[Feature request] Bash-completion for runit sv

sv on Artix has no completion script. While you can always run ls /run/runit/service and use the single-letter shortcuts (or even RSM), having a completion script would be a nice addition to the official runit/bash-completion package.

So far, I'm using Void's completion script (installed as an extra package, ran through with sed -i s@/var/@/run/runit/@g to be compatible with Artix):

hey, thanks, exactly what i was looking for !
This page came up in first on startpage :D

the aur package does not exist anymore, but writing it to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sv does the trick
and to be perfect, change the path /var/service/ to /run/runit/service/ to be able to autocomplete the name of the service
here is the final version to use:

Code: [Select]
# bash completion for runit sv(1)

_sv()
{
    local cur prev words cword commands
    _init_completion || return

    commands='up down status once pause cont hup alarm interrupt 1 2 term kill exit start stop restart shutdown force-stop force-reload force-restart force-shutdown'

    case $prev in
        -w)
            return
            ;;
        -* | sv)
            COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${commands}" -- ${cur}) )
            return
            ;;
        *)
            COMPREPLY=( /run/runit/service/* )
            COMPREPLY=( ${COMPREPLY[@]##*/} )
            COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W '${COMPREPLY[@]}' -- ${cur}) )
            return
            ;;
    esac
}
complete -F _sv sv


having the autocompletion is always nice :), so, shouldn't it be included in the runit installation ?
