=head1 NAME
Term::ShellUI - A fully-featured shell-like command line environment
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Term::ShellUI;
my $term = new Term::ShellUI(
commands => {
"cd" => {
desc => "Change to directory DIR",
maxargs => 1, args => sub { shift->complete_onlydirs(@_); },
proc => sub { chdir($_[0] || $ENV{HOME} || $ENV{LOGDIR}); },
},
"chdir" => { alias => 'cd' },
"pwd" => {
desc => "Print the current working directory",
maxargs => 0, proc => sub { system('pwd'); },
},
"quit" => {
desc => "Quit this program", maxargs => 0,
method => sub { shift->exit_requested(1); },
}},
history_file => '~/.shellui-synopsis-history',
);
print 'Using '.$term->{term}->ReadLine."\n";
$term->run();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Term::ShellUI uses the history and autocompletion features of L<Term::ReadLine>
to present a sophisticated command-line interface to the user. It tries to
make every feature that one would expect to see in a fully interactive shell
trivial to implement.
You simply declare your command set and let ShellUI take
care of the heavy lifting.
This module was previously called L<Term::GDBUI>.
=head1 COMMAND SET
A command set is the data structure that
describes your application's entire user interface.
It's easiest to illustrate with a working example.
We shall implement the following 6 L</COMMAND>s:
=over 4
=item help
Prints the help for the given command.
With no arguments, prints a list and short summary of all available commands.
=item h
This is just a synonym for "help". We don't want to list it in the
possible completions.
Of course, pressing "h<tab><return>" will autocomplete to "help" and
then execute the help command. Including this command allows you to
simply type "h<return>".
The 'alias' directive used to be called 'syn' (for synonym).
Either term works.
=item exists
This command shows how to use the
L</complete_files>
routines to complete on file names,
and how to provide more comprehensive help.
=item show
Demonstrates subcommands (like GDB's show command).
This makes it easy to implement commands like "show warranty"
and "show args".
=item show args
This shows more advanced argument processing.
First, it uses cusom argument completion: a static completion for the
first argument (either "create" or "delete") and the standard
file completion for the second. When executed, it echoes its own command
name followed by its arguments.
=item quit
How to nicely quit.
Term::ShellUI also follows Term::ReadLine's default of quitting
when Control-D is pressed.
=back
This code is fairly comprehensive because it attempts to
demonstrate most of Term::ShellUI's many features. You can find a working
version of this exact code titled "synopsis" in the examples directory.
For a more real-world example, see the fileman-example in the same
directory.

};
}
=head1 COMMAND
This data structure describes a single command implemented
by your application.
"help", "exit", etc.
All fields are optional.
Commands are passed to Term::ShellUI using a L</COMMAND SET>.
=over 4
=item desc
A short, one-line description for the command. Normally this is
a simple string, but it may also be a subroutine that
will be called every time the description is printed.
The subroutine takes two arguments, $self (the Term::ShellUI object),
and $cmd (the command hash for the command), and returns the
command's description as a string.
=item doc
A comprehensive, many-line description for the command.
Like desc, this is normally a string but
if you store a reference to a subroutine in this field,
it will be called to calculate the documentation.
Your subroutine should accept three arguments: self (the Term::ShellUI object),
cmd (the command hash for the command), and the command's name.
It should return a string containing the command's documentation.
See examples/xmlexer to see how to read the doc
for a command out of the pod.
=item minargs
=item maxargs
These set the minimum and maximum number of arguments that this
command will accept.
=item proc
This contains a reference to the subroutine that should be executed
when this command is called. Arguments are those passed on the
command line and the return value is the value returned by
call_cmd and process_a_cmd (i.e. it is ignored unless your
application makes use of it).
If this field is a string instead of a subroutine ref, the string
is printed when the command is executed (good for things like
"Not implemented yet").
Examples of both subroutine and string procs can be seen in the example
above.
=item method
Similar to proc, but passes more arguments. Where proc simply passes
the arguments for the command, method also passes the Term::ShellUI object
and the command's parms object (see L</call_cmd>
for more on parms). Most commands can be implemented entirely using
a simple proc procedure, but sometimes they require addtional information
supplied to the method. Like proc, method may also be a string.
=item args
This tells how to complete the command's arguments. It is usually
a subroutine. See L</complete_files> for an reasonably simple
example, and the L</complete> routine for a description of the
arguments and cmpl data structure.
Args can also be an arrayref. Each position in the array will be
used as the corresponding argument.
See "show args" in get_commands above for an example.
The last argument is repeated indefinitely (see L</maxargs>
for how to limit this).
Finally, args can also be a string. The string is intended to
be a reminder and is printed whenever the user types tab twice
(i.e. "a number between 0 and 65536").
It does not affect completion at all.
=item cmds
Command sets can be recursive. This allows a command to have
subcommands (like GDB's info and show commands, and the
show command in the example above).
A command that has subcommands should only have two fields:
cmds (of course), and desc (briefly describe this collection of subcommands).
It may also implement doc, but ShellUI's default behavior of printing
a summary of the command's subcommands is usually sufficient.
Any other fields (args, method, maxargs, etc) will be taken from
the subcommand.
=item exclude_from_completion
If this field exists, then the command will be excluded from command-line
completion. This is useful for one-letter abbreviations, such as
"h"->"help": including "h" in the completions just clutters up
the screen.
=item exclude_from_history
If this field exists, the command will never be stored in history.
This is useful for commands like help and quit.
=back
=head2 Default Command
If your command set includes a command named '' (the empty
string), this pseudo-command will be called any time the actual
command cannot be found. Here's an example:
'' => {
proc => "HA ha. No command here by that name\n",
desc => "HA ha. No help for unknown commands.",
doc => "Yet more taunting...\n",
},
Note that minargs and maxargs for the default command are ignored.
method and proc will be called no matter how many arguments the user
entered.
=head1 CATEGORIES
Normally, when the user types 'help', she receives a short
summary of all the commands in the command set.
However, if your application has 30 or more commands, this can
result in information overload. To manage this, you can organize
your commands into help categories
All help categories are assembled into a hash and passed to the
the default L<help_call> and
L</help_args> methods. If you don't
want to use help categories, simply pass undef for the categories.
Here is an example of how to declare a collection of help categories:
my $helpcats = {
breakpoints => {
desc => "Commands to halt the program",
cmds => qw(break tbreak delete disable enable),
},
data => {
desc => "Commands to examine data",
cmds => ['info', 'show warranty', 'show args'],
}
};
"show warranty" and "show args" on the last line above
are examples of how to include
subcommands in a help category: separate the command and
subcommands with whitespace.
=head1 CALLBACKS
Callbacks are functions supplied by ShellUI but intended to be called by
your application.
They implement common functions like 'help' and 'history'.
=over 4
=item help_call(cats, parms, topic)
Call this routine to implement your help routine. Pass
the help categories or undef, followed by the command-line
arguments:
"help" => { desc => "Print helpful information",
args => sub { shift->help_args($helpcats, @_); },
method => sub { shift->help_call($helpcats, @_); } },
=cut
sub help_call
{
my $self = shift;
my $cats = shift; # help categories to use
my $parms = shift; # data block passed to methods
my $topic = $_[0]; # topics or commands to get help on
my $cset = $parms->{cset};
my $OUT = $self->{OUT};
if(defined($topic)) {
if(exists $cats->{$topic}) {
print $OUT $self->get_category_help($cats->{$topic}, $cset);
} else {
print $OUT $self->get_cmd_help(\@_, $cset);
}
} elsif(defined($cats)) {
# no topic -- print a list of the categories
print $OUT "\nHelp categories:\n\n";
for(sort keys(%$cats)) {
print $OUT $self->get_category_summary($_, $cats->{$_});
}
} else {
# no categories -- print a summary of all commands
print $OUT $self->get_all_cmd_summaries($cset);
}
}
=item help_args
This provides argument completion for help commands.
See the example above for how to call it.
=cut
sub help_args
{
my $self = shift;
my $helpcats = shift;
my $cmpl = shift;
my $args = $cmpl->{'args'};
my $argno = $cmpl->{'argno'};
my $cset = $cmpl->{'cset'};
if($argno == 0) {
# return both categories and commands if we're on the first argument
return $self->get_cset_completions($cset, keys(%$helpcats));
}
my($scset, $scmd, $scname, $sargs) = $self->get_deep_command($cset, $args);
# without this we'd complete with $scset for all further args
return [] if $argno >= @$scname;
return $self->get_cset_completions($scset);
}
=item complete_files
Completes on filesystem objects (files, directories, etc).
Use either
args => sub { shift->complete_files(@_) },
or
args => \&complete_files,
Starts in the current directory.
=cut
sub complete_files
{
my $self = shift;
my $cmpl = shift;
$self->suppress_completion_append_character();
use File::Spec;
my @path = File::Spec->splitdir($cmpl->{str} || ".");
my $dir = File::Spec->catdir(@path[0..$#path-1]);
# eradicate non-matches immediately (this is important if
# completing in a directory with 3000+ files)
my $file = $path[$#path];
$file = '' unless $cmpl->{str};
my $flen = length($file);
my @files = ();
if(opendir(DIR, length($dir) ? $dir : '.')) {
@files = grep { substr($_,0,$flen) eq $file } readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;
# eradicate dotfiles unless user's file begins with a dot
@files = grep { /^[^.]/ } @files unless $file =~ /^\./;
# reformat filenames to be exactly as user typed
@files = map { length($dir) ? ($dir eq '/' ? "/$_" : "$dir/$_") : $_ } @files;
} else {
$self->completemsg("Couldn't read dir: $!\n");
}
return \@files;
}
=item complete_onlyfiles
Like L</complete_files">
but excludes directories, device nodes, etc.
It returns regular files only.
=cut
sub complete_onlyfiles
{
my $self = shift;
# need to do our own escaping because we want to add a space ourselves
$self->suppress_completion_escape();
my @c = grep { -f || -d } @{$self->complete_files(@_)};
$self->{parser}->parse_escape(\@c);
# append a space if we've completed a unique file
$c[0] .= (-f($c[0]) ? ' ' : '') if @c == 1;
# append a helpful slash to indicate directories
@c = map { -d($_) ? "$_/" : $_ } @c;
return \@c;
}
=item complete_onlydirs
Like L</complete_files">,
but excludes files, device nodes, etc.
It returns only directories.
It I<does> return the . and .. special directories so you'll need
to remove those manually if you don't want to see them:
args = sub { grep { !/^\.?\.$/ } complete_onlydirs(@_) },
=cut
sub complete_onlydirs
{
my $self = shift;
my @c = grep { -d } @{$self->complete_files(@_)};
$c[0] .= '/' if @c == 1; # add a slash if it's a unique match
return \@c;
}
=item history_call
You can use this callback to implement the standard bash
history command. This command supports:
NUM display last N history items
(displays all history if N is omitted)
-c clear all history
-d NUM delete an item from the history
Add it to your command set using something like this:
"history" => { desc => "Prints the command history",
doc => "Specify a number to list the last N lines of history" .
"Pass -c to clear the command history, " .
"-d NUM to delete a single item\n",
args => "[-c] [-d] [number]",
method => sub { shift->history_call(@_) },
},
=cut
sub history_call
{
my $self = shift;
my $parms = shift;
my $arg = shift;
# clear history?
if($arg && $arg eq '-c') {
$self->{term}->clear_history();
return;
}
if($arg && $arg eq '-d') {
@_ or die "Need the indexes of the items to delete.\n";
for(@_) {
/^\d+$/ or die "'$_' needs to be numeric.\n";
# function is autoloaded so we can't use can('remove_history')
# to see if it exists. So, we'll eval it and pray...
eval { $self->{term}->remove_history($_); }
}
return;
}
# number of lines to print (push maximum onto args if no arg supplied)
my $num = -1;
if($arg && $arg =~ /^(\d+)$/) {
$num = $1;
$arg = undef;
}
push @_, $arg if $arg;
die "Unknown argument" . (@_==1?'':'s') . ": '" .
join("', '", @_) . "'\n" if @_;
die "Your readline lib doesn't support history!\n"
unless $self->{term}->can('GetHistory');
# argh, this has evolved badly... seems to work though.
my @history = $self->{term}->GetHistory();
my $where = @history;
$num = @history if $num == -1 || $num > @history;
@history = @history[@history-$num..$#history];
$where = $self->{term}->where_history()

=head1 METHODS
These are the routines that your application calls to create
and use a Term::ShellUI object.
Usually you simply call new() and then run() -- everything else
is handled automatically.
You only need to read this section if you wanted to do something out
of the ordinary.
=over 4
=item new Term::ShellUI(I<C<named args...>>)
Creates a new ShellUI object.
It accepts the following named parameters:
=over 3
=item app
The name of this application (will be passed to L<Term::ReadLine/new>).
Defaults to $0, the name of the current executable.
=item term
Usually Term::ShellUI uses its own Term::ReadLine object
(created with C<new Term::ReadLine $args{'app'}>). However, if
you can create a new Term::ReadLine object yourself and
supply it using the term argument.
=item blank_repeats_cmd
This tells Term::ShellUI what to do when the user enters a blank
line. Pass 0 (the default) to have it do nothing (like Bash),
or 1 to have it repeat the last command (like GDB).
=item commands
A hashref containing all the commands that ShellUI will respond to.
The format of this data structure can be found below in the
L<command set|/"COMMAND SET"> documentation.
If you do not supply any commands to the constructor, you must call
the L</commands> method to provide at least a minimal command set before
using many of the following calls. You may add or delete commands or
even change the entire command set at any time.
=item history_file
If defined then the command history is saved to this file on exit.
It should probably specify a dotfile in the user's home directory.
Tilde expansion is performed, so something like
C<~/.myprog-history> is perfectly acceptable.
=item history_max = 500
This tells how many items to save to the history file.
The default is 500.
Note that this parameter does not affect in-memory history. Term::ShellUI
makes no attemt to cull history so you're at the mercy
of the default of whatever ReadLine library you are using.
See L<Term::ReadLine::Gnu/StifleHistory> for one way to change this.
=item keep_quotes
Normally all unescaped, unnecessary quote marks are stripped.
If you specify C<keep_quotes=E<gt>1>, however, they are preserved.
This is useful if your application uses quotes to delimit, say,
Perl-style strings.
=item backslash_continues_command
Normally commands don't respect backslash continuation. If you
pass backslash_continues_command=>1 to L</new>, then whenever a line
ends with a backslash, Term::ShellUI will continue reading. The backslash
is replaced with a space, so
$ abc \
> def
Will produce the command string 'abc def'.
=item prompt
This is the prompt that should be displayed for every request.
It can be changed at any time using the L</prompt> method.
The default is S<<"$0> ">> (see L<app> above).
If you specify a code reference, then the coderef is executed and
its return value is set as the prompt. Two arguments are passed
to the coderef: the Term::ShellUI object, and the raw command.
The raw command is always "" unless you're using command completion,
where the raw command is the command line entered so far.
For example, the following
line sets the prompt to "## > " where ## is the current number of history
items.
$term->prompt(sub { $term->{term}->GetHistory() . " > " });
If you specify an arrayref, then the first item is the normal prompt
and the second item is the prompt when the command is being continued.
For instance, this would emulate Bash's behavior ($ is the normal
prompt, but > is the prompt when continuing).
$term->prompt(['$', '>']);
Of course, you specify backslash_continues_command=>1 to L</new> to cause
commands to continue.
And, of course, you can use an array of procs too.
$term->prompt([sub {'$'}, sub {'<'}]);
=item token_chars
This argument specifies the characters that should be considered
tokens all by themselves. For instance, if I pass
token_chars=>'=', then 'ab=123' would be parsed to ('ab', '=', '123').
Without token_chars, 'ab=123' remains a single string.
NOTE: you cannot change token_chars after the constructor has been
called! The regexps that use it are compiled once (m//o).
=item display_summary_in_help
Usually it's easier to have the command's summary (desc) printed first,
then follow it with the documentation (doc). However, if the doc
already contains its description (for instance, if you're reading it
from a podfile), you don't want the summary up there too. Pass 0
to prevent printing the desc above the doc. Defaults to 1.

=item run()
The main loop. Processes all commands until someone calls
C<L<exit_requested|/exit_requested(exitflag)>(true)>.
If you pass arguments, they are joined and run once. For
instance, $term->run(@ARGV) allows your program to be run
interactively or noninteractively:
=over
=item myshell help
Runs the help command and exits.
=item myshell
Invokes an interactive Term::ShellUI.

=item prompt(newprompt)
If supplied with an argument, this method sets the command-line prompt.
Returns the old prompt.
=cut
sub prompt { return shift->getset('prompt', shift); }
=item commands(newcmds)
If supplied with an argument, it sets the current command set.
This can be used to change the command set at any time.
Returns the old command set.
=cut
sub commands { return shift->getset('commands', shift); }
=item add_commands(newcmds)
Takes a command set as its first argument.
Adds all the commands in it the current command set.
It silently replaces any commands that have the same name.

}
}
=item exit_requested(exitflag)
If supplied with an argument, sets Term::ShellUI's finished flag
to the argument (1=exit, 0=don't exit). So, to get the
interpreter to exit at the end of processing the current
command, call C<$self-E<gt>exit_requested(1)>. To cancel an exit
request before the command is finished, C<$self-E<gt>exit_requested(0)>.
Returns the old state of the flag.
=cut

=item add_eof_exit_hook(subroutine_reference)
Call this method to add a subroutine as a hook into Term::ShellUI's
"exit on EOF" (Ctrl-D) functionality. When a user enters Ctrl-D,
Term::ShellUI will call each function in this hook list, in order,
and will exit only if all of them return 0. The first function to
return a non-zero value will stop further processing of these hooks
and prevent the program from exiting.
The return value of this method is the placement of the hook routine
in the hook list (1 is first) or 0 (zero) on failure.

=head1 OVERRIDES
These are routines that probably already do the right thing.
If not, however, they are designed to be overridden.
=over
=item blank_line()
This routine is called when the user inputs a blank line.
It returns a string specifying the command to run or
undef if nothing should happen.
By default, ShellUI simply presents another command line. Pass
C<blank_repeats_cmd=E<gt>1> to L<the constructor|/new> to get ShellUI to repeat the previous
command. Override this method to supply your own behavior.
=cut
sub blank_line
{
my $self = shift;
if($self->{blank_repeats_cmd}) {
my $OUT = $self->{OUT};
print $OUT $self->{prevcmd}, "\n";
return $self->{prevcmd};
}
return undef;
}
=item error(msg)
Called when an error occurrs. By default, the routine simply
prints the msg to stderr. Override it to change this behavior.
It takes any number of arguments, cocatenates them together and
prints them to stderr.
=cut
sub error
{
my $self = shift;
print STDERR @_;
}
=back
=head1 WRITING A COMPLETION ROUTINE
Term::ReadLine makes writing a completion routine a
notoriously difficult task.
Term::ShellUI goes out of its way to make it as easy
as possible. The best way to write a completion routine
is to start with one that already does something similar to
what you want (see the L</CALLBACKS> section for the completion
routines that come with ShellUI).
Your routine returns an arrayref of possible completions,
a string conaining a short but helpful note,
or undef if an error prevented any completions from being generated.
Return an empty array if there are simply no applicable competions.
Be careful; the distinction between no completions and an error
can be significant.
Your routine takes two arguments: a reference to the ShellUI
object and cmpl, a data structure that contains all the information you need
to calculate the completions. Set $term->{debug_complete}=5
to see the contents of cmpl:
=over 3
=item str
The exact string that needs completion. Often, for simple completions,
you don't need anything more than this.
NOTE: str does I<not> respect token_chars! It is supplied unchanged
from Readline and so uses whatever tokenizing it implements.
Unfortunately, if you've changed token_chars, this will often
be different from how Term::ShellUI would tokenize the same string.
=item cset
Command set for the deepest command found (see L</get_deep_command>).
If no command was found then cset is set to the topmost command
set ($self->commands()).
=item cmd
The command hash for deepest command found or
undef if no command was found (see L</get_deep_command>).
cset is the command set that contains cmd.
=item cname
The full name of deepest command found as an array of tokens
(see L</get_deep_command>). Use L</get_cname> to convert
this into a human-readable string.
=item args
The arguments (as a list of tokens) that should be passed to the command
(see L</get_deep_command>). Valid only if cmd is non-null. Undef if no
args were passed.
=item argno
The index of the argument (in args) containing the cursor.
If the user is trying to complete on the command name, then
argno is negative (because the cursor comes before the arguments).
=item tokens
The tokenized command-line.
=item tokno
The index of the token containing the cursor.
=item tokoff
The character offset of the cursor in the token.
For instance, if the cursor is on the first character of the
third token, tokno will be 2 and tokoff will be 0.
=item twice
True if user has hit tab twice in a row. This usually means that you
should print a message explaining the possible completions.
If you return your completions as a list, then $twice is handled
for you automatically. You could use it, for instance, to display
an error message (using L<completemsg|/completemsg(msg)>) telling why no completions
could be found.
=item rawline
The command line as a string, exactly as entered by the user.
=item rawstart
The character position of the cursor in rawline.
=back
The following are utility routines that your completion function
can call.
=over
=item completemsg(msg)
Allows your completion routine to print to the screen while completing
(i.e. to offer suggestions or print debugging info -- see debug_complete).
If it just blindly calls print, the prompt will be corrupted and things
will be confusing until the user redraws the screen (probably by hitting
Control-L).
$self->completemsg("You cannot complete here!\n");
Note that Term::ReadLine::Perl doesn't support this so the user will always
have to hit Control-L after printing. If your completion routine returns
a string rather than calling completemsg() then it should work everywhere.
=cut
sub completemsg
{
my $self = shift;
my $msg = shift;
my $OUT = $self->{OUT};
print $OUT $msg;
# Now we need to tell the readline library to redraw the entire
# command line. Term::ReadLine::Gnu offers rl_on_new_line() but,
# because it's XS, it can't be detected using can().
# So, we just eval it and ignore any errors. If it doesn't exist
# then the prompt is corrupted. Oh well, best we can do!
eval { $self->{term}->rl_on_new_line() };
}
=item suppress_completion_append_character()
When the ReadLine library finds a unique match among the list that
you returned, it automatically appends a space. Normally this is
what you want (i.e. when completing a command name, in help, etc.)
However, if you're navigating the filesystem, this is definitely
not desirable (picture having to hit backspace after completing
each directory).
Your completion function needs to call this routine every time it
runs if it doesn't want a space automatically appended to the
completions that it returns.
=cut
sub suppress_completion_append_character
{
shift->{term}->Attribs->{completion_suppress_append} = 1;
}
=item suppress_completion_escape()
Normally everything returned by your completion routine
is escaped so that it doesn't get destroyed by shell metacharacter
interpretation (quotes, backslashes, etc). To avoid escaping
twice (disastrous), a completion routine that does its own escaping
(perhaps using L<Text::Shellwords::Cursor>parse_escape)
must call suppress_completion_escape every time is called.
=cut
sub suppress_completion_escape
{
shift->{suppress_completion_escape} = 1;
}
=item force_to_string(cmpl, commmpletions, default_quote)
If all the completions returned by your completion routine should be
enclosed in single or double quotes, call force_to_string on them.
You will most likely need this routine if L<keep_quotes> is 1.
This is useful when completing a construct that you know must
always be quoted.
force_to_string surrounds all completions with the quotes supplied by the user
or, if the user didn't supply any quotes, the quote passed in default_quote.
If the programmer didn't supply a default_quote and the user didn't start
the token with an open quote, then force_to_string won't change anything.
Here's how to use it to force strings on two possible completions,
aaa and bbb. If the user doesn't supply any quotes, the completions
will be surrounded by double quotes.
args => sub { shift->force_to_string(@_,['aaa','bbb'],'"') },
Calling force_to_string escapes your completions (unless your callback
calls suppress_completion_escape itself), then calls
suppress_completion_escape to ensure the final quote isn't mangled.
=cut
sub force_to_string
{
my $self = shift;
my $cmpl = shift;
my $results = shift;
my $bq = shift; # optional: this is the default quote to use if none
my $fq = $bq;
my $try = substr($cmpl->{rawline}, $cmpl->{rawstart}-1, 1);
if($try eq '"' || $try eq "'") {
$fq = '';
$bq = $try;
}
if($bq) {
$self->{parser}->parse_escape($results) unless $self->{suppress_completion_escape};
for(@$results) {
$_ = "$fq$_$bq";
}
$self->suppress_completion_escape();
}

Follows all synonyms and subcommands.
Returns undef if the command could not be found.
my($cset, $cmd, $cname, $args) =

This call takes two arguments:
=over 3
=item cset
This is the command set to use. Pass $self->commands()
unless you know exactly what you're doing.
=item tokens
This is the command line that the command should be read from.
It is a reference to an array that has already been split
on whitespace using L<Text::Shellwords::Cursor::parse_line>.
=back
and it returns a list of 4 values:
=over 3
=item 1.
cset: the deepest command set found. Always returned.
=item 2.
cmd: the command hash for the command. Undef if no command was found.
=item 3.
cname: the full name of the command. This is an array of tokens,
i.e. ('show', 'info'). Returns as deep as it could find commands
even if the final command was not found.

This routine figures out the command set of the completion routine
that needs to be called, then calls call_args(). It is called
by completion_function.
You should override this routine if your application has custom
completion needs (like non-trivial tokenizing, where you'll need
to modify the cmpl data structure). If you override
this routine, you will probably need to override
L<call_cmd|/call_cmd(parms)> as well.

To watch and debug the completion process, you can set $self->{debug_complete}
to 2 (print tokenizing), 3 (print tokenizing and results) or 4 (print
everything including the cmpl data structure).
Youu should never need to call or override this function. If

Pass it a command set, and it will return a string containing
the summaries for each command in the set.

=item load_history()
If $self->{history_file} is set (see L</new>), this will load all
history from that file. Called by L<run|/run()> on startup. If you
don't use run, you will need to call this command manually.
=cut
sub load_history

}

=item save_history()
If $self->{history_file} is set (see L</new>), this will save all
history to that file. Called by L<run|/run()> on shutdown. If you
don't use run, you will need to call this command manually.
The history routines don't use ReadHistory and WriteHistory so they
can be used even if other ReadLine libs are being used. save_history
requires that the ReadLine lib supply a GetHistory call.

=item call_command(parms)
Executes a command and returns the result. It takes a single
argument: the parms data structure.
parms is a subset of the cmpl data structure (see the L<complete/complete(cmpl)>
routine for more). Briefly, it contains:
cset, cmd, cname, args (see L</get_deep_command>),
tokens and rawline (the tokenized and untokenized command lines).
See L<complete|/complete(cmpl)> for full descriptions of these fields.
This call should be overridden if you have exotic command
processing needs. If you override this routine, you will probably
need to override the L<complete|/complete(cmpl)> routine too.
