Autocompletion
**************
Restic can write out a bash compatible autocompletion script:
Restic can write out man pages and bash/zsh compatible autocompletion scripts:
.. code-block:: console
$ ./restic autocomplete --help
The "autocomplete" command generates a shell autocompletion script.
$ ./restic generate --help
NOTE: The current version supports Bash only.
This should work for *nix systems with Bash installed.
By default, the file is written directly to ``/etc/bash_completion.d/``
for convenience, and the command may need superuser rights, e.g.
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo restic autocomplete
The "generate" command writes automatically generated files like the man pages
and the auto-completion files for bash and zsh).
Usage:
restic autocomplete [flags]
restic generate [command] [flags]
Flags:
--completionfile string autocompletion file (default "/etc/bash_completion.d/restic.sh")
--bash-completion file write bash completion file
-h, --help help for generate
--man directory write man pages to directory
--zsh-completion file write zsh completion file
Global Flags:
--json set output mode to JSON for commands that support it
--no-lock do not lock the repo, this allows some operations on read-only repos
-o, --option key=value set extended option (key=value, can be specified multiple times)
-p, --password-file string read the repository password from a file
-q, --quiet do not output comprehensive progress report
-r, --repo string repository to backup to or restore from (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY)
Example for using sudo to write a bash completion script directly to the system-wide location:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo ./restic generate --bash-completion /etc/bash_completion.d/restic
writing bash completion file to /etc/bash_completion.d/restic
