This patch adds bash command-line completion script for ovs-appctl,
ovs-dpctl, ovs-ofctl and ovsdb-tool command. Right now, the script
can do the following:
- display available completion or complete on unfinished user input
(long option, subcommand, and argument).
- once the subcommand (e.g. ofproto/trace) has been given, the
script will print the subcommand format.
- the script can convert between keywords like 'bridge/port/interface/dp'
and the available record in ovsdb.
The limitations are:
- only support small set of important keywords
(dp, datapath, bridge, switch, port, interface, iface).
- does not support parsing of nested options
(e.g. ovsdb-tool create [db [schema]]).
- does not support expansion on repeatitive argument
(e.g. ovs-dpctl show [dp...]).
- only support matching on long options, and only in the format
(--option [arg], i.e. should not use --option=[arg]).
To use the script, either copy it inside /etc/bash_completion.d/
or manually run it via . ovs-command-compgen.bash.
Also, a unit testsuite is provided as ovs-command-compgen-test.bash.
It is suggested that this test script be run only inside
tutorial/sandbox directory.
For more info please refer to utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md.
