NAME

       vis-complete — Interactively complete file or word

SYNOPSIS

       vis-complete [--file | --word] [--] pattern

       vis-complete -h | --help

DESCRIPTION

       vis-complete  takes  a pattern on the command-line and completes file or word and displays them in a menu
       for the user to select one.  Once the user has selected  a  completion,  the  completion  (excluding  the
       pattern) is printed to standard output.

       vis-complete uses vis-menu(1) as its user-interface, so see that page for more details.

       --file
             This passes pattern to find to obtain a list of matching file names (this is the default).

       --word
             This reads standard input to obtain a list of lines matching pattern.

       --    An  argument following this token will be treated as pattern, even if it would otherwise be a valid
             command-line option.

             If encountered after a previous instance of -- it is treated as a pattern.

       pattern
             The pattern to be completed by file or word.

       -h | --help
             If present, vis-complete prints a usage summary and exits, ignoring any other flag and arguments.

EXIT STATUS

       The vis-complete utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

       In particular, like vis-menu(1), vis-complete prints nothing and sets its exit status to 1  if  the  user
       refused to select a file.

BUGS

       Because  vis-complete  uses  find(1)  to  obtain the list of files, weird things might happen if you have
       control-characters in your filenames.
