I think there's something do with pkg_* in the latest zsh ports, but I
could be mistaken. Hmm, it seems to be in zsh-devel, but not zsh. Take
a look anyway.
I made this for manpages, but it's _really_ ugly and slow. It also
doesn't work sometimes, but I don't care enough to have bothered fixing
it. It's better than nothing anyway.
function find_manpage() {
start=$1
choices=""
count=0
# need a colon in IFS to split $MANPATH
old_IFS="$IFS"
IFS=":$IFS"
# need this to prevent error from "no match found"
setopt nullglob
for i in ${=MANPATH}; do
for j in $i/*/${start}*; do
# strip off leading path and trailing .n.gz
choices="$choices ${${j##*/}%%.?.gz}"
let "count = count + 1"
if [[ $count -ge 100 ]]; then
break 2
fi
done
done
# turn off again
unsetopt nullglob
# put IFS back to what it was before
IFS="$old_IFS"
unset old_IFS
# set the reply array
eval reply=($choices)
# clean up variables
unset choices start count
}
compctl -K find_manpage man
