setOutput

public void setOutput(Writer output)

Description copied from interface: ShellCommand

Configure the command's output.

Specified by:

setOutput in interface ShellCommand

Parameters:

output - the output to set

tabCompletion

public int tabCompletion(String lastArgument,
                List<CharSequence> candidates)

Description copied from interface: ShellCommand

Handle tab completion for the command. This is optional, but provides a mechanism by which individual commands can enable command-specific tab completion functionality. The return value of this method represents the cursor position within lastArgument that represents the origin point for all of the candidates. Return 0 to indicate that the candidates are all full-replacements of lastArgument. Return -1 to indicate that no candidates were supplied. Return a positive, non-negative value if the returned candidates are partial completions. For example, if the user has typed "aar", then a command could return any of: candidates=[] rval=-1 candidates=["aardvark", "aardwolf"] rval=0 candidates=["dvark", "dwolf"] rval=3 In the latter two examples, the tab-completion will be the same, but the user will be shown the different candidate values (when more than 1 candidate is returned).

Specified by:

tabCompletion in interface ShellCommand

Returns:

the cursor position
