NAME
Complete::Zsh::Gen::FromGetoptLong - Generate zsh completion script from
Getopt::Long spec/script
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of
Complete::Zsh::Gen::FromGetoptLong (from Perl distribution
Complete-Zsh-Gen-FromGetoptLong), released on 2022-08-11.
SYNOPSIS
FUNCTIONS
gen_zsh_complete_from_getopt_long_script
Usage:
gen_zsh_complete_from_getopt_long_script(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Generate zsh completion script from Getopt::Long script.
This routine generate zsh "compadd" command for each short/long option,
enabling zsh to display the options in a different color and showing
description (if specified) for each option.
Getopt::Long::Complete scripts are also supported.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* cmdname => *str*
Command name to be completed, defaults to filename.
* compname => *str*
Completer name.
* filename* => *filename*
* skip_detect => *bool*
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: A script that can be put in $fpath/_$cmdname (str)
gen_zsh_complete_from_getopt_long_spec
Usage:
gen_zsh_complete_from_getopt_long_spec(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
From Getopt::Long spec, generate completion script for the zsh shell.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* cmdname* => *str*
Command name to be completed.
* compname => *str*
Completer name, if there is a completer for option values.
* opt_desc => *hash*
Description for each option.
This is optional and allows adding description for the complete
command. Each key of the hash should correspond to the option name
without the dashes, e.g. "s", "long".
* spec* => *hash*
Getopt::Long options specification.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
