# mand  proceeds.  This option is only used by interactive
# shells.

shopt -s checkhash
# If set, bash checks that a command found in the hash ta-
# ble  exists  before  trying  to execute it.  If a hashed
# command no longer exists, a normal path search  is  per-
# formed.

shopt -s checkwinsize
# If  set,  bash checks the window size after each command
# and, if necessary, updates the values of LINES and  COL-
# UMNS.

shopt -s cmdhist
# If  set,  bash attempts to save all lines of a multiple-
# line command in the same  history  entry.   This  allows
# easy re-editing of multi-line commands.

# shopt -s compat31 11
# If set, bash changes its behavior to that of version 3.1
# with respect to quoted arguments to the conditional com-
# mand's =~ operator.

# !!! NY SETTING!!!
shopt -s dotglob
# If  set, bash includes filenames beginning with a `.' in
# the results of pathname expansion.
# Det er noe mellom dene og noclobber i bash - fila.
# !!! NY SETTING!!!

shopt -u execfail
# If set, a non-interactive shell will not exit if it can-
# not  execute  the  file  specified as an argument to the
# exec builtin command.  An  interactive  shell  does  not
# exit if exec fails.

shopt -s expand_aliases
# If  set,  aliases  are expanded as described above under
# ALIASES.  This option is enabled by default for interac-
# tive shells.

# shopt -s  extdebug
#  If set, behavior intended for use by debuggers is
#  enabled:
#
#  1. The -F option to the declare builtin displays the
#     source file name and line number corresponding to
#     each function name supplied as an argument.
#
#  2. If the command run by the DEBUG trap returns a
#     non-zero value, the next command is skipped and
#     not executed.
#
#  3. If the command run by the DEBUG trap returns a
#     value of 2, and the shell is executing in a sub-
#     routine (a shell function or a shell script exe-
#     cuted by the . or source builtins), a call to
#     return is simulated.
#
#  4. BASH_ARGC and BASH_ARGV are updated as described
#     in their descriptions above.
#
#  5. Function tracing is enabled: command substitu-
#     tion, shell functions, and subshells invoked with
#     ( command ) inherit the DEBUG and RETURN traps.
#
#  6. Error tracing is enabled: command substitution,
#     shell functions, and subshells invoked with (
#     command ) inherit the ERROR trap.

shopt -s extglob
# If set, the extended pattern matching features described
# above under Pathname Expansion are enabled.

# # ?(pattern-list)
# Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns
# *(pattern-list)
# Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns
# +(pattern-list)
# Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns
# @(pattern-list)
# Matches exactly one of the given patterns
# !(pattern-list)
# Matches anything except one of the given patterns

# Here's an example. Say, you wanted to install all RPMs in a given
directory, #
# except those built for the noarch architecture. You might use something
like # # this:
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/RPMS/!(*noarch*)

# These expressions can be nested, too, so if you wanted a directory
listing of
# all non PDF and PostScript files in the current directory, you might do
this:
# ls -lad !(*.p@(df|s))



shopt -s extquote
# If set, $'string' and  $"string"  quoting  is  performed
# within   ${parameter}   expansions  enclosed  in  double
# quotes.  This option is enabled by default.

# !!! NY SETTING!!!
# shopt -s failglob 44
# If set, patterns which fail to  match  filenames  during
# pathname expansion result in an expansion error.
# !!! NY SETTING!!!

shopt -s force_fignore
# If  set,  the  suffixes  specified  by the FIGNORE shell
# variable cause words to be ignored when performing  word
# completion even if the ignored words are the only possi-
# ble  completions.   See  SHELL  VARIABLES  above  for  a
# description  of  FIGNORE.   This  option  is  enabled by
# default.

shopt -s gnu_errfmt
# If set, shell error messages are written in the standard
# GNU error message format.

shopt -s histappend
# If  set,  the history list is appended to the file named
# by the value of the HISTFILE  variable  when  the  shell
# exits, rather than overwriting the file.

shopt -s histreedit
# If  set, and readline is being used, a user is given the
# opportunity to re-edit a failed history substitution.

shopt -s histverify
# If set, and readline is being used, the results of  his-
# tory  substitution  are  not  immediately  passed to the
# shell parser.  Instead, the  resulting  line  is  loaded
# into the readline editing buffer, allowing further modi-
# fication.

shopt -s  hostcomplete
# If set, and readline is being used, bash will attempt to
# perform  hostname  completion when a word containing a @
# is  being  completed  (see  Completing  under   READLINE
# above).  This is enabled by default.

shopt -s huponexit
# If set, bash will send SIGHUP to all jobs when an inter-
# active login shell exits.

shopt -s interactive_comments
# If set, allow a word beginning with # to cause that word
# and  all remaining characters on that line to be ignored
# in an interactive  shell  (see  COMMENTS  above).   This
# option is enabled by default.

shopt -u lithist
# If  set,  and  the cmdhist option is enabled, multi-line
# commands are saved to the history with embedded newlines
# rather than using semicolon separators where possible.

# login_shell
# The  shell  sets this option if it is started as a login
# shell (see INVOCATION above).   The  value  may  not  be
# changed.

shopt -u  mailwarn
# If  set,  and  a file that bash is checking for mail has
# been accessed since the last time it  was  checked,  the
# message  ``The  mail in mailfile has been read'' is dis-
# played.

# !!! NY SETTING!!!
 shopt -u no_empty_cmd_completion
# If set, and  readline  is  being  used,  bash  will  not
# attempt to search the PATH for possible completions when
# completion is attempted on an empty line.
# !!! NY SETTING!!!

shopt -u nocaseglob
# If set, bash matches  filenames  in  a  case-insensitive
# fashion when performing pathname expansion (see Pathname
# Expansion above).

shopt -u nocasematch
# If set, bash  matches  patterns  in  a  case-insensitive
# fashion when performing matching while executing case or
# [[ conditional commands.

shopt -s nullglob # 33
# If set, bash allows patterns which match no  files  (see
# Pathname  Expansion  above)  to expand to a null string,
# rather than themselves.


shopt -s progcomp
# If set, the programmable completion facilities (see Pro-
# grammable Completion above) are enabled.  This option is
# enabled by default.

shopt -s promptvars
# If set, prompt strings undergo parameter expansion, com-
# mand   substitution,  arithmetic  expansion,  and  quote
# removal after being expanded as described  in  PROMPTING
# above.  This option is enabled by default.

# restricted_shell
# The   shell  sets  this  option  if  it  is  started  in
# restricted mode (see RESTRICTED SHELL below).  The value
# may  not be changed.  This is not reset when the startup
# files are executed, allowing the startup files  to  dis-
# cover whether or not a shell is restricted.

shopt -s shift_verbose
# If  set,  the shift builtin prints an error message when
# the shift count exceeds the number of positional parame-
# ters.

shopt -s  sourcepath
# If set, the source (.) builtin uses the value of PATH to
# find the directory containing the file  supplied  as  an
# argument.  This option is enabled by default.

shopt -s xpg_echo
# If   set,  the  echo  builtin  expands  backslash-escape
# sequences by default.
