@node Overview
@chapter Overview

@command{auto-auto-complete} provides a LISP-like
@footnote{A sane alternative to using XML.} declarative
language for creating auto-completion scripts for commands
in a shell-agnostic way. The current version of
@command{auto-auto-complete} can use such files to generate
auto-completion scripts for the @command{bash}, @command{zsh}
and @command{fish} shells.

@command{auto-auto-complete}'s language limited in comparsion
to for example raw auto-completion scripts for the @command{bash}
shell, however it is well enough for most projects.



@node Invoking
@chapter Invoking

@command{auto-auto-complete} recognises two options:

@table @option
@item -o
@itemx --output OUTPUT_FILE
Specifies the pathname of the generated file.

@item -s
@itemx -f
@itemx --file
@itemx --source SOURCE_FILE
Specifies the pathname of the auto-auto-complete script.
@end table

Both of these options must be used. Additionally
the shell that the generate file should be generated
for must be specified; this is done by adding name
of the shell as a stand-along argument, for example
@command{auto-auto-complete bash --output mycmd.bash --source mycmd.autocomplete}

It is also possible to define variables that can be
used the auto-auto-complete script. If you, for example,
want to give the variable @var{command} the value
@code{mycmd}, add the argument @option{command=mycmd}.
It is also possible to define arrays, for example
if you want the variable @var{srcopt} to be an array
of the for values @code{-s}, @code{-f}, @code{--source}
and @code{--file}, add the arguments @option{srcopt=-s},
@option{srcopt=-f}, @option{srcopt=--source} and
@option{srcopt=--file}. It is not possible to have
variable whose name begin with a dash (`-').
