# Completion
This page explains completion for gobgp client.
## Bash completion
The described how to use and how to customize of bash completion.
### How to use
1. install bash-completion as follows:
```bash
% sudo apt-get install bash-completion
```
1. add gobgp's path to PATH environment variable
If you run 'go get github.com/osrg/gobgp/gobgp', gobgp command is installed
in $GOPATH/bin.
```bash
% export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
```
1. load completion file
```bash
% source $GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/completion/gobgp-completion.bash
```
You can use tab completion for gobgp after loading gobgp-completion.bash.
### How to customize
In order to customize the bash completion, please follow steps below:
1. generate bash completion file
Generate the bash completion file by using binary of gobgp client.
This generating function uses
[cobra bash completion](https://github.com/spf13/cobra#generating-bash-completions-for-your-command)
internally.
```bash
% gobgp --gen-cmpl --bash-cmpl-file=<specifying a file name>
```
The following function is generated if added the "gobgp neighbor" command
to gobgp client.
```bash
_gobgp_neighbor()
{
last_command="gobgp_neighbor"
commands=()
flags=()
two_word_flags=()
flags_with_completion=()
flags_completion=()
flags+=("--bash-cmpl-file=")
flags+=("--debug")
flags+=("-d")
flags+=("--gen-cmpl")
flags+=("-c")
flags+=("--host=")
two_word_flags+=("-u")
flags+=("--json")
flags+=("-j")
flags+=("--port=")
two_word_flags+=("-p")
flags+=("--quiet")
flags+=("-q")
must_have_one_flag=()
must_have_one_noun=()
}
```
1. copy the generated functions
Copy the above function to **gogbp-static-completion.bash**.
1. implement a dynamic completion
If you want to add dynamic completion, you need to implement that part
yourself.
For example, if you want to add the neighbor address after the "gobgp
neighbor" command dynamically, you can achieve it by implementing the
specific internal command in **gobgp-dynamic-completion.bash**.
1. implement command to get a list of the neighbor address
You need to add the processing function of the following like below to
**gobgp-dynamic-completion.bash**.
```bash
# Get bgp neighbors by using gobgp command.
__gobgp_q_neighbor()
{
local neighbors=( $(__gobgp_q $url $port --quiet neighbor) )
case "${neighbors[*]}" in
"grpc: timed out"* | "rpc error:"* )
req_faild="True"
return
;;
esac
for n in ${neighbors[*]}; do
commands+=($n)
done
searched="True"
}
```
1. add a call to "__gobgp_q_neighbor"
You can call the above functions by implementing as follows to
**gobgp-static-completion.bash**:
```bash
_gobgp_neighbor()
{
last_command="gobgp_neighbor"
commands=()
flags=()
two_word_flags=()
flags_with_completion=()
flags_completion=()
flags+=("--bash-cmpl-file=")
flags+=("--debug")
flags+=("-d")
flags+=("--gen-cmpl")
flags+=("-c")
flags+=("--host=")
two_word_flags+=("-u")
flags+=("--json")
flags+=("-j")
flags+=("--port=")
two_word_flags+=("-p")
flags+=("--quiet")
flags+=("-q")
must_have_one_flag=()
must_have_one_noun=()
# Implement call processing to here
__gobgp_q_neighbor
}
```
1. implement the handle processing
If you want to add the completion following the "gobgp neighbor \<neighbor
address\>" command, you need to add a handler for _gobgp_neighbor_addr()
like below to "__handle_gobgp_command()" function in
**gobgp-dynamic-completion.bash**.
```bash
case "${last_command}" in
# Control after dynamic completion of bgp neighbor command
gobgp_neighbor )
next_command="_${last_command}_addr"
;;
esac
```
"next_command" variable above indicates a function to be called after
"gobgp neighbor", and the function name of next command is supposed to be
"_gobgp_neighbor_addr" in the example above.
Therefore the actual "gobgp_neighbor_addr" function needs to be
implemented in **gobgp-dynamic-completion.bash**.
```bash
_gobgp_neighbor_addr()
{
last_command="gobgp_neighbor_addr"
commands=()
commands+=("local")
commands+=("adj-in")
commands+=("adj-out")
commands+=("reset")
commands+=("softreset")
commands+=("softresetin")
commands+=("softresetout")
commands+=("shutdown")
commands+=("enable")
commands+=("disable")
commands+=("policy")
flags=()
two_word_flags=()
flags_with_completion=()
flags_completion=()
flags+=("--address-family=")
two_word_flags+=("-a")
flags+=("--bash-cmpl-file=")
flags+=("--debug")
flags+=("-d")
flags+=("--gen-cmpl")
flags+=("-c")
flags+=("--host=")
two_word_flags+=("-u")
flags+=("--json")
flags+=("-j")
flags+=("--port=")
two_word_flags+=("-p")
flags+=("--quiet")
flags+=("-q")
must_have_one_flag=()
must_have_one_noun=()
}
```
1. delete the generated bash completion file.
## Zsh completion
The described how to use of bash completion.
### How to use
zsh completion for gobgp works by adding the path of gobgp zsh completion
directory to $fpath and enabling zsh completion like below:
```bash
% vi ~/.zshrc
GOBGP_COMP=$GOPATH/src/github.com/osrg/gobgp/tools/completion/zsh
fpath=($GOBGP_COMP $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
```
