This merges a collection of changes attempting to rationalize how fish
handles the tty size.
The basic problem this addresses is that, prior to this fix, a call to
`common_get_width()` could result in arbitary code execution, as it lazily
updates COLUMNS and LINES which fires events, etc. With the new design, we
explicitly track the 'last known' tty size and also whether it is known stale,
and update it only at defined points.
This stuff is fraught and tricky, and so it is a merge commit so that if
something breaks, we can revert the whole thing and not end up with two
sources of termsize truth. Knock on wood.
Finish the transition to termsize.h. Remove the scary termsize bits
from common.cpp, which can throw off events at arbitrary calls and are
dangerously reentrant. Migrate everyone to the new termsize.h.
fish's handling of terminal sizes is currently rather twisted. The
essential problem is that the terminal size may change at any point from a
SIGWINCH, and common_get_{width,height} may modify it and post variable
change events from arbitrary locations.
Tighten up the semantics. Assign responsibility for managing the tty size
to a new class, `termsize_container_t`. Rationalize locking and reentrancy.
Explicitly nail down the relationship between $COLUMNS/$LINES and the tty
size. The new semantics are: whatever changed most recently takes
precendence.
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to resize the terminal via
TIOCSWINSZ, which was added as part of #3740. In practice this probably
never did anything useful since generally only the tty master can use
this. Remove the support and note it in the changelog.
Prior to this fix, s_reset would attempt to reset the screen, optionally
using the PROMPT_SP hack to go to the next line. This in turn required
passing in the screen width even if it wasn't needed (because we were
not going to abandon the line). Factor this into two functions:
- s_reset_line which does not apply the hack
- s_reset_abandoning_line which applies the PROMPT_SP hack
common_get_width will "lazily" decide the screen width, which means
changing the environment variable stack. This is a surprising thing
to do from the middle of screen rendering.
Switch to passing in widths explicitly to screen.
The removed comparison ({begin,end,field} == INT_MIN) always evaluates
to false, because at this point in evaluation, `begin <= 0` has already
been evaluated to be false. Since INT_MIN <= 0, the second conditional
in all three of the affected cases is always false. The C++ standard
seems to guarantee left-to-right evaluation of logical operators, but
not necessarily bitwise operators.

With the new pexpect based framework, bind and pipeline expect tests can
be removed.
Amusingly the complete.fish check required the existence of bind.expect.
Fix the check at the same time.
Make it easier to use pexpect and to understand its error messages.
Switch to a style in tests using bound methods, which makes them
less noisy to write.
This adds a new interactive test framework based on Python's pexpect. This
is intended to supplant the TCL expect-based tests.
New tests go in `tests/pexpects/`. As a proof-of-concept, the
pipeline.expect test and the (gnarly) bind.expect test are ported to the
new framework.
We are 1-indexed, and so it's weird to have `test` count its arguments
from 0.
For `test 1 =` this changes the error from
test: Missing argument at index 2
1 =
^
to
test: Missing argument at index 3
1 =
^
test loves error messages like
test: Missing argument at index 2
without explaining where that "index 2" is.
So now, we print the arguments below that, with a caret pointing to
the place where the error occured.
For example:
> test 1 = 2 and echo true or echo false
test: Expected a combining operator like '-a' at index 3
1 = 2 and echo true or echo false
^

There's a terrible number of fishscripts that start with
set path (dirname (status filename))
And that's really just a bit boring.
So let's let it be
set path (status dirname)
This reverts commit 1b0ec21773.
"Interactive" has multiple meanings here, one of them being "the whole shell" is interactive, which `status is-interactive` tests, and one "this interaction is interactive", which happens when `read`ing in a script.
Fixes#7080.
This change is necessary to fix dynamic titles for the Alacritty
terminal. We do this by simply adding the (wchar_t *) literal
L"alacritty" to the end of the title_terms array. This variable is
ultimately used in the subsequent function
does_term_support_setting_title (dtsst) for the purposes of whitelisting
certain terminals.
If an Alacritty user does not have the terminfo for alacritty present in
their terminfo database, Alacritty sets the TERM variable to
"xterm-256color", but if the terminfo for Alacritty is present, TERM is
instead set to "alacritty".
Prior to this change, none of the "fallback patterns" in the dtsst
function (which is used to ultimately decide whether or not a given
value of the TERM environment variable is supported) would apply to a
value of "alacritty". Ordinarily, the dtsst function would return true
if nothing matches, but one of the final checks involves testing the
result of ttyname_r to see if it contains the substring "tty", which
causes dtsst to return false. In the case where TERM="alacritty", this
is erroneous, because Alacritty does, indeed, support changing its title
and will also silently ignore attempts to change the title if that
behavior has been disabled by the user [1].
The changed file, src/env_dispatch.cpp, was reformatted by clang-format
in accordance with the documented procedures for contributors.

When fish exits, it tries to restore the foreground process group.
However this may actually steal control of the fg process group
from another process. Fix this by clearing the SIGTTOU handler so
that tcsetpgrp() will fail.
Credit to @mqudsi for awesome debugging.
Fixes#7060
Prior to this change, if the user's prompt was wider than the terminal, we
would reduce it to just `> `. With this change, attempt to truncate the
prompt.
For each line of the prompt, calculate its width. If the width exceeds
COLUMNS, prepend ellipsis to that line, and start removing characters
until it fits. Escape sequences are skipped.
Fixes#904
Initially I wanted to pick a different name to avoid confusion with
process groups, but really job trees *are* process groups. So name them
to reflect that fact.
Also rename "placeholder" to "internal" which is clearer.
Prior to this, jobs all had a pgid, and fish has to work hard to ensure
that pgids were inherited properly for nested jobs. But now the job tree
is the source of truth and there is only one location for the pgid.
job_lineage was used to track "where jobs came from" but the job tree idea is
a better abstraction. It groups jobs together similar to how a process group
would in other shells. Begin to remove the notion of lineage.
Job trees come in two flavors: “placeholders” for jobs which are only fish
functions, and non-placeholders which need to track a pgid. This adds
logic to allow a job to decide if its parent's job tree is appropriate,
and allocating a new tree if not.
job_tree represents the data that should be shared between a job and any
jobs that may be spawned by functions or eval run as part of that job. It
reifies shared data that before was handled piecemeal.
We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst
here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these.
It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without
requiring another build dependency.
Currently fish aborts execution mid-pipeline if a file redirection
failed, which can leave the shell in a broken state (job abandoned after
giving control of the terminal to an already-executed job in the
pipeline).
This patch replaces a failed fd with a closed fd and continues execution
if the affected process wasn't the first in the pipeline.
While this is a hack to address the regression behind fish-shell/#7038
introduced in d62576c, it can also be argued that this behavior is
actually more correct... right?
Closes#7038.
* Add an "_" builtin to call into gettext
We already have gettext in C++ (if available), so it seems weird to
fork off a command to start it from script.
This is only for fish's own translations. There's no way to call into
other catalogs, it just translates all arguments separately.
This is faster by a factor of ~1000, which allows us to call
translations much more, especially from scripts.
E.g. making fish_greeting global by default would hurt cost-wise,
given that my fish starts up in 8ms and just calling the current `_`
function takes 2ms, and that would have two calls.
Incidentally, this also makes us rely on a weirdly defined function
less, so it:
Fixes#6804.
* docs: Add `_` docs
Let's see if that filename works out.
* Reword _ docs
This is a function you can either execute once, interactively, or
stick in config.fish, and it will do the right thing.
Some options are included to choose some slightly different behavior,
like setting $PATH directly instead of $fish_user_paths, or moving
already existing components to the front/back instead of ignoring
them, or appending new components instead of prepending them.
The defaults were chosen because they are the most safe, and
especially because they allow it to be idempotent - running it again
and again and again won't change anything, it won't even run the
actual `set` because it skips that if all components are already in.
Fixes#6960.
Variables like $status and $history showed up in all scopes, including
universal, when querying with `set -q` or `set -S`.
This makes it so they all only count as set in global scope, because
we already only allow assignment to electric variables in global scope.
Fixes#7032
This patch fixes an underflow in the jump family of readline commands
when called via `commandline -f` outside of a bind context such as
`commandline -f backward-jump`. To reproduce, run that command at a
prompt and the shell will crash with a buffer underlow.
This happens because the jump commands have non-zero arity, requiring a
character event to be pushed on the function args stack. Pushing the
character event is handled in `function_push_args`, called by
`inputter_t::mapping_execute`, which checks the arity of the function
and enqueues the required number of charcter events. However,
`builtin_commandline` calls `reader_queue_ch`, which in turn calls
`inputter_t::queue_ch`, which immediately enqueues the readline event
without calling `function_push_args`, so the character event is never
pushed on the arg stack.
This patch adds a check in inputter_t::queue_ch which checks if the
character event is a readline event, and if so, calls
`function_push_args`.
fish_git_prompt encloses its output in brackets, however this can be changed by supplying a format string to it, i.e. `fish_git_prompt %s`.
However when using `fish_vcs_prompt` there's no way to pass on the arg to fish_git_prompt, so you need to manually remove it.
fish_hg_prompt doesn't have the same format string support as fish_git_prompt, but I suppose it could be added later if needed.
When sending SIGCONT to a stopped job, this behaves now
a bit more like a job that was continued by the bg builtin;
bg uses job_t::continue_job which seems overkill here.
We don't need to call it if a job was stopped, because in that case
read_i() will fire fish_prompt already, because the newly stopped job
was probably a foreground job.
Fixes#1018
This just produced a spurious "Unknown signal" error on NetBSD and OpenBSD, and
the number picked was arbitrary. So let's just use the maximum that
appears to work everywhere.
(I will hate this if I test it elsewhere and need to reduce it to 62)
(This is a squashed commit, I did indeed hate it when I moved from
NetBSD to OpenBSD)
The default implementation will not print any output in that case, but this provides users with additional flexibility when it comes to customising the shell's behaviour.
This allows users to customise the behaviour of the shell by redefining the function. This is similar to how fish_title or fish_greeting behave, where the default implementation can be easily overridden.
The function receives as arguments the job id, command line, signal name and signal description.
Since 4414d5c888 (in fish 3.0.0) we
don't autoload completions if the command doesn't exist.
So there is no need to check inside the scripts anymore.
Whats more, a few (like pip and cabal) checked `command -q` instead of
`type -q`, meaning they'd fail if someone used a function instead of a
command of that name.
If the *command* actually needs to exist, checks like that are still
warranted, like in `npm` where aliasing it to `nvm` is popular.
A teensy additional bit: Make `sysctl -w` the same as `sysctl
--write`. That description was bogus.
At the moment calling __fish_prepend_sudo multiple times does not toggle
sudo, and also unnecessarily uses the `-c` flag to `commandline` to see if
the first token on the commandline is "sudo".
This change removes the `-c` switch and also toggles "sudo" on multiple
calls to __fish_prepend_sudo, while maintaining the cursor position and
while maintaining any spaces between "sudo" and the next token on the
commandline.
The local-exported variable will have disappeared by the time the
function is called.
"-V"/"--inherit-variable" is meant for something like this.
Fixes#7011
This allows tools like `stty` to set the terminal modes and fish will
honor them, for external commands.
The modes for fish are kept as they are.
Until now, the only change fish would do to the external modes is to
disable flow control *every time*, this changes it to only disabling
it on startup.
After that we don't apply *any* changes to the external modes (no
checks or validation or...), because we've never done that (other than
flow control), and it's not been a problem.
Fixes#2315.
The completions for help know many more help topics, it makes no sense
to whitelist them here.
Fix anchor links for tutorial sections.
Remove some dead code: the "man" branch was unreachable because of the
earlier (__fish_print_commands) case.
Add missing options:
--path causes the specified variable to be treated as a path variable, meaning it will automatically be split on colons, and joined using colons when quoted (echo "$PATH") or exported.
--unpath causes the specified variable to not be treated as a path variable. Variables with a name ending in "PATH" are automatically path variables, so this can be used to treat such a variable normally.

* Fix manpath handling in create_manpage_completions.py
...as well as do some (very!) light cleanup.
Currently, `create_manpage_completions.py` does not properly
understand/respect the `$MANPATH` variable. One important feature of
`$MANPATH` is that an empty component (i.e. the trailing : in
`foo:bar:`) expands to the 'default' or 'system' path -- that is to say,
the path that would be used if `$MANPATH` was unset. This allows the
user to extend the manpath without clobbering it, and has been a feature
many Unices have included for years.
The current implementation blindly uses the `$MANPATH` variable if it
exists, which does not allow for this behaviour -- to expand the
variable correctly, an external program must be invoked. Therefore, we
first shell out to the 'proper' (read: best guess) external program. If
that fails, we can then try to use `$MANPATH` directly/literally.
Finally, if both of those are impossible, we can fall back to some
common paths from widely used operating systems.
Note that the `man.conf` parsing has been removed: this is because while
many 'traditional' Unices (BSDs, Solaris, macOS) support this file, only
macOS actually ships a file -- most other Unices use a `conf.d`-style
layout and supporting that from our Python is impractical and silly at
best. On GNU (read: Linux) systems, `mandb` uses `/etc/man_db.conf` with
slightly different syntax and sematics. As this code-path has bitrotted
(and likely never worked, anyway), just remove it.
`create_manpage_completions.py` looks like it has suffered a lot of
confusion and bitrot in general over the last few years -- and is
overdue for a major refactoring. I am quite interested in tackling this,
but I plan to wait until the go-ahead to drop support for Python 2 is
given, as a major refactor/rewrite that still supports Python 2 (and
thus ignores the ergonomic/API/syntax improvements of Python 3) does not
make sense to me.
Related: #5657
It would probably be good to revisit `man.fish` once again when a
comprehensive refactor happens: hopefully every permutation of
`man`/`$MANPATH` could be documented as part of that effort.
* Restore /etc/man.conf parsing
I was not aware that this codepath was used -- since it appeared that it
would throw an error when it was reached. Redo it, using regex, and
support parsing NetBSD man.conf as well (untested).

Commit 5fccfd83ec, with the fix for #6806,
switched eval to buffer its output (like other builtins do). But this
prevents using eval with commands that wants to see the tty, especially
fzf. So only buffer the output if the output is piped to the next process.
builtin_eval needs to know whether to set up bufferfills to capture its

errput is piped (and not, say, directed to a file). In preparation for
this change, add bools to io_streams_t which track whether stdout and

This updates the behavior of tilde to match the behavior found in vim.
In vim, tilde toggles the case of the character under the cursor and
advances one character. In visual mode, the case of each selected
character is toggled, the cursor position moves to the beginning of
the selection, and the mode is changed to normal. In fish, tilde
capitalizes the current letter and advances one word. There is no
current tilde command for visual mode in fish.
This patch adds the readline commands `togglecase-letter` and
`togglecase-selection` to match the behavior of vim more closely. The
only difference is that in visual mode, the cursor is not modified.
Modifying the cursor in visual mode would require either moving it in
`togglecase-selection`, which seems outside its scope or adding
something like a `move-to-selection-start` readline command.
The description for an alias which already has escape sequences will
use backslash escapes for quoting; usually `string escape` can simply
quote it. Use a regex that accepts either escaping style.
We've been getting a bunch of comments on old closed issues. Instead
people should create new ones.
This adds a github "workflow" that should lock closed issues/prs after
90 days, except those labelled "question".
Let's see how it works out.
We had previously added a more helpful error message when a literal zero
index was specified when indexing into an array. This patch extends that
coverage to cases indexing into a command substitution, e.g.
```fish
echo (printf "hello\nworld\n")[0]
```

These file types should be properly handled by other unzip flavors too,

Otherwise it would print "Unknown Signal" on Linux. I didn't see an
obvious way to check signal validity, plus it hardly matters.
Also mimic the output from BSD strsignal on Linux.
Travis puts the commit message in an environment variable, so if it
contains the string `_flag` this would match TRAVIS_COMMIT_MESSAGE.
That happened in ca91c201c3, so the
tests failed.
We simply tighten the regex a little more, and make a commit message
that doesn't include the string.
I've been dealing with these a lot recently (android dev...), and it's
pretty annoying that unzip completions don't recognize them (They're
just zip files with a weird file extension).
For `true`, this makes uses like the
: some description of the job &
we used to have impossible, also it's just *wrong* that true can
return something that isn't true.
For false it's not super important but it should generally be
symmetrical with true.

This allows code of the form `if jobs -q $some_pid` in scripts to check whether a previously started job is still running. Previously this would return the correct value, but also print an error message.

When we say "the XYZ command/builtin", we should typically include a

- In the documentation for that command - no need to link to ulimit in
the ulimit page
- When we've already linked before - not every thing needs to be
clickable, or clicking it will cause the browser to mark fifty words
as visited. This is roughly what wikipedia does for crosslinks.

Many people have mentioned wanting support for changing / yanking /
deleting between "" and '', meaning the commands `ci' ci" yi' yi" di' di"`,
so this adds that support in a generic, and thus potentially confusing way.
The concept is that we check for the character backwards and forwards
before making the selection. Unfortunately, this will also work for *any*
character that isn't `w` or `W`, so `cia` could change everything between
two `a` characters.
Looking through the [bind documentation](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/bind.html)
and input handler at `src/input.cpp`,
this is the best possible solution I could come up with until
`forward-jump` and `backward-jump` can accept input in the call to `bind`,
and not just from stdin, meaning we can write a binding as:
```
bind di\" backward-jump-till \" and repeat-jump-reverse ...`
```
If that were done, then other commands such as `di)` to go between `()` would
be possible.
There are also some added `y` bindings not part of #6648.
Let me know if you need anything else.
This reverts commit 7f402cdae7.
There are fundamental issues with `funced` and `funcsave` that prevent
this from working. A file and a function are not interchangeable.
This was meant as an alternative key name or something, but it's just
rendered. It seems clear what the glyph refers to and we explain it
where we explain the left/right bindings anyway.

We have now entirely switched the script tests to littlecheck.
Note: This adjusts the complete_directories test, because it removes a
directory that was created before by a .in test. There's no real
change in behavior.
This does require the test directory be cleaned, or the tests will fail.
test_util gets to stay for a while longer, because it sets up the
testing env (locale and such).
This, together with the other testX, really just tests some basic
syntax. So let's just call it "basic".
Note that this file uses escaped newlines on purpose, so restyling it
would currently break it. I'm not sure what the best thing to do here is.
Instead of invoking littlecheck.py independently for each file, pass
all files at once. This amortizes the Python startup cost, and reduces
the total test time by ~15 seconds (!).
Commit b2f40783a2b5b0663409c4daa90b794b02dd37a6
This has better progress reporting, and the exit status of littlecheck
indicates how many test failures there were.
This isn't quite the old-style test, but it checks some of the line
continuation stuff.
Note that littlecheck ignores leading whitespace, so testing the
actual indentation requires some more effort.
Things like
```fish
\
echo foo
```
or
```fish
echo foo; \
echo bar
```
are a formatting blunder and should be handled.
This makes it so the escaped newline is removed, and the
semicolon/token_type_end handling will then put the statements on
different lines.
One case this doesn't handle brilliantly is an escaped newline after a
pipe:
```fish
echo foo | \
cat
```
is turned into
```fish
echo foo | cat
```
which here works great, but in long pipelines can cause issues.
Pipes at the end of the line cause fish to continue parsing on the
next line, so this can just be written as
```fish
echo foo |
cat
```
for now.

If given a prompt that includes a non-ascii char and a C locale, fish
currently fails to properly display it.
So you set `function fish_prompt; echo 😃; end` and it shows empty

characters to begin with, this is an unacceptable failure mode.

This tries to see if quotes guard some expansion from happening. If it
detects a "weird" character it'll leave the quotes in place, even in
some cases where it might not trigger.
So
for i in 'c' 'color'
turns into
for i in c color
The rationale here is that these quotes are useless, wasting
space (and line length), but more importantly that they are
superstitions. They don't do anything, but look like they do.
The counter argument is that they can be kept in case of later
changes, or that they make the intent clear - "this is supposed to be
a string we pass".
This means you can install multiple architectures of fish (eg x86 and
x86_64) alongside each other, using the same fish-common package.

This teaches the reader fast-path to use self-insert-notfirst, allowing

reducing redraws.
Fixes#6603. Somewhat improves #6704
This adds basic support for self-insert-notfirst. When we see a
self-insert-nonempty char event, we kick it back to the outer loop,
which only inserts the character if the cursor is not at the beginning.
This adds a new readline command self-insert-notfirst, which is
analogous to self-insert, except that it does nothing if the cursor
is at the beginning. This will serve as a higher-performance implementation
for stripping leading spaces on paste.

Naturally this does not work for many other editors/aliases,
but it's still nice that we can make it work for some common
editors without requiring any configuration.
Of course this approach is not terribly flexible; but it's
alwyas possible to just wrap edit_command_buffer and set an
EDITOR that knows about the cursor position. It doesn't
feel important enough to add a configuration option.
Using a local variable means we have to expand it when loading the
completion. With this approach, the content of the variable will be
expanded, so escape it.

debounce_t will be used to limit thread creation from background highlighting
and autosuggestion scenarios. This is a one-element queue backed by a
single thread. New requests displace any existing queued request; this
reflects the fact that autosuggestions and highlighting only care about
the most recent result.
A timeout allows for abandoning hung threads, which may happen if you
attempt to e.g. access a dead hard-mounted NFS server. We don't want
this to defeat autosuggestions and highlighting permanently, so allow
spawning a new thread after the timeout (here 500 ms).

Prior to this commit, when executing a builtin, we mark the job as not

There was the following comment:
// Since this may be the foreground job, and since a builtin may execute another
// foreground job, we need to pretend to suspend this job while running the
// builtin, in order to avoid a situation where two jobs are running at once.
The concern seemed to be in the `bg` and `fg` builtins, which might attempt
to foreground or background the jobs associated with `bg` and `fg` themselves.
But the builtins run before the job is marked constructed, so it cannot
actually happen.

* Yard out JIT support: delete src/jit, src/pcre2_jit_*.c, and code doing
stuff to code->executable_jit that needs a jit header (it was already NULL
because we've always built with JIT disabled).
* Remove most .c and .h files not needed to compile: pcre2grep code,
pcre2test code, dftables.c, pcre2_printint.c, pcre2_fuzzsupport.c ...
* Remove FindBZip2, FindZLIB, FindReadline, FindEditline. These were used
only by pcre2grep and made CMake's report misleading with regard to
optional packages being used.
* Remove configure.ac except for version number and date which CMake checks

This approach should not have the issues discussed in #5897.
Every single modification to the commandline can be undone individually,
except for adjacent single-character inserts, which are coalesced,
so they can be reverted with a single undo. Coalescing is not done for
space characters, so each word can be undone separately.
When moving between history search entries, only the current history
search entry is reachable via the undo history. This allows to go back
to the original search string with a single undo, or by pressing the
escape key.
Similarly, when moving between pager entries, only the most recent
selection in the pager can be undone.

6902459566 was an attempt to not print

not $status, which /usually/ is the same as $pipestatus[-1] --- unless
the builtin "not" is used, which inverts the $status of a job (it does
not alter $pipestatus).
As a result, the default prompt prints unexpected status codes:
~ > not false
~ [1]> not true
~ > not true | true
~ > not false | false
~ [1|1]>
This commit reintroduces printing of $status after $pipestatus, but only
if it is different from $pipestatus[-1].
Additionally, we only print anything at all if the $status is nonzero,
to avoid confusing output on `not false | false`
~ > not false

This switches bufferfills from using an exclusively-owned thread, to
sharing an fd_monitor. This allows multiple bufferfills to all use the same
thread.
fd_monitor is a new class which can monitor a set of fds, waiting for them
to become readable. When an fd becomes readable, a callback is invoked.
Timeouts are also supported.
This is intended to replace the "bufferfill" threads. Rather than one
thread per bufferfill, we will have a single fd_monitor which can service
multiple bufferfills. This helps today with nested command substitutions,
and will help in the future with concurrent execution.

This makes two changes:
1. Remove the 'brace_text_start' idea. The idea of 'brace_text_start' was
to prevent emitting `BRACE_SPACE` at the beginning or end of an item. But
we later strip these off anyways, so there is no apparent benefit. If we
are not doing brace expansion, this prevented emitting whitespace at the
beginning or end of an item, leading to #6564.
2. When performing brace expansion, only stomp the space character with
`BRACE_SPACE`; do not stomp newlines and tabs. This is because the fix in
came from a newline or tab literal, then we would have effectively
replaced a newline or tab with a space, so this is important for #6564 as
well. Moreover, it is not easy to place a literal newline or tab inside a
brace expansion, and users who do probably do not mean for it to be
stripped, so I believe this is a good change in general.

fish has some unprincipled code that attempts to tcsetpgrp() to own the
terminal before running a builtin; this was added because 'read' might
want to read from the terminal. I added this code before fully
understanding how process groups and terminals work. A better fix would
be to ensure that fish is marked as the pgroup leader in the job when
the builtin is the first process in the job, and we do that now.
Courageously back out the changes to grab the terminal; see #5147 and
also #5133.

In some cases on some platforms this could clobber errno, so doing something like
aThingThatFailsWithErrno();
FLOG(category, "Some message");
wperror("something");
would print the wrong error (presumably if that category was enabled).
In our case it was our (very) old friend RHEL6 returning ESPIPE instead of EISDIR.
Fixes#6545.
At the moment the "prepend sudo" functionality always sets the cursor to
the end of the line. This changes it to restore the relative position of
the cursor.
Prior to this fix, the cancellation C++ test would mark the parser as
interactive in an effort to install interactive signal handling (so that,
for example, SIGINT would stop the job and return control to the user).
However this flag would also cause fish to attempt to save and restore tty modes
across the job. This would fail since there is no tty, and so the job would fail
with an unexpected error code.
We don't need to mark the parser as interactive, we can just remove that line.
Fixes#6539.
Use some more move semantics to reduce allocations.
Correctly handle the case where the completion is empty. For example, if
you type:
ls<tab>
we get an empty completion (since ls is already a valid command), but we
still want to show its description.
Remove some unsafe statics - these are unsafe today in weird cases where
completions might invoke complete recursively, and also will soon be
unsafe with concurrent execution.
Prior to this fix, fish was rather inconsistent in when $status gets set
in response to an error. For example, a failed expansion like "$foo["
would not modify $status.
This makes the following inter-related changes:
1. String expansion now directly returns the value to set for $status on
error. The value is always used.
2. parser_t::eval() now directly returns the proc_status_t, which cleans
up a lot of call sites.
3. We expose a new function exec_subshell_for_expand() which ignores
$status but returns errors specifically related to subshell expansion.
4. We reify the notion of "expansion breaking" errors. These include
command-not-found, expand syntax errors, and others.
The upshot is we are more consistent about always setting $status on
errors.
macOS `mktemp -d` likes to return symlinks. Guard against that possibility.
That allows the test to succeed when run directly, instead of through the
build target.
It was possible to start the new job and execute `jobs` again before
the job died (or we noticed it did), so the test would fail.
To properly test, we need to ensure the job has been removed. `wait`
should do it.
This allows:
- Running scripts via shebang (not important here)
- Progress output (so we can ditch more of our run script)
- Context (only after, for now) - this is important if there is a test failure

Instead let's add the "/fish" component to the xdg dirs early, which

Fixes#6503 harder.
This commit recognizes an existing pattern: many operations need some
combination of a set of variables, a way to detect cancellation, and
sometimes a parser. For example, tab completion needs a parser to execute
custom completions, the variable set, should cancel on SIGINT. Background
autosuggestions don't need a parser, but they do need the variables and
should cancel if the user types something new. Etc.
This introduces a new triple operation_context_t that wraps these concepts
up. This simplifies many method signatures and argument passing.
When executing a buffered block or builtin, the usual approach is to
execute, collect output in a string, and then output that string to
stdout or whatever the redirections say. Similarly for stderr.
If we get no output, then we can elide the outputting which means
skipping the background thread. In this case we just mark the process as
finished immediately.
We do this in multiple locations which is confusing. Factor them all
together into a new function run_internal_process_or_short_circuit.
It's now good enough to do so.
We don't allow grid-alignment:
```fish
complete -c foo -s b -l barnanana -a '(something)'
complete -c foo -s z -a '(something)'
```
becomes
```fish
complete -c foo -s b -l barnanana -a '(something)'
complete -c foo -s z -a '(something)'
```
It's just more trouble than it is worth.
The one part I'd change:
We align and/or'd parts of an if-condition with the in-block code:
```fish
if true
and false
dosomething
end
```
becomes
```fish
if true
and false
dosomething
end
```
but it's not used terribly much and if we ever fix it we can just
reindent.
They need to be escaped twice, for the local and the remote shell.
Also don't suggest local files as rsync remote paths (-a -> -xa) and
fix completion for remote paths containing multiple consecutive spaces.

for-loops that were not inside a function could overwrite global
and universal variables with the loop variable. Avoid this by making
for-loop-variables local variables in their enclosing scope.
This means that if someone does:
set a global
for a in local; end
echo $a
The local $a will shadow the global one (but not be visible in child
scopes). Which is surprising, but less dangerous than the previous
behavior.
The detection whether the loop is running inside a function was failing
inside command substitutions. Remove this special handling of functions
alltogether, it's not needed anymore.

This reduces the syscall count for `fish -c exit` from 651 to 566.
We don't attempt to *cache* the pgrp or anything, we just call it once
when we're about to execute the job to see if we are in foreground and
to assign it to the job, instead of once for checking foreground and
once to give it to the job.
Caching it with a simple `static` would get the count down to 480, but
it's possible for fish to have its pgroup changed.
Store the entire function declaration, not just its job list.
This allows us to extract the body of the function complete with any

Extend the commit 8e17d29e04 to block processes, for example:
begin ; stuff ; end
or if/while blocks as well.
Note there's an existing optimization where we do not create a job for a
block if it has no redirections.
job_promote attempts to bring the most recently "touched" job to the front
of the job list. It did this via:
std::rotate(begin, job, end)
However this has the effect of pushing job-1 to the end. That is,
promoting '2' in [1, 2, 3] would result in [2, 3, 1].
Correct this by replacing it with:
std::rotate(begin, job, job+1);
now we get the desired [2, 1, 3].
Also add a test.
This PR is aimed at improving how job ids are assigned. In particular,
previous to this commit, a job id would be consumed by functions (and
thus aliases). Since it's usual to use functions as command wrappers
this results in awkward job id assignments.
For example if the user is like me and just made the jump from vim -> neovim
then the user might create the following alias:
```
alias vim=nvim
```
Previous to this commit if the user ran `vim` after setting up this
alias, backgrounded (^Z) and ran `jobs` then the output might be:
```
Job Group State Command
2 60267 stopped nvim $argv
```
If the user subsequently opened another vim (nvim) session, backgrounded
and ran jobs then they might see what follows:
```
Job Group State Command
4 70542 stopped nvim $argv
2 60267 stopped nvim $argv
```
These job ids feel unnatural, especially when transitioning away from
e.g. bash where job ids are sequentially incremented (and aliases/functions
don't consume a job id).
See #6053 for more details.
As @ridiculousfish pointed out in
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/6053#issuecomment-559899400,
we want to elide a job's job id if it corresponds to a single function in the
foreground. This translates to the following prerequisites:
- A job must correspond to a single process (i.e. the job continuation
must be empty)
- A job must be in the foreground (i.e. `&` wasn't appended)
- The job's single process must resolve to a function invocation
If all of these conditions are true then we should mark a job as
"internal" and somehow remove it from consideration when any
infrastructure tries to interact with jobs / job ids.
I saw two paths to implement these requirements:
- At the time of job creation calculate whether or not a job is
"internal" and use a separate list of job ids to track their ids.
Additionally introduce a new flag denoting that a job is internal so
that e.g. `jobs` doesn't list internal jobs
- I started implementing this route but quickly realized I was
computing the same information that would be computed later on (e.g.
"is this job a single process" and "is this jobs statement a
function"). Specifically I was computing data that populate_job_process
would end up computing later anyway. Additionally this added some
weird complexities to the job system (after the change there were two
job id lists AND an additional flag that had to be taken into
consideration)
- Once a function is about to be executed we release the current jobs
job id if the prerequisites are satisfied (which at this point have
been fully computed).
- I opted for this solution since it seems cleaner. In this
implementation "releasing a job id" is done by both calling
`release_job_id` and by marking the internal job_id member variable to
-1. The former operation allows subsequent child jobs to reuse that
same job id (so e.g. the situation described in Motivation doesn't
occur), and the latter ensures that no other job / job id
infrastructure will interact with these jobs because valid jobs have
positive job ids. The second operation causes job_id to become
non-const which leads to the list of code changes outside of `exec.c`
(i.e. a codemod from `job_t::job_id` -> `job_t::job_id()` and moving the
old member variable to a non-const private `job_t::job_id_`)
Note: Its very possible I missed something and setting the job id to -1
will break some other infrastructure, please let me know if so!
I tried to run `make/ninja lint`, but a bunch of non-relevant issues
appeared (e.g. `fatal error: 'config.h' file not found`). I did
successfully clang-format (`git clang-format -f`) and run tests, though.

Two blocks of code were trying to do the same thing in different ways;
standardise on one, and only add the compile flags if CMake won't do it
itself (policy CMP0067).
Previously, the block stack was a true stack. However in most cases, you
want to traverse the stack from the topmost frame down. This is awkward
to do with range-based for loops.
Switch it to pushing new blocks to the front of the block list.
This simplifies some traversals.
Work around the issue in CMake where C++ standard doesn't get propagated
to CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES. Also correctly check for std::make_unique;
the define was missing from the config.h header.
GCC 4.8 requires the use of `-std=gnu++11` or similar to enable atomic
features. However, older versions of CMake don't pick up the
project-wide target for C++11 when building the configure check targets.
Although CMake policy 0067 could be set to NEW to enable this, it only
exists on CMake 3.8 and newer, while many of our supported platforms are
on an older version.
This was previously required so that, if there was a redirection to a
file, we would fork a process to create the file even if there was no
output. For example `echo -n >/tmp/file.txt` would have to create
file.txt even though it would be empty.
However now we open the file before fork, so we no longer need special
logic around this.

This prefixes files beginning with `-` with a `./` when generating
completions *in fish code*. Standard completions for directory listings
generated by the C++ directory traversal code are not afected by this
patch.
Most fish completions defer to `__fish_complete_suffix` to generate the
file/directory completions, these *will* be corrected.
As of GCC 7.4 (at least under macOS 10.10), the previous workaround of
casting a must-use result to `(void)` to avoid warnings about unused
code no longer works.
This workaround is uglier but it quiets these warnings.
The C++ spec (as of C++17/n4713) does not specify the sign of `wchar_t`,
saying only (in section 6.7.1: Fundamental Types)
> Type wchar_t shall have the same size, signedness, and alignment
> requirements (6.6.5) as one of the other integral types, called its
> underlying type.
On most *nix platforms on AMD64 architecture, `wchar_t` is a signed type
and can be compared with `int32_t` without incident, but on at least
some platforms (tested: clang under FreeBSD 12.1 on AARCH64), `wchar_t`
appears to be unsigned leading to sign comparison warnings:
```
../src/widecharwidth/widechar_width.h:512:48: warning: comparison of
integers of different signs: 'const wchar_t' and 'int32_t' (aka 'int')
[-Wsign-compare]
return where != std::end(arr) && where->lo <= c;
```
This patch forces the use of wchar_t for the range start/end values in
`widechar_range` and the associated comparison values.
Previously, if the user control-C'd out of a process, we would set a
bogus exit status in the process, but it was difficult to observe this
because we would be cancelling anyways. But set it properly.
If a Control-C is received during expanding a command substitution, we
may execute the job anyways, because we do not check for cancellation
after the expansion. Ensure that does not happen.
This should fix sporadic test failures in the cancellation unit test.
parser_t::eval indicates whether there was a parse error. It can be
easily confused with the status of the execution. Use a real type to
make it more clear.
$GIT_DIR is interpreted by git as an environment variable, pointing at the
.git directory. If git_version_gen.sh is run in an environment with an
exported GIT_DIR, it will re-export GIT_DIR to point at the fish source
directory. This will cause git operations to fail.
This could be reproduced as building fish as part of an interactive rebase
'exec' command. git_version_gen.sh would always fail!
Looking up a variable by a string literal implicitly constructs a wcstring.
By avoiding that, we get a noticeable reduction of temporary allocations.

close_fds=True is actually the default in Python 2.7 and 3.2, but not in

From the `git-switch` documentation:
If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in

This adds a test for the obscure case where an fd is redirected to
itself. This is tricky because the dup2 will not clear the CLO_EXEC bit.
So do it manually; also posix_spawn can't be used in this case.
The IO cleanup left file redirections open in the child. For example,
/bin/cmd < file.txt would redirect stdin but also leave the file open.
Ensure these get closed properly.
Prior to this fix, a file redirection was turned into an io_file_t. This is
annoying because every place where we want to apply the redirection, we
might fail due to open() failing. Switch to opening the file at the point
we resolve the redirection spec. This will simplify a lot of code.
Prior to this change, a process after it has been constructed by
parse_execution, but before it is executed, was given a list of
io_data_t redirections. The problem is that redirections have a
sensitive ownership policy because they hold onto fds. This made it
rather hard to reason about fd lifetime.
Change these to redirection_spec_t. This is a textual description
of a redirection after expansion. It does not represent an open file and
so its lifetime is no longer important.
This enables files to be held only on the stack, and are no longer owned
by a process of indeterminate lifetime.
fish has to ensure that the pipes it creates do not conflict with any
explicit fds named in redirections. Switch this code to using
autoclose_fd_t to make the ownership logic more explicit, and also
introduce fd_set_t to reduce the dependence on io_chain_t.
* Make `type -p` and `type -P` behave as documented
* Recognize `-` as an additional sign of no path
Functions created via `source` (like by `alias`) cause `functions --details` to return `-`
rather than `stdin` when invoked upon them.
Set variables for available connections and SSIDs only when the completion is loaded.
This is not perfect but faster than scanning for connections everytime.
Don't complete connection UUID, DBUS-PATH, ACTIVE-PATH because they are unintelligible.
Instead only complete the connection name.

Prior to this fix, a job would hold onto any IO redirections from its
parent. For example:
begin
echo a
end < file.txt
The "echo a" job would hold a reference to the I/O redirection.
The problem is that jobs then extend the life of pipes until the job is
cleaned up. This can prevent pipes from closing, leading to hangs.
Fix this by not storing the block IO; this ensures that jobs do not
prolong the life of pipes.

First tell them how to install (though we don't actually do that right
now), then tell them how to start it, and only *then* tell them how to
make it the default or uninstall it.
Just seems sensible to try it first then delete it.
Some more sections here were duplicated or not all that useful, and
it's weird to start with "Commands versus Functions".
Let's explain to people how to start fish, then let's get going.
Currently a job needs to know three things about its "parents:"
1. Any IO redirections for the block or function containing this job
2. The pgid for the parent job
3. Whether the parent job has been fully constructed (to defer self-disown)
These are all tracked in somewhat separate awkward ways. Collapse them
into a single new type job_lineage_t.
In preparation for concurrent execution, invert the control of function and
block execution. Allow a process to return an std::function that performs the
the execution. This can be run on either the main or a background thread
(eventually).
If Python 3.4 or later installed on the system, complement to the
number of physical cores. In addition, even if the number of physical
cores cannot be obtained, it was fixed to run properly.
(command pwd) uses the system's implementation of pwd. At least the GNU
coreutils implementation defaults to -P, which resulted in symlinks being
expanded when switching between directories with nextd/prevd.
- Don't use a guard uvar - we're only setting variables now, and

This did some weird unescaping to try to extract the first word.
So we're now more likely to be *correct*, and the alias benchmark is

Call it a win-win.
This splits a string into variables according to the shell's
tokenization rules, considering quoting, escaping etc.
This runs an automatic `unescape` on the string so it's presented like
it would be passed to the command. E.g.
printf '%s\n' a\ b
returns the tokens
printf
%s\n
a b
It might be useful to add another mode "--tokenize-raw" that doesn't
do that, but this seems to be the more useful of the two.
Fixes#3823.
Background fillthreads are used when we want to populate a buffer from an
external command. The most common is command substitution.
Prior to this commit, fish would spin up a fillthread whenever required.
This ended up being quite expensive.
Switch to using the iothread pool instead. This enables reusing the same
thread(s), which prevents needing to spawn new threads. This shows a big
perf win on the alias benchmark (766 -> 378 ms).
This reintroduces commits 22230a1a0d
and 9d7d70c204, now with the bug fixed.
The problem was when there was one thread waiting in the pool. We enqueue
an item onto the pool and attempt to wake up the thread. But before the
thread runs, we enqueue another item - this second enqueue will see the
thread waiting and attempt to wake it up as well. If the two work items
were dependent (reader/writer) then we would have a deadlock.
The fix is to check if the number of waiting threads is at least as large
as the queue. If the number of enqueued items exceeds the number of waiting
threads, then spawn a new thread always.
This added the function offset *again*, but it's already included in
the line for the current file.
And yes, I have explicitly tested a function file with a function
defined at a later line.
Fixes#6350
Since #6287, bare variable assignments do not parse, which broke
the "Unsupported use of '='" error message.
This commit catches parse errors that occur on bare variable assignments.
When a statement node fails to parse, then we check if there is at least one
prefixing variable assignment. If so, we emit the old error message.
See also #6347
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.

This mostly fixes some wrong indents or replaces some stray tab indents.
I excluded alignment on purpose, because we have a whole bunch of code
that goes like
```fish
complete -c foo -n 'some-condition' -l someoption
complete -c foo -n 'some-longer-condition' -l someotheroption

This would have prevented #6323.
While we don't want to pepper `command` everywhere, `psub` is kind of

CMake sets these flags to sane defaults depending on which compiler
you're using, so overriding them isn't very nice.
For example:
with g++, I get
-- Debug: -g
-- RelWithDebInfo: -O2 -g -DNDEBUG
-- MinSizeRel: -O2 -g -DNDEBUG
-- Release: -O3 -DNDEBUG
and with MSVC you get something like
-- Debug: /MDd /Zi /Ob0 /Od /RTC1
-- RelWithDebInfo: /MD /Zi /O2 /Ob1 /DNDEBUG
-- MinSizeRel: /MD /Zi /O2 /Ob1 /DNDEBUG
-- Release: /MD /O2 /Ob2 /DNDEBUG
fish will react to certain variable modifications, such as "TZ." Only do
this if the main stack is modified. This has no effect now because there
is always a single stack, but will become important when concurrent
execution is supported.
This adds string-x.rst for each subcommand x of string. The main page
(string.rst) is not changed, except that examples are shown directly after
each subcommand. The subcommand sections in string.rst are created by

Subcommand man pages can be viewed with either of:
```
man string collect
man string-collect
string collect <press F1 or Alt-h>

Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.

The history search logic had a not very useful "fast path" which was also
buggy because it neglected to dedup. Switch the "fast path" to just a
history search type which always matches.
Fixes#6278
PATH and CDPATH have special behavior around empty elements. Express this
directly in env_stack_t::set rather than via variable dispatch; this is
cleaner.
This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
When considering an autosuggestion from history, we attempt to validate the
command to ensure that we don't suggest invalid (e.g. path-dependent)
commands. Prior to this fix, we would validate the last command in the
command line (e.g. in `cd /bin && ./stuff` we would validate "./stuff".
This doesn't really make sense; we should be validating the first command
because it has the potential to change the PWD. Switch to validating the
first command.
Also remove some helper functions that became dead through this change.
This just makes more sense, as people don't want to enter exact
matches if they delete interactively.
It also brings it in line with "search".

This reorders many CHANGELOG entries.
The main idea is to keep the "NOTABLE fixes and improvements" for the headline items,

Every builtin or function shipped with fish supports flag -h or --help to
print a slightly condensed version of its manpage.
Some of those help messages are longer than a typical screen;
this commit pipes the help to a pager to make it easier to read.
As in other places in fish we assume that either $PAGER or "less" is a
valid pager and use that.
In three places (error messages for bg, break and continue) the help is
printed to stderr instead of stdout. To make sure the error message is
visible in the pager, we pass it to builtin_print_help, every call of which
needs to be updated.

Since the url is inside a AngularJS markup {{url}}, it's better to use **ng-href**.
From [AngularJS Documentation](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngHref):
<br>
"Using AngularJS markup like {{hash}} in an href attribute will make the link go to the wrong URL if the user clicks it before AngularJS has a chance to replace the {{hash}} markup with its value. Until AngularJS replaces the markup the link will be broken and will most likely return a 404 error. The ngHref directive solves this problem."
The `--entire` would enable output even though the `--quiet` should
have silenced it. These two don't make any sense together so print an
error, because the user could have just left off the `-q`.
We used to just check for the presence of "--" on the command line to
make judgements about which completions to suggest. Now, even if "--" is
present, we can still make different suggestions by taking the cursor's
position into account.
If "--" is present in the command line, it's usually safe to assume that
the user is going to want to complete a file tracked by git so let's
only suggest branches if "--" isn't present.
When there is already a "src:", we assume that it is a valid ref and
just complete "dst". This allows completion of dest if src is e.g. a
commit SHA (completing all possible refs would probably impact
performance).
See issue #3035.
This spewed errors because the `math` invocation got no second
operand:
Testing file checks/sigint.fish ... math: Error: Too few arguments
'1571487730 -'
but only if the `date` didn't do milliseconds, which is the case on
FreeBSD and NetBSD.
(also force the variable to be global - we don't want to have a
universal causing trouble here)
sys/sysctl.h is deprecated on glibc, so it leads to warnings.
According to fa4ec55c96, it was included for KERN_PROCARGS2 for
process expansion, but process expansion is gone, so it's unused now.
(there is another use of it in common.cpp, but that's only on FreeBSD)
Also 1f06e5f0b9 only included
tokenizer.h (present since the initial commit) if KERN_PROCARGS2
wasn't available, so it can't have been important.
This builds and passes the tests on:
- Archlinux, with glibc 2.30
- Alpine, with musl
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
Universal exported variables (created by `set -xU`) used to show up
both as universal and global variable in child instances of fish.
As a result, when changing an exported universal variable, the
new value would only be visible after a new login (or deleting the
variable from global scope in each fish instance).
Additionally, something like `set -xU EDITOR vim -g` would be imported
into the global scope as a single word resulting in failures to
execute $EDITOR in fish.
We cannot simply give precedence to universal variables, because
another process might have exported the same variable. Instead, we
only skip importing a variable when it is equivalent to an exported
universal variable with the same name. We compare their values after
joining with spaces, hence skipping those imports does not change the
environment fish passes to its children. Only the representation in
fish is changed from `"vim -g"` to `vim -g`.
Closes#5258.
This eliminates the issue #5348 for universal variables.
Consider a group of short options, like -xzPARAM, where x and z are options and z takes an argument.
This commit enables completion of the argument to the last option (z), both within the same
token (-xzP) or in the next one (-xz P).
complete -C'-xz' will complete only parameters to z.
complete -C'-xz ' will complete only parameters to z if z requires a parameter
otherwise, it will also complete non-option parameters
To do so this implements a heuristic to differentiate such strings from single long options. To
detect whether our token contains some short options, we only require the first character after the
dash (here x) to be an option. Previously, all characters had to be short options. The last option
in our example is z. Everything after the last option is assumed to be a parameter to the last
option.
Assume there is also a single long option -x-foo, then complete -C'-x' will suggest both -x-foo and
-xy. However, when the single option x requires an argument, this will not suggest -x-foo.
However, I assume this will almost never happen in practise since completions very rarely mix
short and single long options.
Fixes#332
In e167714899 we allowed recursive calls
to complete. However, some completions use infinite recursion in their
completions and rely on `complete` to silently stop as soon as it is
called recursively twice without parameter (thus completing the
current commandline). For example:
complete -c su -s -xa "(complete -C(commandline -ct))"
su -c <TAB>
Infinite recursion happens because (commandline -ct) is an empty list,
which would print an error message. This commmit explicitly detects
such recursive calls where `complete` has no parameter and silently
terminates. This enables above completion (like before raising the
recursion limit) while still allowing legitimate cases with limited
recursion.
Closes#6171
This stops reading argument names after another option appears. It does not break any previous uses and in fact fixes uses like
```fish
function foo --argument-names bar --description baz

* `function` command handles options after argument names (Fixes#6186)

BSD `seq` produces a down-counting sequence when the second argument is
smaller than the first, e.g.:
$ seq 2 1

$
While GNU `seq` produces no output at all:
$ seq 2 1
$
To accommodate for this behavior, only run `seq` when we are sure that
the second argument is greater than or equal to the first (in this case,
the second argument `line_count` should be greater than 1).

* Fix default Alt+W keybinding
The old keybinding would chop off the last line of the `whatis` output
when using a multi-line prompt. This fix corrects that.
* Make variable local and remove unneeded if statement
* Test that token is non-empty
1. Added missing commands and arguments.
2. Removed alternative spelling of some commands (e.g. clear-cache|clearcache) since a choice of spelling is not really useful for completion.
3. Fixed a typo: np-ansi → no-ansi.
4. Removed redundant backslash in front of $COMPOSER_HOME.
The updated completion was initially generated using the bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete package and then incorporated into the existing code.
Reproducer: type `: \<RET><M-p>`. This used to print an error due to builtin test receiving
too many arguments.
It looks like (commandline -j) can return multiple items, because a job can be broken up in multiple
lines terminated by backslashes.
With the new support for self-insert inserting a bound sequence,
the default binding for space as expanding abbreviations can be simplified
to just `self-insert expand-abbr`. This also fixes the bug where space
would cancel pager search.
Prior to this fix, self-insert would always wait for a new character.
Track in char_event what sequence generated the readline event, and then
if the sequence is not empty, insert that sequence.
This will support implementing the space binding via pure readline
functions.
Previously, tab-completion would move the cursor to the end of the current token, even
if no completion is inserted. This commit defers moving the cursor until we insert a completion.

I got tired of seeing ' ... ok (0 sec)' so now with GNU date/gdate
installed there is millisecond output shown. One can get rough
nanoseconds from gdate.
If interactive, `complete` commands are highlighted like they would
be if typed. Adds a little fun contrast and it's easier to read.
Moved a function out of fish_indent to highlight.h
we now print --long options for ones I arbitrarily decided
are less likely to be remembered.
Also fixed the `--wraps` items at the end not being escaped
Most of our completion scripts are written using the short options
anyhow, and this makes it less likely the output will span several
lines per command
This commit makes git completions aware of files that are both staged as renamed, and have unstaged
modifications/are deleted.
__fish_git_files now potentially prints these files twice:

Fixes#6031
Adds synopses for those commands missing them.
Moves all synopsis sections to code blocks. This improves the appearance, although highlighting as
fish code may not be the ideal appearance.
This sequence can be generatd by control-spacebar. Allow it to be bound
properly.
To do this we must be sure that we never round-trip the key sequence
through a C string.
By not manipulating each line or even each file at a time, we can go
back to `string` and piece together a pipeline that will execute
significantly faster than shelling out to `awk` will. This also removes
one of the few dependencies on `awk` in the codebase.
With this change, `__fish_print_hostnames` now finishes ~80% faster than
it used to a few commits back.
Reordering the `getent hosts` and read from `/etc/hosts` combined with
minimizing shelling and job invocations for parsing the output results
in a profiled and benchmarked ~42% decrease in the time it takes to run,
and that's on a machine with a very small hosts list in the first place.
This update also fixes the hadling of IPv6 addresses in the hosts
output, which were previously ignored, and ignores 127.* loopback
addresses in addition to the 0.0.0.0 address (plus adds support for
shorter IPv4 notations).
Fish completes parts of words split by the separators, so things like
`dd if=/dev/sd<TAB>` work.
This commit improves interactive completion if completion strings legitimately
contain '=' or ':'. Consider this example where completion will suggest
a:a:1 and other files in the cwd in addition to a:1
touch a:1; complete -C'ls a:'
This behavior remains unchanged, but this commit allows to quote or escape
separators, so that e.g. `ls "a:<TAB>` and `ls a\:<TAB>` successfully complete
the filename.
This also makes the completion insert those escapes automatically unless
already quoted.
So `ls a<TAB>` will give `ls a\:1`.
Both changes match bash's behavior.
Instead of warning (debug level 1), we now emit an error (debug level 0) if a known bad version of
WSL is detected. However, `FISH_NO_WSL_CHECK` can now be defined to skip both the check and the
startup message.
"space-delimited" sounds like you'd set it like `set
__fish_git_prompt_showupstream "auto verbose"`. This will not work.
It's a real actual proper list, which aren't space-delimited.

Arrow keys are often not conveniently located on keyboards, so the use of arrow keys for common keyboard shortcuts can be a turn-off for some.
I found that fish supports alternate keybindings for these cases but I didn't seem them documented in these places where the arrow keys versions are highlighted.
Meaning empty variables, command substitutions that don't print
anything.
A switch without an argument
```fish

error.
The none-argument matches either an empty-string `case ''` or a
catch-all `case '*'`.

This test uses universal variables, and so it can fail when run
multiple times.
It might be a good idea to do this in general, but for now let's just
try it here.
See for example: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-cherry
git cherry is quite helpful when trying to findout if merges between
branches are complete, when there were cherry-picks in addition to
merges.
Previously when propagating explicitly separated output, we would early-out
if the buffer was empty, where empty meant contains no characters. However
it may contain one or more empty strings, in which case we should propagate
those strings.
Remove this footgun "empty" function and handle this properly.
Fixes#5987
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to react if a local fish_complete_path
or fish_function_path were set. However this has never been very well tested
and will become impossible with concurrent execution. Always use the global
values.
Soon we will have more complicated logic around whether to call tcsetpgrp.
Prepare to centralize the logic by passing in the new term owner pgrp,
instead of having child_setup_process perform the decision.
I tested this manually (`littlecheck.py -s fish=fish tests/checks/eval.fish`) from the base directory, which means I got
"tests/checks/eval", while the real test gets "checks/eval".
I then reran `make test_fishscript`, but that didn't pull in the
updated test - we should really handle that better.
This exitted if the cursor was at the end of the line as well (i.e. if
delete-char failed). That's a bit too eager.
Also documentation, which should have already been included.
I'm gonna add more tests to this and I don't want to touch the old stuff.
Notice that this needs to have the output of the complete_directories
test adjusted because this one now runs later.
That's something we should take into account in future.
Previously, elements already existing in the path variable would keep their position when the path was being constructed from the config files. This caused issues given that $PATH typically already contains "/usr/bin:/bin" when fish initializes within a macOS terminal app. In this case, these would keep their position at the front of the $PATH, even though the system path_helper configs explicitly place them _after_ other paths, like "/usr/local/bin". This would render binaries in "/usr/local/bin" as effectively "invisible" if they also happen to live in "/usr/bin" as well. This is not the intended
This change makes the __fish_macos_set_env config function emulate the macOS standard path_helper behavior more faithfully, with:
1. The path list being constructed *from scratch* based on the paths specified in the config files
2. Any distinct entries in the exist path environment variable being appended to this list
3. And then this list being used to *replace* the existing path environment variable
The result, for a vanilla fish shell on macOS, is that the $PATH is now set to:
/usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin
Where previously it was set to:
/usr/bin /bin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /sbin
This new $PATH exactly matches the order of paths specified in `/etc/paths`.
We used to have a global notion of "is the shell interactive" but soon we
will want to have multiple independent execution threads, only some of
which may be interactive. Start tracking this data per-parser.
history now often writes to the history file asynchronously, but the history
test expects to find the text in the file immediately after running the
command. Hack a bit in history to make this test more reliable.
Prior to this diff, fish had different signal handling functions for
different signals. However it was hard to coordinate when a signal needed
to be the default handler, and when it was custom. In #5962 we overwrote
fish's custom WINCH handler with the default_handler when fish script asked
for WINCH to be handled.
Just have a single big signal handler function. That way it can never be
set to the wrong thing.
Fixes#5969
When executing a job, if the first process is fish internal, then have
fish claim the job's pgroup.
The idea here is that the terminal must be owned by a pgroup containing
the process reading from the terminal. If the first process is fish
internal (a function or builtin) then the pgroup must contain the fish
process.
This is a bit of a workaround of the behavior where the first process that
executes in a job becomes the process group leader. If there's a deferred
process, then we will execute processes out of order so the pgroup can be
wrong. Fix this by setting the process group leader explicitly as fish
when necessary.
Fixes#5855
This required a bit of thinking.
What we do is we have one test that fakes $HOME, and then we do the
various config tests there.
The fake config we have is reused and we exercise all of the same codepaths.
This prints a green "ok" with the duration, just like the rest of the
tests.
Note that this clashes a bit with
https://github.com/ridiculousfish/littlecheck/pull/3.
(also don't check for python again and again and again)
This is a bit weird sometimes, e.g. to test the return status (that
fish actually *returns $status*), we use a #RUN line with %fish
invoking %fish, so we can use the substitution.
Still much nicer.
The missing scripts are those that rely on config.
Especially as, in this case, the documentation is quite massive.
Caught by porting string's test to littlecheck.
See #3404 - this was already supposed to be included.
This is a nice test (ha!) for how this works and what littlecheck can
do for us.
1. Input is now the actual file, not "Standard Input" anymore. So
any errors mentioning that now include the filename.
2. Regex are really nice for filenames, but especially for line
numbers
3. It's much nicer to have the output where it's created, instead of
needing to follow three files at the same time.
$__fish_git_prompt_use_informative_chars will use the informative
chars without requiring informative mode (which is really frickin'
slow!).

This previously effectively checked `string split ' '`s return status,
which was false if it didn't split anything. And while that should be
true if getent fails (because it should produce no output), it's also
true if it doesn't print a line with multiple aliases. Which should be
fairly typical.
Instead we use our new-found $pipestatus to check what getent returns,
in the assumption that it'll fail if it doesn't support hosts.

25afc9b377 made this unnecessary by
having child processes wait for a signal after fork(), but this change
was later reverted. If we artificially slow down fish (e.g. with a sleep)
after the fork call, we see commands getting backgrounded by mistake.
Put back the tcsetgrp() call.
This was clearly intended for index, but because it was called "fish"
it was overwritten by the "fish" command man page.
I also added the tutorial and faq. Both of those might not be *ideal*

up), but it's better to provide them than not.

This makes test_low_level, test_interactive, test_invocation, and
test_fishscript independent. This allows running a smaller subset of tests.
To prevent all tests running in parallel, we also have new targets
serial_test_low_level, serial_test_interactive, etc. which have the
dependency chain that enforces serial execution.
* Prevent not-yet-loaded functions from loaded when erased
Today, `functions --erase $function` does nothing if the function
hasn't been autoloaded yet.
E.g. run, in an interactive session
> functions --erase ls
> type ls
and be amazed that it still shows our default `ls --color=auto`
wrapper function.
This seems counter-intuitive - removing a function ought to remove it,
whether it had been executed before or not.

Instead of requiring a flag to enable newline trimming, invert it so the
flag (now `--no-trim-newlines`) disables newline trimming. This way our
default behavior matches that of sh's `"$(cmd)"`.
Also change newline trimming to trim all newlines instead of just one,
again to match sh's behavior.
The `string collect` subcommand behaves quite similarly in practice to
`string split0 -m 0` in that it doesn't split its output, but it also
takes an optional `--trim-newline` flag to trim a single trailing
newline off of the output.
See issue #159.
This adds support for .check files inside the tests directory. .check
files are tests designed to be run with littlecheck.
Port printf test to littlecheck and remove the printf.in test.
Our existing .rst files have lines with trailing whitespace in them,
which I can only assume is deliberate, so update the editorconfig to
stop trimming trailing whitespace for these files.
It's always a bit annoying that `*` requires quoting.
So we allow "x" as an alternative, only it needs to be followed by
whitespace to distinguish it from "0x" hexadecimal notation.
To support distinct parsers having different working directories, we need
to keep the working directory alive, and also retain a non-path reference
to it.
Because an exported universal variable must be exported in all variable
stacks, explicit invalidation is infeasible. Switch the universal variables
to a generation count.
Prior to this fix, fish would invalidate the exported variable list
whenever an exported variable changes. However we soon will not have a
single "exported variable list." If a global variable changes, it is
infeasible to find all exported variable lists and invalidate them.
Switch to a new model where we store a list of generation counts. Every
time an exported variable changes, the node gets a new generation. If the
current generation list does not match the cached one, then we know that
our exported variable list is stale.
We also might want to remove the mailing list and/or IRC channel as I
think most devs aren't on them anymore, but let's just add the channel
that I prefer first.

This was undocumented, not all that useful and potentially unwanted.
In particular it means that things like
mysql -p(read)
will still keep the password in history.
Also it allows us to simply implement asking for the history deletion
term.
See #5791.
This makes the following changes:
1. Events in background threads are executed in those threads, instead of
being silently dropped
2. Blocked events are now per-parser instead of global
3. Events are posted in builtin_set instead of within the environment stack
The last one means that we no longer support event handlers for implicit
sets like (example) argv. Instead only the `set` builtin (and also `cd`)
post variable-change events.
Events from universal variable changes are still not fully rationalized.
This cuts down on the wcs2string here by ~25%.
The better solution would be to cache narrow versions of $PATH, since
we compute that over and over and over and over again, while it rarely changes.
Or we could add a full path-cache (where which command is), but that's
much harder to invalidate.
See #5905.
This sets the explicit path to the default one, which should be okay,
since the default path never changes (not even if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
does).
Then it saves a narrow version of that, which saves most of the time
needed to `sync` in most cases.
Fixes#5905.
Note that this isn't technically *w*util, but the differences between
the functions are basically just whether they do the wcs2string
themselves or not.
This fixes a race condition in the topic monitor. A thread may decide to
enter the wait queue, but before it does the generation list changes, and
so our thread will wait forever, resulting in a hang.
It also simplifies the implementation of the topic monitor considerably;
on reflection the whole "metagen" thing isn't providing any value and we
should just compare generations directly.
In the new design, we have a lock-protected list of current generations,
along with a boolean as to whether someone is reading from the pipe. The
reader (only one at a time) is responsible for broadcasting notifications
via a condition variable.
3.x has changed enough that knowing whether it's working in 2.7.x
doesn't help all that much anymore.
There've been 3222 commits since 2.7.1, which is about a third of the

Not -Werror, just the warnings themselves.
Let's just see what happens. It's warning-free on my system.
Worst case we disable it again, better case we refine the set.
The enum starts at 0 (defined to be!), so we can eliminate this one.
That allows us to remove a reliance on the position of
beginning_of_line, and it would trigger a "type-limits" warning.
Also leave a comment because I actually hit that.
Someone has hit the 10MiB limit (and of course it's the number of
javascript packages), and we don't handle it fantastically currently.
And even though you can't pass a variable of that size in one go, it's
plausible that someone might do it in multiple passes.
See #5267.
If you changed $__fish_git_prompt_show_informative_status, it
triggered a variable handler, which erased the chars, but neglected to
unset $___fish_git_prompt_init, so we just kept chugging along with
empty characters.

This widens the remaining ones that don't take a char
anywhere.
The rest either use a char _variable_ or __FUNCTION__, which from my
reading is narrow and needs to be widened manually. I've been unable
to test it, though.
See #5900.
This solves the main part of (careful linebreak)
issue #5900.
I'm betting all the errors that do use narrow IO are broken, including
a bunch of asserts.
This is roughly in order of importance.

This adds a new mechanism for logging, intended to replace debug().
The entry points are FLOG and FLOGF. FLOG can be used to log a sequence of
arguments, FLOGF is for printf-style formatted strings.
Each call to FLOG and FLOGF requires a category. If logging for a category
is not enabled, there is no effect (and arguments are not evaluated).
Categories may be enabled on the command line via the -d option.
This way we use our core file completion code, which is much more
flexible than we can easily achieve directly in script (which would
require e.g. an `expand` builtin, and case-insensitive globs).
Fixes#5896.
Now that our interactive signal handlers are a strict superset of
non-interactive ones, there is no reason to "reset" signals or take action
when becoming non-interactive. Clean up how signal handlers get installed.
The signal handlers for interactive and non-interactive SIGINT were distinct
and talked to the reader. This wasn't really justified and will complicate
having multiple threads. Unify these into a single signal handler.
is_interactive_read is a suspicious flag which prevents a call to
parser_t::skip_all_blocks from a ^C signal handler. However we end
up skipping the blocks later when we exit the read loop.
This flag seems unnecessary. Bravely remove it.
When setting a variable without a specified scope, we should give priority
to an existing local or global above an existing universal variable with
the same name.
In 16fd780484 there was a regression that
made universal variables have priority.

This displays a colored prompt, which we emulate by adding explicit
roles that are translated to css classes.
For other things, like "eror" this might not be enough because those
often need the rest of the line to still be styled, and I've not found
a way to add some explicit styling to a code block.

Otherwise we'd undo the history search when you press e.g. execute,

This mainly is conceptually a bit simpler. The comment about making it
cheaper is entirely misplaced since this is quite far away from being
important.
Even expanding 1000 abbrs, it doesn't show up in the profile.
This was, under some circumstances, apparently off by one.
If a suggestion was really long, like
```fish
infocmp | string split , | string trim | string match -re . | while read -d = -l key val; test -z "$val"; and continue; string match -q '*%*' -- $val; and continue; test (string replace -ra '\e([\[\]]|\(B).*[\comJKsu]' '' -- a(tput $key)b) = ab; or echo $key $val; end > xterm
```
(I'm assuming longer than $COLUMNS), it would staircase like with a wrong wcwidth.
This reverts commit 15a5c0ed5f.
I noticed my debug output for 24bit color mode was garbled due to
this being wrong. I spent a little time trying to get the compiler
to tell us about these, but -Wformat doesn't do anything for wchar
printf functions, and __attribute__((format(printf, n, m))) will
cause an error with wchar_t's, so I gave up and decided to manually
check out every '%s' in the entire project. I found (only) one
more.
debug(0, "%s", wchars) will report warnings for incorrect
specifiers but debug(0, L"%s", wchars) is unable. Thus there may
be reason to prefer not using L"..." as an argument if all else
is equal and it's not necessary.
Allows `fish_indent -w **.fish` to restyle all fish files under the
current directory.
(This also has the sideeffect of reducing style.fish time by ~10s, as
we only need to invoke `fish_indent` once, instead of once per-file)
Blocks will soon need to be shared across parsers. Migrate the loop status
(like break or continue) from the block into the libdata. It turns out we
only ever need one, we don't need to track this per-block.
Make it an enum class.
Brace expansion with single words in it is quite useless - `HEAD@{0}`
expanding to `HEAD@0` breaks git.
So we complicate the rule slightly - if there is no variable expansion
or "," inside of braces, they are just treated as literal braces.
Note that this is technically backwards-incompatible, because
echo foo{0}
will now print `foo{0}` instead of `foo0`. However that's a
technicality because the braces were literally useless in that case.
Our tests needed to be adjusted, but that's because they are meant to
exercise this in weird ways.
I don't believe this will break any code in practice.
Fixes#5869.
Prior to this fix, a function_block stored a process_t, which was only used
when printing backtraces. Switch this to an array of arguments, and make
various other cleanups around null terminated argument arrays.
We previously checked if fish_mode_prompt existed as a function, but
that's a bad change for those who already set it to an empty function
to have a mode display elsewhere.
Updated widechar_width takes care of it.
Technically, this does ~3 comparisons more per-character (because it
checks variation selectors and such), but that shouldn't really matter.
get_current_winsize() is intended to be lazy. It does the following:
1. Gets the termsize from the kernel
2. Compares it against the current value
3. If changed, sets COLUMNS and LINES variables
Upon setting these variables, we notice that the termsize has changed
and invalidate the termsize. Thus we were doing this work multiple times
on every screen repaint.
Put back an old hack that just marked the termsize as valid at the end
of get_current_winsize().
This just sets some special characters that we use in the reader, so
it only needs to be done before the reader is set up.
Which, as it stands, is in env_init().
This stops trying to see if the previous line is wider if it is a
prefix of the current one.
Which turns out to be true often enough that it's a net benefit.
This passes character width as an argument for a few functions.
In particular, it hardcodes a width of "1" for a space literal.
There's no reason to compute wcwidth for the length of the prompt.
This measured *all* the characters on the commandline, and saved all
of them in another wcstring_list_t, just to then do... nothing with
that info.
Also, it did wcslen for something that we already have as wcstring,
reserved a vector and did a bunch of work for autosuggestions that
isn't necessary if we have more than one line.
Instead, we do what we need, which is to figure out if we are
multiline and how wide the first line is.
Fixes#5866.
line_shared_prefix explains in its comment that
> If the prefix ends on a combining character, do not include the
previous character in the prefix.
But that's not what it does.
Instead, what it appears to do is to return idx for *every* combining
mark. This seems wrong to begin with, and it also requires checking
wcwidth for *every* character.
So instead we don't do that. If we find the mismatch, we check if it's
a combining mark, and then go back to the previous character (i.e. the
one before the one that the combining mark is for).
My tests found no issues with this, other than a 20% reduction in
pasting time.
The old commit #3f820f0 "Disable ONLCR mapping of NL output to CR-NL"
incorrectly used c_iflag instead of c_oflag, and I copied that error
in my patch. Fixed that. However, there seems to be other problems
trying to use "\x1B[A", which I have not tried to debug, so comment that out.
(However, #3f820f0 seems to mostly work if we fix it to use c_oflag.)
This read something like `o=!_validate_int`, and the flag modifier
reading kept the pointer after the `!`, so it created a long flag
called `_validate_int`, which meant it would not only error out form
```fish
argparse 'i=!_validate_int' 'o=!_validate_int' -- $argv
```
with "Long flag '_validate_int' already defined", but also set
$_flag_validate_int.

This was quite famously rather complicated.
We drop a bunch of cases - we can't handle tmux-starting-terminals
100% accurately, so we just don't try. It should be quite rare that
somebody starts a different terminal from tmux.
We drop the `tput` since it is useless (like terminfo in general for
feature-detection, because everyone claims to be xterm).
So we just check if we are in konsole, iTerm, vte or genuine-xterm.
Fixes#3696.

As mentioned in #2900, something like
```fish
test -n "$var"; and set -l foo $var

is sufficiently idiomatic that it should be allowable.
Also fixes some additional weirdness with semicolons.
This runs build_tools/style.fish, which runs clang-format on C++, fish_indent on fish and (new) black on python.
If anything is wrong with the formatting, we should fix the tools, but automated formatting is worth it.
This removes semicolons at the end of the line and collapses
consecutive ones, while replacing meaningful semicolons with newlines.

becomes

This keeps all unknown options in $argv, so
```fish
argparse -i a/alpha -- -a banana -o val -w
```
results in $_flag_a set to banana, and $argv set to `-o val -w`.
This allows users to use multiple argparse passes, or to simply avoid
specifying all options e.g. in completions - `systemctl` has 46 of
them, most not having any effect on the completions.
Fixes#5367.
This cleans up how functions are stored and autoloaded. It eliminates the
recursive lock. Instead there is a single normal owning_lock that protects
the entirety of the function data. Autoloading is re-implemented via the
new autoloader_t.
autoloader_t will be the reimplementation of autoloading. Crucically it no
longer manages any locking or loading itself; instead all locking and loading
is performed by clients. This makes it easier to test and helps limit its
responsibilities.
autoloading has a "feature" where functions are removed in an LRU-fashion.
But there's hardly any benefit in removing autoloaded functions. Just stop
doing it.
* Add speedtest-cli/speedtest completion

This is a long-standing issue with how `complete --do-complete` does
its argument parsing: It takes an optional argument, so it has to be
attached to the token like `complete --do-complete=foo` or (worse)
`complete -Cfoo`.
But since `complete` doesn't take any bare arguments otherwise (it
would error with "too many arguments" if you did `complete -C foo`) we
can just take one free argument as the argument to `--do-complete`.
It's more of a command than an option anyway, since it entirely
changes what the `complete` call _does_.
This command can be used to "`cat`" the contents of `$path` as of `$rev`.
These are "silent" completions, e.g. while this adds a completion for
`git show master:foo`, the completions for `git show <TAB>` are not
affected; these "advanced" completions kick in only after at least
`git show master:<TAB>` to prevent completion pollution or slowing down
tab completions in the typical case (as this would cause each valid and
possibly unique $rev completion result to complete to `n*$rev`
completions for *n* files.

* Some comment fixes and renaming of is_iterm2_escape_seq.
The comment for is_iterm2_escape_seq incorrectly says "CSI followed by ]".
This is wrong, because CSI is ESC followed by [ (or the seldom-used 0x9b).
The procedure actually matches Operating System Command (OSC) escape codes.

This was added in 04a96f6 but not strictly required to fix#5803
(verified), with the intention of hiding invisible background jobs

I'm thinking it can't be done without keeping track of caller context vs
job context.

env_scoped_t lives between environment_t and env_stack_t.
It represents the read-only logic of env_stack_t and will be used to back
the new environment snapshot implementation.
These tests used raw, unescaped parentheses to perform `test` logical
grouping, but the test failures weren't caught because the parser
evaluation errors were not being propagated (fixed in bdbd173e).
It was unconditionally returning `parse_execution_success`. This was
causing certain parser errors to incorrectly return after evaluation
with `$status` equal to `0`, as reported after `eval`, `source`, or
sub-`fish` execution.
Prior to this change, fish used a global flag to decide if we should check
for changes to universal variables. This flag was then checked at arbitrary
locations, potentially triggering variable updates and event handlers for
those updates; this was very hard to reason about.
Switch to triggering a universal variable update at a fixed location,
after running an external command. The common case is that the variable
file has not changed, which we can identify with just a stat() call, so
this is pretty cheap.
This reverts commit cdce8511a1.
This change was unsafe. The prior version (now restored) took the lock and
then copied the data. By returning a reference, the caller holds a
reference to data outside of the lock.
This function isn't worth optimizing. Hardly any functions use this
facility, and for those that do, they typically just capture one or two
variables.
* Convert `function_get_inherit_vars()` to return a reference to the
(possibly) existing map, rather than a copy;
* Preallocate and reuse a static (read-only) map for the (very) common
case of no inherited vars;
* Pass references to the inherit vars map around thereafter, never
triggering the map copy (or even move) constructor.
NB: If it turns out the reference is unsafe, we can switch the inherit vars
to be a shared_ptr and return that instead.
Universal newlines behaves differently between Python 2.7 and 3.x,
leading to problems when running Sphinx with Python 2.7.
fish_indent always uses \n, so there's no need to use universal newline

This also allows full UTF-8 in documentation sources.

I did not realize builtins could safely call into the parser and inject
jobs during execution. This is much cleaner than hacking around the

`eval` has always been implemented as a function, which was always a bit
of a hack that caused some issues such as triggering the creation of a
new scope. This turns `eval` into a decorator.
The scoping issues with eval prevented it from being usable to actually
implement other shell components in fish script, such as the problems
described in #4442, which should now no longer be the case.
Closes#4443.
While `eval` is still a function, this paves the way for changing that
in the future, and lets the proc/exec functions detect when an eval is
used to allow/disallow certain behaviors and optimizations.
This adds an option --print-rusage-self to the fish executable. When set,
this option prints some getrusage stats to the console in a human-readable

Doing it in the parser meant only top-level jobs would be reaped after
being `disown`ed, as subjobs aren't directly handled by the parser.
This is also much cleaner, as now job removal is centralized in
`process_clean_after_marking()`.
Closes#5803.
This prevents the `disown` builtin from directly removing jobs out of
the jobs list to prevent sanity issues, as `disown` may be called within
the context of a subjob (e.g. in a function or block) in which case the
parent job might not yet be done with the reference to the child job.
Instead, a flag is set and the parser removes the job from the list only
after the entire execution chain has completed.
Closes#5720.
This lets non-developers simply `cd` into the fish source directory and
execute `make` to build the project. The Makefile searches for CMake and
hands over the build to it if it is available, otherwise an error
message is emitted. All dependency checking is left to CMake.
Non-fish-devs shouldn't have to concern themselves with what build
system fish developers have chosen, and building a random C++ project
should not be a chore in familiarizing one's self with all the various
build platforms out there.
CMake is instructed to use `ninja` if it is available, otherwise the
standard Unix Makefiles generator option is used.
(This has already been the behavior on BSDs since CMake was adopted.)
There's an explicit label for "cartesian-product", but the title is

This merges a bunch of changes that migrate logic from env.cpp to a new file
env_dispatch.cpp. env_dispatch is concerned with dispatching changes to
variables, while env.cpp is the "core."
When popping a scope from the environment stack, we currently do a lot of
nonsense like looking for changed curses variables. We want to centralize
this in env_stack_t so that it can be migrated to the env_dispatch logic.
Move this logic up one level in preparation for doing that.
This new file is supposed to encapsulate all of the logic around
reacting to variable changes, as opposed to the environment core.
This is to help break up the env.cpp monolith.
Prior to this fix, a job would only inherit a pgrp from its parent if the
first command were external. There seems to be no reason for this
restriction and this causes tcsetgrp() churn, potentially cuasing SIGTTIN.
Switch to unconditionally inheriting a pgrp from parents.
This should fix most of #5765, the only remaining question is
tcsetpgrp from builtins.
Prior to this fix, in every call to job_continue, fish would reclaim the
foreground pgrp. This would cause other jobs in the pipeline (which may
have another pgrp) to receive SIGTTIN / SIGTTOU.
Only reclaim the foreground pgrp if it was held at the point of job_continue.
This partially addresses #5765
In tests we would like to arrange for an executable to invoke certain
system calls, e.g. to claim or relinquish control of the terminal. This is
annoying to do portably via e.g. perl. fish_test_helper is a little
program where we can add custom commands to make it act in certain ways.
This adds a reference to one specific FAQ, so it adds a label for that

We don't refer to "readline functions" anywhere else, and "injecting"
them "into the reader" is an overly jargony way of expressing it that
only makes sense to someone familiar with the internals. And even then
the term "readline" is already taken by the "readline" library, used
by bash et al, but not by us.
So we pick the term "input functions", like we did in bind.

This set the term modes to the shell-modes, including disabling
ICRNL (translating \cm to \cj) and echo.
The rationale given was that `reader_interactive_init()` would only be
called >= 250ms later, which I _highly_ doubt considering fish's total
startup time is 8ms for me.
The main idea was that this would stop programs like tmuxinator that
send shortcuts early from failing _iff_ the shortcut was \cj, which
also seems quite unusual.
This works both with `rm -i` and `read` in config.fish, because `read`
explicitly calls `reader_push`, which then initializes the shell modes.
The real fix would involve reordering our init so we set up the
modesetting first, but that's quite involved and the remaining issue
should barely happen, while it's fairly common to have issues with a
prompt in config.fish, and the workaround for the former is simpler, so let's leave it for now.

out of a PWD containing a symlink in its hierarchy and when run
otherwise.
Putting larger members before smaller ones will reduce structure
sizes. bools are 1 byte. on 64bit systems I think they reduced:
wgetopt.h:46: 64 to 56 bytes
builtin_history.cpp:30: 48 to 32 bytes
builtin_status.cpp:91: 32 to 24 bytes
tinyexpr.cpp:69: 40 to 32 bytes
The data stored in these containers is small enough that it is worth
creating distinct sets for each lookup.
In a microbenchmark of these changes, the single-lookup version of the
function with lookups gated on the length of input (bypassed entirely if
the input is longer than the longest key in the container) provided a
1.5x-3.5x speedup over the previous implementation.
Additionally, as the collections are static and their contents are never
modified after startup, it makes no sense to continously calculate the
location of and allocate an iterator for the `!= foo.end()` comparison;
the end iterator is now statically cached.
I'm not expecting massive speed gains out of this change, but the parser
does perform enough of these to make it worth optimizing in this way.
This reverts commit 7a74198aa3.
Believe it or not this commit actually increased copying. When accepting
a value you know you're going to take ownership of, just accept it by
value; then temporaries can invoke the move ctor and blah blah blah.
We really need a lightweight refcounted pass-by-value string to make this
less error prone.
If we switch the bind mode, we add a "force-repaint" there just to
redraw the mode indicator.
That's quite wasteful and annoying, considering that sometimes the prompt can take
half a second.
So we add a "repaint-mode" function that just reexecutes the
mode-prompt and uses the cached values for the others.
Fixes#5783.
As it turns out it didn't work much better, and it fell behind in
support when it comes to things that wcwidth traditionally can't
express like variation selectors and hangul combining characters, but
also simply $fish_*_width.
I've had to tell a few people now to rebuild with widecharwidth after
sending them on a fool's errand to set X variable.
So keeping this option is doing our users a disservice.
* Add "expand-abbr" bind function
This can be used to explictly allow expanding abbreviations.

We no longer trigger an abbr implicitly, so we can remove the code
that does it.

The final test in `realpath.in` was based on the no-longer-valid
assumption that $PWD cannot be a symlink. Since the recent changes in
fish 3.0 to allow `cd`ing into "virtual" directories preserving symlinks
as-is, when `make test` was run from a path that contained a symlink
component, this test would fail the `pwd-resolved-to-itself` check.
As the test is not designed to initialize then cd into an absolute path
guaranteed to not be symbolic, so this final check is just wrong.
Directly access the job list without the intermediate job_iterator_t,
and remove functions that are ripe for abuse by modifying a local
enumeration of the same list instead of operating on the iterators
directly (e.g. proc.cpp iterates jobs, and mid-iteration calls
parser::job_remove(j) with the job (and not the iterator to the job),
causing an invisible invalidation of the pre-existing local iterators.
This has been driving nuts for years. The output of the diff emitted
when a test fails was always reversed, because the diff tool is called
with `${difftool} ${new} ${old}` so all the `-` and `+` contexts are
reversed, and the highlights are all screwed up.
The output of a `make test` run should show what has changed from the
baseline/expected, not how the expected differs from the actual. When
considered from both the perspective of intentional changes to the test
outputs and failed test outputs, it is desirable to see how the test
output has changed from the previously expected, and not the other way
around.
(If you were used to the previous behavior, I apologize. But it was
wrong.)
It's not _perfect_, but should hopefully ease the introduction a
teensy bit.
We use `timedatectl` because it's a reasonably simple command that

This printed weird things like

Instead, let's make it

This was printed basically everywhere.
The user knows what they executed on standard input.
A good example:

set -l x (string repeat -n $argv x)
^
in function 'subme'

This switches env_var_t to be an immutable value type, and stores its

If a function process is deferred, allow it to be unbuffered.
This permits certain simple cases where functions are piped to external
commands to execute without buffering.
This is a somewhat-hacky stopgap measure that can't really be extended
to more general concurrent processes. However it is overall an improvement
in user experience that might help flush out some bugs too.
In a job, a deferred process is the last fish internal process which pipes
to an external command. Execute the deferred process last; this will allow
for streaming its output.
This searched for package.json in any parent, so just like finding
.git and .hg directories it _needs_ to use the physical pwd because
that's what git/hg/yarn use.
In general, if you do _any_ logic on $PWD, it should be the physical
path. Logical $PWD is basically only good for display and cd-ing
around with symlinks.

This merges a bunch of changes that clean up how the reader loop and input
works.
Prior to this fix, we abused wchar_t by cramming readline functions into
"private" regions. Readline functions then were further abused with
meta-readline functions like R_NULL or R_TIMEOUT.
This fix introduces a new type char_event_type_t which wraps up the "meta"
character types. A char event may be a null (try again), timeout, readline,
or real input character. These are all distinct values.
The reader loop is then refactored to handle these cases separately.
I believe this was selected to be artificially low for the sake
of it displaying well in prompts. But people should expect to get
the same output as can be gotten from `hostname`.
Fixes#5758
This called `eval $fish_browser --version` to figure out if it is
lynx.
That's really not worth it just to support edge-cases using a rather
unusual browser, to work around a bug in it.
Instead we just see if the browser name starts with "lynx", which
should work in 99.9% of cases.
This merges in a number of improvements specifically aimed at console
sessions (i.e. using fish at the tty, not over SSH or in an X-based
terminal emulator). When a console session is detected, the system
wcwidth is used to line up width info between fish and the system tty,
and only simple characters are used as symbols.
Tested under Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, Cygwin, WSL, and others.
Closes#5552. Ref #789, #3672.
The code already allowed for variable width (multicell) *display* of the
newline omitted character, but there was no way to define it as being
more than one `wchar_t`.
This lets us use a string on console sessions (^J aka newline feed)
instead of an ambiguous character like `@` (used in some versions of
vim for ^M) or `~` (what we were using).
The system version of `wcwidth()` reflects the capabilities of the
system's own virtual terminal's view of the width of the character in
question, while fish's enhanced version (`widechar_wcwidth`) is much too
smart for most login terminals, which generally barely support anything
beyond ASCII text.
If, at startup, it is detected that we are running under a physical
console rather than within a terminal emulator running in a desktop
environment, take that as a hint to use the system-provided `wcwidth`.
The commit began passing the length of the wide string rather than the
length of the narrowed string after conversion via `wcstombs`. We *do*
have the actual length, but it's not (necessarily) the same as the
original value. We need to pass the result of `wcstombs` instead.
This created another local version of the variable just for the if-block.
Can't say I love the space prefix, but then I think we have too many
of these modes anyway.
If you use these to figure out if there _are_ staged files, or dirty
or whatever, you currently need to check the output, which relies on
the configured character.
Instead, we let them also return a useful status.
Notably, this is *not* simply the status of the git call.
__fish_git_prompt_X returns 0 if the repo is X.
This works for untracked, but the "diff" things return 1 if there is a
diff, so we invert the status for them.
See #5748.

POSIX dictates here that incomplete conversions, like in
printf %d\n 15.2
or
printf %d 14g
are still printed along with any error.
This seems alright, as it allows users to silence stderr to accept incomplete conversions.
This commit implements it, but what's a bit weird is the ordering between stdout and stderr,
causing the error to be printed _after_, like
15
14
15.1: value not completely converted
14,2: value not completely converted
but that seems like a general issue with how we buffer the streams.
(I know that nonfatal_error is a copy of most of fatal_error - I tried

Before this change, - was sorted with other punctuation before
A-Z. Now, it sorts above the rest of the characters.
This has a practical effect on completions, where when there are
both -s and --long with the same description, the short option
is now before the long option in the pager, which is what is now
selected when navigating `foo -<TAB>`. The long options can be
picked out with `foo --<TAB>`. Before, short options which
duplicated a long option literally could not be selected by
any means from the pager.
Fixes#5634
This tweaks wcsfilecmp such that certain punctuation characters will
come after A-Z.
A big win with `set <TAB>` - the __prefixed fish junk now comes

This disables an extra round of escaping in the `string replace -r`
replacement string.
Currently, to add a backslash to an a or b (to "escape" it):
string replace -ra '([ab])' '\\\\\\\$1' a
7 backslashes!
This removes one of the layers, so now 3 or 4 works (each one escaped
for the single-quotes, so pcre receives two, which it reads as one literal):
string replace -ra '([ab])' '\\\\$1' a
This is backwards-incompatible as replacement strings will change
meaning, so we put it behind a feature flag.
The name is kinda crappy, though.
Fixes#5474.
As a simple replacement for `wc -l`.
This counts both lines on stdin _and_ arguments.
So if "file" has three lines, then `count a b c < file` will print 6.
And since it counts newlines, like wc, `echo -n foo | count` prints 0.
Mostly related to usage _(L"foo"), keeping in mind the _
macro does a wcstring().c_str() already.
And a smattering of other trivial micro-optimizations certain
to not help tangibly.
This should be the last call to `grep` outside of a script

C++11 provides std::min/std::max which we're using all over,
obviating the need for our own templates for this.
util.h now only provides two things: get_time and wcsfilecmp.
This commit removes everything that includes it which doesn't
use either; most because they no longer need mini or maxi from
it but some others were #including it unnecessarily.
Hangul uses three codepoints to combine to one glyph. The first has a
width of 2 (like the final glyph), but the second and third were
assigned a width of 1, which seems to match EastAsianWidth.txt:
> 1160..11FF;N # Lo [160] HANGUL JUNGSEONG FILLER..HANGUL JONGSEONG SSANGNIEUN
Instead, we override that and treat the middle and end codepoint as combiners,
always, because there's no way to figure out what the terminal will
think and that's the way it's supposed to work.
If they stand by themselves or in another combination, they'll indeed
show up with a width of 1 so we'll get it wrong, but that's less
likely and not expressible with wcwidth().

job_exit handlers show the job id. It was falling

Also prevents file completions where they are not approprite, and

Apparently if you install gnu coreutils on OpenBSD, the tools are

This tried to skip conversion if the locale had MB_CUR_MAX == 1, but

Since Unicode 9, the width of some characters changed to 2.
Depending on the system, it might have support for it, or it might
not.
Instead of hardcoding specific glibc etc versions, we check what the
system wcwidth says to "😃", U+1F603 "Grinning Face With Big Eyes".
The intention is to, in most cases, make setting $fish_emoji_width
unnecessary, but since it sets the "guessed_emoji_width", that variable still takes precedence if it is set.
Unfortunately this approach has some caveats:
- It relies on the locale being set to a unicode-supporting one.
(C.UTF-8 is unfortunately not standard, so we can't use it)
- It relies on the terminal's wcwidth having unicode9 support IFF the
system wcwidth does.
This is like #5722, but at runtime.
The additional caveat is that we don't try to achieve a unicode
locale, but since we re-run the heuristic when the locale changes (and
we try to get a unicode locale), we should still often get the correct
value.
Plus if you use a C locale and your terminal still displays emoji,
you've misconfigured your system.
Fixes#5722.
These aren't perfect, but the tool is pretty much hostile to proper

`ipset list --name` is a privileged operation, and it prints an
"Operation not permitted" error when done as a normal user.
What's worse, this did it on loading (the command substitution wasn't
quoted), so we'd print the error as soon as you did `ipset `.
Only do the operation when necessary, and don't print the error.
This'll effectively only make it work for root shells (not e.g. `sudo
ipset`), but I don't want to sprinkle `sudo` in the completion.
(Also why does listing stuff require root? That's not how it works
e.g. for ips. But I don't actually know what ipset is for, so maybe
there is a good reason.)

Prior to this fix, the wait command used waitpid() directly. Switch it to
calling process_mark_finished_children() along with the rest of the job
machinery. This centralizes the waitpid call to a single location.
It turns out that `string split0` didn't actually ever do any
splitting. The arg_iterator_t already split stdin on NUL, and split0 just
performed an additional search that could never succeed (since
arguments from argv already can't contain NUL).
Let the arg_iterator_t not perform any splitting if asked, and then
let split0 split in 0.
One slight wart is that split0 ignores a trailing NUL, which normal
split doesn't.
Fixes#5701.
That seems suspect.
It removes files starting with "# Autogenerated", but those files

This is another case where we used pid when we meant pgroup.
Since 55b3c45f95, the assumption that
both are the same no longer holds in all cases, so this check was wrong.
Might fix#5663.
In fish we play fast and loose with status codes as set directly (e.g. on
failed redirections), vs status codes returned from waitpid(), versus the
value $status. Introduce a new value type proc_status_t to encapsulate
this logic.
This used "argparse" to parse the args, which broke since CXXFLAGS
contained options.
Instead we pass "--all" before any other arguments, and then stop
argparse at nonoptions.
A key frustration with the prior version of mkvextract completions was
that even in a position where a filename would be expected, no
completions for a filename were offered. This update introduces more
rigorous argument handling, most importantly restricting
track/attachment completion to when both a mode and a file are
specified.
For some reason Ubuntu's version of screen includes timestamps in the

Now Sphinx is my best friend
This switches the docs to build with Sphinx instead of Doxygen.
There's a lot remaining to do: see #5696. However it is painful to mirror
docs changes from Doxygen to Sphinx, so it is better to switch over now
even in this incomplete state.
The last Doxygen build is tagged as 'last_doxygen'
Closes#5640
sphinx expects that the description for a command (as appearing in its man
page) be provided in conf.py, not in the rst file itself. LLVM handles this
with some custom Python code that parses it out of the file. Do the same
thing in fish.
fish's signal handlers are now sufficiently innocuous that there should
be no reason to block signals (outside of temporarily, when creating a
thread and we need to manipulate the signal mask).
Prior to this fix, an "event" was used as both a predicate on which events
to match, and also as the event itself. Re-express these concepts
distinctly: an event is something that happened, an event_handler is the
predicate and name of the function to execute.
Prior to this fix, fish had a signal_list_t that accumulated signals.
Signals were added to an array of integers, with an overflow flag.
The event machinery would attempt to atomically "swap in" the other list.
After this fix, there is a single list of pending signal events, as an array
of atomic booleans. The signal handler sets the boolean corresponding to its
signal.
In a galaxy far, far away, event_blockage_t was intended to block only cetain
events. But it always just blocked everything. Eliminate the event block
mask.
Arch changed the version string to include the package rel, so it
looks like
systemd 241 (241.7-2-arch)

As it turns out, NetBSD's rand(3) is awful - it's possible that in any

Since random(3) is also standardized and works, let's use that!
This commit merges support for a new event publishing mechanism
"topic_monitor" that allow for waiting on multiple event types. It then
replaces waitpid() logic inside `process_mark_finished_children` with new
and simpler logic built around this mechanims. Lastly it migrates the
builtin and function output from processes to background threads.
Now that we use an internal process to perform builtin output, simplify the
logic around how it is performed. In particular we no longer have to be
careful about async-safe functions since we do not fork.
Also fix a bunch of comments that no longer apply.
This uses the new internal process mechanism to write output for builtins.
After this the only reason fish ever forks is to execute external processes.
This introduces "internal processes" which are backed by a pthread instead
of a normal process. Internal processes are reaped using the topic
machinery, plugging in neatly alongside the sigchld topic; this means that
process_mark_finished_children() can wait for internal and external
processes simultaneously.
Initially internal processes replace the forked process that fish uses to
write out the output of blocks and functions.
This adds an "in-process" interpretation of dup2s, allowing for fish to
output directly to the correct file descriptor without having to perform
an in-kernel dup2 sequence.
The sigchld generation expresses the idea that, if we receive a sigchld
signal, the generation will be different than when we last recorded it. A
process cannot exit before it has launched, so check the generation count
before process launch. This is an optimization that reduces failing
waitpid calls.
This is a big change to how process reaping works, reimplenting it using
topics. The idea is to simplify the logic in
process_mark_finished_children around blocking, and also prepare for
"internal processes" which do not correspond to real processes.
Before this change, fish would use waitpid() to wait for a process group,
OR would individually poll processes if the process group leader was
unreapable.
After this change, fish no longer ever calls blocking waitpid(). Instead
fish uses the topic mechanism. For each reapable process, fish checks if
it has received a SIGCHLD since last poll; if not it waits until the next
SIGCHLD, and then polls them all.
topic_monitor allows for querying changes posted to one or more topics,
initially sigchld. This will eventually replace the waitpid logic in
process_mark_finished_children().
Comment from the new header:
Topic monitoring support. Topics are conceptually "a thing that can
happen." For example, delivery of a SIGINT, a child process exits, etc. It
is possible to post to a topic, which means that that thing happened.
Associated with each topic is a current generation, which is a 64 bit
value. When you query a topic, you get back a generation. If on the next
query the generation has increased, then it indicates someone posted to
the topic.
For example, if you are monitoring a child process, you can query the
sigchld topic. If it has increased since your last query, it is possible
that your child process has exited.
Topic postings may be coalesced. That is there may be two posts to a given
topic, yet the generation only increases by 1. The only guarantee is that
after a topic post, the current generation value is larger than any value
previously queried.
Tying this all together is the topic_monitor_t. This provides the current
topic generations, and also provides the ability to perform a blocking
wait for any topic to change in a particular topic set. This is the real
power of topics: you can wait for a sigchld signal OR a thread exit.
Changes according to the feedback have been made:
- What is a shell section has been moved before Installation and Start section
- Content changes have been made as suggested in both of the above sections.
Just a bunch of rewriting descriptions and some arguments.

This resolves the issue where running pre-compiled Linux packages from
binary package manager repositories lead fish to think that we are not
running under WSL.

NetBSD's man is unusual in that it doesn't understand an empty
$MANPATH component as "the system man path", and doesn't have a
`manpath` or `man --path`.
It has a `-m` option that would be useful, but other mans also have a
`-m` option that isn't, so detecting it is tough.
It does have a `-p` option that almost does what one would want here,
so we hack around it to make things work.
Fixes#5657.

This happens on OpenIndiana/Solaris/Illumos/SunOS.
Elsewhere we use read_blocked, which already returned in this
case (and which we might want to use here as well!).
On some systems, this sometimes uses unicode quotation marks.
Not on mine, but on Travis it does.
The only other workaround I can think of is setting locale to C, but
that implies not being able to test anything unicode-related in the
entire invocation tests.
So for now disable this test.
It turns out the default gettext on the sunny operating system with
the many names interprets at least `\n` itself, so we'd end up
swallowing it.
This allows us to move past the interactive tests and onto the expect
ones.
See #5472.
Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS/Solaris has an rm/rmdir that tries to
protect the user by not allowing them to delete $PWD.
Normally, this would be a good thing as deleting $PWD is a stupid
thing to do. Except in this case, we absolutely need to do that.
So instead we weasel around it by invoking an sh to cd out of the
directory to then invoke an `rmdir` to delete it. That should throw
off any attempts at protection (we could also have tried $PWD/. or
similar, but that's possibly still protected against).
This is the last failing test on
Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS/Solaris/afunnyquip, so:
Fixes#5472.
This tested #1728, where redirecting a directory (`begin; something;
end < .`) would cause `status` to misbehave.
Unfortunately, on Illumos/OpenIndiana/SunOS, this returns a different
error (EINVAL instead of EISDIR), so we can't check that with our test harness, because
we can't redirect it.
Since it's not important that this gives the same error across
systems (and indeed we provide no way of intercepting the error!),
use an invocation test instead, because that allows different output per-uname.
See #5472.
Matches upstream path_helper which is invoked in /etc/profile and only
applies to login shells. Enables running interactive, non-login shells
with altered PATH values.
Reverts change in c0f832a7, which reverts change in adbaddf.
`fish_title` as invoked by fish itself is not running in an interactive
context, and attempts to read from the input fd (e.g. via `read`) cause
fish to segfault, go into an infinite loop, or hang at the read prompt
depending on the exact command line and fish version.
This patch addresses that by explicitly closing the input fd when
invoking `fish_title`.
Reported by @floam in #5629. May close that issue, but situation is
unclear.
These are files with staged modifications, and additional unstaged
ones.
In practice what happened was that you ran
git add somefile
then editted it some more and tried to
git add <TAB>
which didn't offer it anymore.
Now, we offer it if either modified or modified-staged is set.
Currently modified-staged isn't ever set alone, but through
all-staged, so we still need to keep offering the file then.
(This shows that the current switch/case might have some holes)

Taking advantage of the maybe_t's, the logic and nesting here
can be a bit less intense.
Small adjustments to debug output, and found a more accurate
version number for Lion Terminal.app.
Longer term we should have a terminal_t class or something
encapsulating all the kinds of terminal detection we have
with methods that return the color support, and also stuff
like whether the terminal has the newline glitch, the
ambiguous width character behavior, etc.
fish forks child processes when (for example) writing out builtin output.
After fork it resets signal handlers, but if a signal is delivered before
the signal handlers are reset, it will inherit fish's default handlers,
which do things like swallow SIGINT. Teach fish's default signal handlers
to detect this case and re-raise signals with default handlers.
This improves the reliability of control-C in the face of builtins.
This exposes it more, since it's quite an important function.
We should do the same with the other vcs functions.
We leave a compatibility shim in place for now.
I hope this is now complete.
Also, shorten enough descriptions to make `string match --<TAB>`
show a two column pager with 80 cols.
We really should have shown more retraint in the design of `string`,
not all of the flags required both a long and short option created.
300ms was waaay too long, and even 100ms wasn't necessary.
Emacs' evil mode uses 10ms (0.01s), so let's stay a tad higher in case
some terminals are slow.
If anyone really wants to be able to type alt+h with escape, let them
raise the timeout.
Fixes#3904.
`/tmp` isn't present / writeable on every system. Instead of always

Adapted from #3974, with updates based on those comments.
Closes#3845.
This is a large change to how io_buffers are filled. The essential problem
comes about with code like (example):
echo ( /bin/pwd )
The output of /bin/pwd must go to fish, not the tty. To arrange for this,
fish does the following:
1. Invoke pipe() to create a pipe.
2. Add an io_bufferfill_t redirection that owns the write end of the pipe.
3. After fork (or equiv), call dup2() to replace pwd's stdout with this pipe.
Now when /bin/pwd writes, it will send output to the read end of the pipe.
But who reads it?
Prior to this fix, fish would do the following in a loop:
1. select() on the pipe with a 10 msec timeout
2. waitpid(WNOHANG) on the pwd proc
This polling is ugly and confusing and is what is replaced here.
With this new change, fish now reads from the pipe via a background thread:
1. Spawn a background pthread, which select()s on the pipe's read end with
a long (100 msec) timeout.
2. In the foreground, waitpid() (allowing hanging) on the pwd proc.
The big win here is a major simplification of job_t::continue_job() since
it no longer has to worry about filling buffers. This will make things
easier for concurrent execution.
It may not be obvious why the background thread still needs a poll (100 msec).
The answer is for cases where the write end of the fd escapes, in particular
background processes invoked inside command substitutions. psub is perhaps
the only important case of this (other shells typically just hang here).
This makes some significant architectual improvements to io_pipe_t and
io_buffer_t.
Prior to this fix, io_buffer_t subclassed io_pipe_t. io_buffer_t is now
replaced with a class io_bufferfill_t, which does not subclass pipe.
io_pipe_t no longer remembers both fds. Instead it has an autoclose_fd_t,
so that the file descriptor ownership is clear.
This switches IO redirections after fork() to use the dup2_list_t,
instead of io_chain_t. This results in simpler code with much simpler
error handling.
Prior to this fix, we would write to a fifo via cat >$filename & .
However in some cases (and soon in all cases) we open the file before
the fork, not after. This results in a deadlock because the file open
cannot succeed until a write begins.
Switch to using tee to write to the file. Because tee opens the file itself,
fish is no longer responsible and the deadlock is resolved.
This represents a "resolved" io_chain_t, where all of the different io_data_t
types have been reduced to a sequence of dup2() and close(). This will
eliminate a lot of the logic duplication around posix_spawn vs fork, and pave
the way for in-process redirections.

By exclusively waiting by pgrp, we can fail to reap processes that
change their own pgrp then either crash or close their fds. If we wind
up in a situation where `waitpid(2)` returns 0 or ECHLD even though we
did not specify `WNOHANG` but we still have unreaped child processes,
wait on them by pid.

We were checking for the $TMUX variable to determine if we were
running under tmux. However when running the tests, the terminal becomes
expect, even though the TMUX variable is still set, so we spew tmux-isms
at expect. Check the value of $TERM for 'screen'.
Since fish began resolving symlinks it broke the running-from-build-dir
detection in fish.cpp if the build directory were a symlink (which is
common on some platforms where the default user HOME directory is a
symlink in the first place, e.g. FreeBSD).
If we read an R_EOF, we'd try to match mappings to it.
In emacs mode, that's not an issue because the generic binding was
always available, but in vi-normal mode there is no generic binding,
so we'd endlessly loop, waiting for another character.
Fixes#5528.
Originally I sought out to configure the foreground color of the
selected text in the pager. After reading a thread on a github issue I
was inpired to do more: now you can conifgure any part of the pager when
selected, and when a row is secondary. More specifically this commit adds the
ability to specify a pager row's:
- Prefix
- Completion text
- Description
- Background
when said row is selected or secondary.
This allows disabling _just_ the informative status.
We still also use the dirty and untracked variables, but only if
informative status hasn't explicitly been enabled.
If either of the two git config variables:
- bash.showDirtyState
- bash.showUntrackedFiles
is explicitly set to false, we will disable informative status, and
fall back on the non-informative version (most likely still with
either dirty or untracked files, since we already use the variables
for that).
These vars are read by the official git prompt, so we use them instead
of inventing our own "fish.showInformativeStatus".
(Note: This also uses $__fish_git_prompt_showdirtystate and friends,
but only when there's nothing set in the repo, and there's really no
reason to set those to false if using the informative status)
Fixes#5551.

This will print out along with the stuff we've guessed about color
support. We get a lot of bug reports about these messing up rendering,
this is useful diagnostic output.
Ask the system where utilities are available with confstr (POSIX).
This is the same string printed by `getconf PATH`, which likely
includes more directories.
Expands the utility of `type -p foo` by allowing it to print the path to
the script that defines `foo` when `foo` is a valid function that was
sourced from a path on disk (rather than interactively defined).
This does not change the behavior of `type -P`/`type --force-path`,
which should have already been used if the desire was to resolve the
path to an executable file (otherwise the output would have been blank
if a function was shadowing an executable file of the same namea), so no
backwards compatibility issues are expected.
Using printf like
printf "The message"
is unsafe, because if the message contains any formatting characters,
they'll be interpreted.
In this case it's not all that important because the message contains
only filenames of our tests and static strings, but still.
I was surprised to see:

I believe this should take care of the reported problem with the
corrected definition for `wcstod_l`. For future reference, any changes
to `config.h.in` should also be reflected in `osx/config.h`
For some reason, we have two places where a variable can be read-only:
- By key in env.cpp:is_read_only(), which is checked via set*
- By flag on the actual env_var_t, which is checked e.g. in
parse_execution
The latter didn't happen for non-electric variables like hostname,
because they used the default constructor, because they were
constructed via operator[] (or some such C++-iness).
This caused for-loops to crash on an assert if they used a
non-electric read-only var like $hostname or $SHLVL.
Instead, we explicitly set the flag.
We might want to remove one of the two read-only checks, or something?
Fixes#5548.
Our weird %-expanding function wrappers around kill et all defined
"--wraps" for the same name.
As it turns out, fish follows that one, and executes the completion
multiple times.

macOS that's apparently a real issue.

On `set fish_color_cwd <TAB>`, a bunch of named colors are
shown in the pager. Each and every one has a description of "Color".
These are all very obviously colors, and none are not colors,
the description does not tell us anything specific about the item.
Descriptions in situations like this are actually a hinderance
because of the way they cause less to fit into the pager. Remove it
There's just waaayy too many things that could go wrong with it, so it
annoys more than it helps, especially since we don't get any
indication what failed.
E.g. on FreeBSD, the test failed without a usable message just because
`tput` couldn't find an attribute (so colors were unset).
Some $TERMs like tmux and linux use an sgr0 ("reset") value that ends
in \co instead of "m". We need to adjust our regex here to catch that,
or we'd miscount lines with it.
This broke when --preset was introduced.
We allow a "--preset" or "--user" to appear right after the "bind",

Which is 4, apparently.. (builtin_set.cpp returns ENV_NOT_FOUND)

I had previously introduced a lot of updates and fixes to npm registry
based completions for `yarn` but hadn't ported them to `npm` as well
(although they can be dropped in as-is). This patch shares the code
between the two, which resides in an explicitly sourced multi-function
fish script.
The informational message is only shown the first time an attempt at
completing `yarn add` is made per session. This should vastly improve
the discoverability of this feature as regular yarn/npm users would
never have `all-the-package-names` installed normally.
This merges a bunch of changes that eliminate fish variables as a global
concept. Instead fish variables are tied to an instance of environment_t
(read-only) or env_stack_t (read/write), which is explicitly threaded
through every site. This is nice cleanup and also preparation for
concurrent execution, where multiple independent threads may need to see
different variables.
This requires threading environment_t through many places, such as completions
and history. We introduce null_environment_t for when the environment isn't
important.
The compiler flag `-Werror=unguarded_availability` was hard-coded for
macOS, but is not supported by GCC on macOS 10.10 (Yosemite). Test for
support with CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG before forcing it.
`xlocale.h` is not available on Linux, so we can't just universally
include it.
`HAVE_XLOCALE_H` was already being tested/set in the CMake script as a
possible requirement for `wcstod_l` support, this just adds it to
`config_cmake_h.in` and uses it in `wutil.h` to gate the include.
Removes the dependency on the current user's home directory, instead
overriding it to be within the current hierarchy.
Fixes the tests on Debian buildd, where the home directory is
deliberately unwriteable to pick up errors in builds.
The one thing I was missing:
`echo -n` isn't POSIX. In practice, it appears the only shell to encounter this
is macOS' crusty old bash in sh-mode. Just replace it with `touch`.
This reverts commit fc5e8f9fec.
This makes the script worse, but it's good enough.
The required changes are:
- `shopt -s nullglob`, which we simply don't use (we have one glob, but that's
guaranteed to match because we ship the files)
- One array, which we replace with a direct use of the glob (plus it
used `echo` again?)
- The `function` word, which I'm still annoyed is even a thing!
- Variable indirection (`color=${!color_var}` - instead we pass the
value directly - which makes the script uglier!)
- One array, which we replace with a function
- A use of `type -t`, replaced with `command -v`
- A use of `${var:begin:end}` substring expansion, replaced with trickery.
- `set -o pipefail` is replaced with a function
Note that checkbashisms still complains about `command -v`, because
we're not using it with "-p". But we _want_ to check the current
$PATH, and `command -v` is POSIX.
This still uses `local`, which technically isn't in POSIX.
The tests now appear to pass in:
- bash
- dash
- zsh
- mksh
- busybox
Starting with Fedora 30 and RHEL 8, ambiguous python shebangs will now
throw errors during the RPM build process instead of just warnings,
since these systems have moved to Python 3 by default, and Python 2 may
not be available in the future.
See [this
page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Make_ambiguous_python_shebangs_error)
for more details.
Drop these shebangs as the scripts are only ever called from fish
wrappers.
Rather than killing the process with close, read EOF after sending the
"exit" command and wait for OS cleanup (per the expect examples).
Not cleaning up with wait caused expect to crash on all 32-bit platforms
including i586 and armv7l with "alloc: invalid block: 0xbf993ccb: 3d 3b".
64-bit platforms were not affected, for reasons that are not clear.
CentOS 7 does not have rhel_version as one of its macros, so trying to
build results in CMake errors, since we get `cmake` instead of
`cmake3`. These additional conditions allow the spec to build
successfully on CentOS 7.
Using %rhel should allow one set of conditionals to work across CentOS 7
and RHEL 7.
This has been tested on both.
This was broken in a8eb02f9f5 when the
detection was corrected for FreeBSD. This patch makes the detection work
for both Linux and FreeBSD instead of one or the other (tested).
Using `setlocale` is both not thread-safe and not correct, as
a) The global locale is usually stored in static storage, so
simultaneous calls to `setlocale` can result in corruption, and
b) `setlocale` changes the locale for the entire application, not
just the calling thread. This means that even if we wrapped the
`wcstod_l` in a mutex to prevent the previous point, the results
would still be incorrect because this would incorrectly influence the
results of locale-aware functions executed in other threads while
this thread is executing.
The previous comment mentioned that `uselocale` hadn't worked. I'm not
sure what the failing implementation looked like, but `uselocale` can be
tricky. The committed implementation passes the tests for me under Linux
and FreeBSD.
This was the actual issue leading to memory corruption under FreeBSD in
issue #5453, worked around by correcting the detection of `wcstod_l` so
that our version of the function is not called at all.
If we are 100% certain that `wcstod_l` does not exist, then then the
existing code is fine. But given that our checks have failed seperately
on two different platforms already (FreeBSD and Cygwin/newlib), it's a
good precaution to take.
CMake seems to have trouble finding libraries from multiarch packages
that do not have the compatibility symlink installed to the
arch-independent library directory. Users must either manually supply
the path to the library in question via command-line parameters or we
can fall back to CMake's alternate method of finding packages based off
of pkg-config rather than using the hard-coded `FindCurses` CMake module
specific to the CMake version/distribution installed.

Fix by using the right autoconf macros for the job.
Turns out busybox diff (used on alpine) defaults to unified output,
which we can't use because that prints filenames, and those are
tempfiles made by psub.
Instead, we use builtins to print the first line and compare the others.
This isn't all that important, and it breaks on musl just because the message is different.
Just skip it for now, until we figure out how to better test this.
This `set TERM`. Which, if $TERM is inherited, is already exported,
but not if it isn't.
This is the case on sr.ht's arch images, so we failed without a TERM variable.
This checks if uname exists (we already call it elsewhere without
check, nobody has complained, uname is in POSIX), then calls to see if
it's "Linux", and only then offers any completions.
Since we don't have any other version to offer, the check is worse
than useless.
This helps on netbsd, because enter_standout_mode et al are const
there.
These methods don't alter their argument, so they should have been
const to begin with.
This is non-const on macOS, but some of the args we pass are always
const on netbsd.
I have no idea why you'd ever want this to modify its argument, but whatever.
This is the more correct fix for #5447, as regardless of which process
in the job (be it the first or the last) finished first, once we have
waited on a process without ~WNOHANG we don't do that for any subsequent

It is also a waste to call into the kernel to wait for a process we
already know is completed!
@ridiculousfish had introduced this in 3a45cad12e

This is necessary for the history race condition test to succeed.
(That test is permanently disabled under WSL (as it always fails) so I
didn't catch this on my end.)
Use `pthread_atfork()` to mark child processes as dirty when `fork()` is
invoked rather than needing to call into the kernel each time
`ASSERT_IS_NOT_FORKED_CHILD()` is called.
This makes simple test cases that hit `ASSERT_IS_NOT_FORKED_CHILD()` 1.8x faster.

By using a user-land thread-local integer and lock-free (at least under
x86/x64) atomics, we can implement a safe `assert_is_main_thread()`
without calling into the kernel. Thread-local variables are part of
C++11.
This is called a lot in some performance-sensitive areas, so it is worth
optimizing.
This fixes#5438 by having fish block while waiting on a foreground job
via its individual processes by enumerating the procs in reverse order,
such that we hang waiting for the last job in the IO chain to terminate,
rather than the first.
If it's a foreground job, it is related to the currently running exec.
This fixes exec in functions, i.e.
function reload
exec fish
end
would previously always ask about the "function reload" job.
Fixes#5449.
Fixesoh-my-fish/oh-my-fish#664.
Mainly this removes the "TYPE_MASK" macro that just masks off the
higher bits, which I don't think were ever actually used.
Much of this seems like anticipation of future direction, but we're
going somewhere else.
This removes the need to run c-compilation on one file, and allows us
to in future c++-ify this a bit.
There's a lot of bit-fiddling here that is quite unnecessary, better
error-handling would be nice...
So far this removes a few more unused things (because I would have had
to port them), including:
- Functions with ARITY > 3 (even 3 isn't used, but just so we don't
get complacent)
- Variables
- Most functions moved out of the header, because only te_interp is used.
- The te_print function
The function `add_disowned_pgid` adds process *group* ids and not
process ids. It multiplies the value by negative 1 to indicate a wait
on a process group, so the original value must be positive.
If a job is disowned that, for some reason, has a pgid that is special
to waitpid, like 0 (process with pgid of the calling process), -1 (any
process), or our actual pgid, that would lead to us waiting for too
many processes when we later try to reap the disowned processes (to
stop zombies from appearing).
And that means we'd snag away the processes we actually do want to
wait for, which would end with us in a waiting loop.
This is tough to reproduce, the easiest I've found was
fish -ic 'sleep 5 &; disown; set -g __fish_git_prompt_showupstream auto; __fish_git_prompt'
in a git repo.
What we do is to not allow special pgids in the disowned_pids list.
That means we might leave a zombie around (though we probably wait on
0 somewhere), but that's preferable to infinitely looping.
See #5426.
* Severely extended the sorin theme
This theme should now mostly match the original.
* Removed superfluous whitespace
* Inlined external links as ASCII art
* Made myself the author of the sorin theme
* Removed superfluous read delemiter
* Renamed __fish_git_action to fish_print_git_action
* Adde a minor comment
Return STATUS_INVALID_ARGS when failing due to evaluation errors,
so we can tell the difference between an error and falseness.
Add a test for the ERANGE error
The rest of the high-numbered exit codes are not values used by scripts
or builtins, they are internal to fish and come out of
the parser for example.
Prior to adding STATUS_INVALID_ARGS, builtins were usually exiting 2
if they had a special exit status for the situation of bad arguments.
Set it to 2.
Cleaned up the code to no longer replicate in fishscript what fish
already does (and caches to boot) in C++ in setting up the paths to the
user configuration directory.
Also introduced a `$__fish_user_data_dir` instead of the sporadic
definitions of `$userdatadir` that may or may not go through
`XDG_DATA_HOME`.
We were not parsing an in-range number when we claimed we were,
and were thus failing to error with invalid numbers and returned
a wrong test result. Fixed#5414
Also, provide the detail we can for the other error cases.
I spent some time figuring out $TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION and Terminal.app's
capabilities over time. [1]
Only use OSC 7 if running on the version of Terminal.app that added it
or newer. In the past this would have been harder because `test` couldn't
do float comparisons.
cleanup:
Don't bother setting a local $TERM_PROGRAM if it's unset: quoting
is enough to keep test happy. For the version numbers, 0"$var" is safe
against unset variables for numerical comparisons.
[1]: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/wiki/Terminal.app-characteristics
This previously used /dev/tty to make sure we have `source` connected
to a terminal. Only as it turns out, FreeBSD doesn't have that (https://builds.sr.ht/~faho/job/15308).
So instead, let's just use the expect tests since stdin there is by
definition a terminal.
This release of fish fixes a number of major issues since fish 3.0.2.
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0.0 and 3.0b1 (included below).
---
# fish 3.0.2 (released February 19, 2019)
This release of fish fixes an issue discovered in fish 3.0.1.
### Fixes and improvements
- The PWD environment variable is now ignored if it does not resolve to the true working directory, fixing strange behaviour in terminals started by editors and IDEs (#5647).
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0.1, 3.0.0 and 3.0b1 (included below).

# fish 3.0.1 (released February 11, 2019)
This release of fish fixes a number of major issues discovered in fish 3.0.0.
### Fixes and improvements
-`exec` does not complain about running foreground jobs when called (#5449).
- while loops now evaluate to the last executed command in the loop body (or zero if the body was empty), matching POSIX semantics (#4982).
-`read --silent` no longer echoes to the tty when run from a non-interactive script (#5519).
- On macOS, path entries with spaces in `/etc/paths` and `/etc/paths.d` now correctly set path entries with spaces. Likewise, `MANPATH` is correctly set from `/etc/manpaths` and `/etc/manpaths.d` (#5481).
- fish starts correctly under Cygwin/MSYS2 (#5426).
- The `pager-toggle-search` binding (Ctrl-S by default) will now activate the search field, even when the pager is not focused.
- The error when a command is not found is now printed a single time, instead of once per argument (#5588).
- Fixes and improvements to the git completions, including printing correct paths with older git versions, fuzzy matching again, reducing unnecessary offers of root paths (starting with `:/`) (#5578, #5574, #5476), and ignoring shell aliases, so enterprising users can set up the wrapping command (via `set -g __fish_git_alias_$command $whatitwraps`) (#5412).
- Significant performance improvements to core shell functions (#5447) and to the `kill` completions (#5541).
- Starting in symbolically-linked working directories works correctly (#5525).
- The default `fish_title` function no longer contains extra spaces (#5517).
- The `nim` prompt now works correctly when chosen in the Web-based configuration (#5490).
-`string` now prints help to stdout, like other builtins (#5495).
- Killing the terminal while fish is in vi normal mode will no longer send it spinning and eating CPU. (#5528)
- A number of crashes have been fixed (#5550, #5548, #5479, #5453).
- Improvements to the documentation and certain completions.
### Known issues
There is one significant known issue that was not corrected before the release:
- fish does not run correctly under Windows Services for Linux before Windows 10 version 1809/17763, and the message warning of this may not be displayed (#5619).
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0.0 and 3.0b1 (included below).

# fish 3.0.0 (released December 28, 2018)
fish 3 is a major release, which introduces some breaking changes alongside improved functionality. Although most existing scripts will continue to work, they should be reviewed against the list contained in the 3.0b1 release notes below.
Compared to the beta release of fish 3.0b1, fish version 3.0.0:
- builds correctly against musl libc (#5407)
- handles huge numeric arguments to `test` correctly (#5414)
- removes the history colouring introduced in 3.0b1, which did not always work correctly
There is one significant known issue which was not able to be corrected before the release:
- fish 3.0.0 builds on Cygwin (#5423), but does not run correctly (#5426) and will result in a hanging terminal when started. Cygwin users are encouraged to continue using 2.7.1 until a release which corrects this is available.
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0b1 (included below).

# fish 3.0b1 (released December 11, 2018)
fish 3 is a major release, which introduces some breaking changes alongside improved functionality. Although most existing scripts will continue to work, they should be reviewed against the list below.
## Notable non-backward compatible changes
- Process and job expansion has largely been removed. `%` will no longer perform these expansions, except for `%self` for the PID of the current shell. Additionally, job management commands (`disown`, `wait`, `bg`, `fg` and `kill`) will expand job specifiers starting with `%` (#4230, #1202).
-`set x[1] x[2] a b`, to set multiple elements of an array at once, is no longer valid syntax (#4236).
- A literal `{}` now expands to itself, rather than nothing. This makes working with `find -exec` easier (#1109, #4632).
- Literally accessing a zero-index is now illegal syntax and is caught by the parser (#4862). (fish indices start at 1)
- Successive commas in brace expansions are handled in less surprising manner. For example, `{,,,}` expands to four empty strings rather than an empty string, a comma and an empty string again (#3002, #4632).
-`for` loop control variables are no longer local to the `for` block (#1935).
- Variables set in `if` and `while` conditions are available outside the block (#4820).
- Local exported (`set -lx`) vars are now visible to functions (#1091).
- The new `math` builtin (see below) does not support logical expressions; `test` should be used instead (#4777).
- Range expansion will now behave sensibly when given a single positive and negative index (`$foo[5..-1]` or `$foo[-1..5]`), clamping to the last valid index without changing direction if the list has fewer elements than expected.
-`read` now uses `-s` as short for `--silent` (à la `bash`); `--shell`'s abbreviation (formerly `-s`) is now `-S` instead (#4490).
-`cd` no longer resolves symlinks. fish now maintains a virtual path, matching other shells (#3350).
-`source` now requires an explicit `-` as the filename to read from the terminal (#2633).
- Arguments to `end` are now errors, instead of being silently ignored.
- The names `argparse`, `read`, `set`, `status`, `test` and `[` are now reserved and not allowed as function names. This prevents users unintentionally breaking stuff (#3000).
- The `fish_user_abbreviations` variable is no longer used; abbreviations will be migrated to the new storage format automatically.
- The `FISH_READ_BYTE_LIMIT` variable is now called `fish_byte_limit` (#4414).
- Environment variables are no longer split into arrays based on the record separator character on startup. Instead, variables are not split, unless their name ends in PATH, in which case they are split on colons (#436).
- The `history` builtin's `--with-time` option has been removed; this has been deprecated in favor of `--show-time` since 2.7.0 (#4403).
- The internal variables `__fish_datadir` and `__fish_sysconfdir` are now known as `__fish_data_dir` and `__fish_sysconf_dir` respectively.
## Deprecations
With the release of fish 3, a number of features have been marked for removal in the future. All users are encouraged to explore alternatives. A small number of these features are currently behind feature flags, which are turned on at present but may be turned off by default in the future.
A new feature flags mechanism is added for staging deprecations and breaking changes. Feature flags may be specified at launch with `fish --features ...` or by setting the universal `fish_features` variable. (#4940)
- The use of the `IFS` variable for `read` is deprecated; `IFS` will be ignored in the future (#4156). Use the `read --delimiter` option instead.
- The `function --on-process-exit` switch will be removed in future (#4700). Use the `fish_exit` event instead: `function --on-event fish_exit`.
-`$_` is deprecated and will removed in the future (#813). Use `status current-command` in a command substitution instead.
-`^` as a redirection deprecated and will be removed in the future. (#4394). Use `2>` to redirect stderr. This is controlled by the `stderr-nocaret` feature flag.
-`?` as a glob (wildcard) is deprecated and will be removed in the future (#4520). This is controlled by the `qmark-noglob` feature flag.
## Notable fixes and improvements
### Syntax changes and new commands
- fish now supports `&&` (like `and`), `||` (like `or`), and `!` (like `not`), for better migration from POSIX-compliant shells (#4620).
- Variables may be used as commands (#154).
- fish may be started in private mode via `fish --private`. Private mode fish sessions do not have access to the history file and any commands evaluated in private mode are not persisted for future sessions. A session variable `$fish_private_mode` can be queried to detect private mode and adjust the behavior of scripts accordingly to respect the user's wish for privacy.
- A new `wait` command for waiting on backgrounded processes (#4498).
-`math` is now a builtin rather than a wrapper around `bc` (#3157). Floating point computations is now used by default, and can be controlled with the new `--scale` option (#4478).
- Setting `$PATH` no longer warns on non-existent directories, allowing for a single $PATH to be shared across machines (eg via dotfiles) (#2969).
-`while` sets `$status` to a non-zero value if the loop is not executed (#4982).
- Command substitution output is now limited to 10 MB by default, controlled by the `fish_read_limit` variable (#3822). Notably, this is larger than most operating systems' argument size limit, so trying to pass argument lists this size to external commands has never worked.
- The machine hostname, where available, is now exposed as the `$hostname` reserved variable. This removes the dependency on the `hostname` executable (#4422).
- Bare `bind` invocations in config.fish now work. The `fish_user_key_bindings` function is no longer necessary, but will still be executed if it exists (#5191).
-`$fish_pid` and `$last_pid` are available as replacements for `%self` and `%last`.
### New features in commands
-`alias` has a new `--save` option to save the generated function immediately (#4878).
-`bind` has a new `--silent` option to ignore bind requests for named keys not available under the current terminal (#4188, #4431).
-`complete` has a new `--keep-order` option to show the provided or dynamically-generated argument list in the same order as specified, rather than alphabetically (#361).
-`exec` prompts for confirmation if background jobs are running.
-`funced` has a new `--save` option to automatically save the edited function after successfully editing (#4668).
-`functions` has a new ` --handlers` option to show functions registered as event handlers (#4694).
-`history search` supports globs for wildcard searching (#3136) and has a new `--reverse` option to show entries from oldest to newest (#4375).
-`jobs` has a new `--quiet` option to silence the output.
-`read` has a new `--delimiter` option for splitting input into arrays (#4256).
-`read` writes directly to stdout if called without arguments (#4407).
-`read` can now read individual lines into separate variables without consuming the input in its entirety via the new `/--line` option.
-`set` has new `--append` and `--prepend` options (#1326).
-`set` has a new `--show` option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
-`string match` with an empty pattern and `--entire` in glob mode now matches everything instead of nothing (#4971).
-`string split` supports a new `--no-empty` option to exclude empty strings from the result (#4779).
-`string` has new subcommands `split0` and `join0` for working with NUL-delimited output.
-`string` no longer stops processing text after NUL characters (#4605)
-`string escape` has a new `--style regex` option for escaping strings to be matched literally in `string` regex operations.
-`test` now supports floating point values in numeric comparisons.
### Interactive improvements
- A pipe at the end of a line now allows the job to continue on the next line (#1285).
- Italics and dim support out of the box on macOS for Terminal.app and iTerm (#4436).
-`cd` tab completions no longer descend into the deepest unambiguous path (#4649).
- Pager navigation has been improved. Most notably, moving down now wraps around, moving up from the commandline now jumps to the last element and moving right and left now reverse each other even when wrapping around (#4680).
- Typing normal characters while the completion pager is active no longer shows the search field. Instead it enters them into the command line, and ends paging (#2249).
- A new input binding `pager-toggle-search` toggles the search field in the completions pager on and off. By default, this is bound to Ctrl-S.
- Searching in the pager now does a full fuzzy search (#5213).
- The pager will now show the full command instead of just its last line if the number of completions is large (#4702).
- Abbreviations can be tab-completed (#3233).
- Tildes in file names are now properly escaped in completions (#2274).
- Wrapping completions (from `complete --wraps` or `function --wraps`) can now inject arguments. For example, `complete gco --wraps 'git checkout'` now works properly (#1976). The `alias` function has been updated to respect this behavior.
- Path completions now support expansions, meaning expressions like `python ~/<TAB>` now provides file suggestions just like any other relative or absolute path. (This includes support for other expansions, too.)
- Autosuggestions try to avoid arguments that are already present in the command line.
- Notifications about crashed processes are now always shown, even in command substitutions (#4962).
- The screen is no longer reset after a BEL, fixing graphical glitches (#3693).
- vi-mode now supports ';' and ',' motions. This introduces new {forward,backward}-jump-till and repeat-jump{,-reverse} bind functions (#5140).
- The `*y` vi-mode binding now works (#5100).
- True color is now enabled in neovim by default (#2792).
- Terminal size variables (`$COLUMNS`/`$LINES`) are now updated before `fish_prompt` is called, allowing the prompt to react (#904).
- Multi-line prompts no longer repeat when the terminal is resized (#2320).
-`xclip` support has been added to the clipboard integration (#5020).
- The Alt-P keybinding paginates the last command if the command line is empty.
-`$cmd_duration` is no longer reset when no command is executed (#5011).
- Deleting a one-character word no longer erases the next word as well (#4747).
- Token history search (Alt-Up) omits duplicate entries (#4795).
- The `fish_escape_delay_ms` timeout, allowing the use of the escape key both on its own and as part of a control sequence, was applied to all control characters; this has been reduced to just the escape key.
- Completing a function shows the description properly (#5206).
- Added completions for
-`ansible`, including `ansible-galaxy`, `ansible-playbook` and `ansible-vault` (#4697)
- Lots of improvements to completions (especially `darcs` (#5112), `git`, `hg` and `sudo`).
- Completions for `yarn` and `npm` now require the `all-the-package-names` NPM package for full functionality.
- Completions for `bower` and `yarn` now require the `jq` utility for full functionality.
- Improved French translations.
### Other fixes and improvements
- Significant performance improvements to `abbr` (#4048), setting variables (#4200, #4341), executing functions, globs (#4579), `string` reading from standard input (#4610), and slicing history (in particular, `$history[1]` for the last executed command).
- Fish's internal wcwidth function has been updated to deal with newer Unicode, and the width of some characters can be configured via the `fish_ambiguous_width` (#5149) and `fish_emoji_width` (#2652) variables. Alternatively, a new build-time option INTERNAL_WCWIDTH can be used to use the system's wcwidth instead (#4816).
-`functions` correctly supports `-d` as the short form of `--description`. (#5105)
-`/etc/paths` is now parsed like macOS' bash `path_helper`, fixing $PATH order (#4336, #4852) on macOS.
- Using a read-only variable in a `for` loop produces an error, rather than silently producing incorrect results (#4342).
- The universal variables filename no longer contains the hostname or MAC address. It is now at the fixed location `.config/fish/fish_variables` (#1912).
- Exported variables in the global or universal scope no longer have their exported status affected by local variables (#2611).
- Major rework of terminal and job handling to eliminate bugs (#3805, #3952, #4178, #4235, #4238, #4540, #4929, #5210).
- Improvements to the manual page completion generator (#2937, #4313).
-`suspend --force` now works correctly (#4672).
- Pressing Ctrl-C while running a script now reliably terminates fish (#5253).
### For distributors and developers
- fish ships with a new build system based on CMake. CMake 3.2 is the minimum required version. Although the autotools-based Makefile and the Xcode project are still shipped with this release, they will be removed in the near future. All distributors and developers are encouraged to migrate to the CMake build.
- Build scripts for most platforms no longer require bash, using the standard sh instead.
- The `hostname` command is no longer required for fish to operate.

# fish 2.7.1 (released December 23, 2017)
This release of fish fixes an issue where iTerm 2 on macOS would display a warning about paste bracketing being left on when starting a new fish session (#4521).
If you are upgrading from version 2.6.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.7.0 and 2.7b1 (included below).
--
# fish 2.7.0 (released November 23, 2017)
There are no major changes between 2.7b1 and 2.7.0. If you are upgrading from version 2.6.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.7b1 (included below).
Xcode builds and macOS packages could not be produced with 2.7b1, but this is fixed in 2.7.0.
--
# fish 2.7b1 (released October 31, 2017)
## Notable improvements
- A new `cdh` (change directory using recent history) command provides a more friendly alternative to prevd/nextd and pushd/popd (#2847).
- A new `argparse` command is available to allow fish script to parse arguments with the same behavior as builtin commands. This also includes the `fish_opt` helper command. (#4190).
- Invalid array indexes are now silently ignored (#826, #4127).
- Improvements to the debugging facility, including a prompt specific to the debugger (`fish_breakpoint_prompt`) and a `status is-breakpoint` subcommand (#1310).
-`string` supports new `lower` and `upper` subcommands, for altering the case of strings (#4080). The case changing is not locale-aware yet.- `string escape` has a new `--style=xxx` flag where `xxx` can be `script`, `var`, or `url` (#4150), and can be reversed with `string unescape` (#3543).
- History can now be split into sessions with the `fish_history` variable, or not saved to disk at all (#102).
- Read history is now controlled by the `fish_history` variable rather than the `--mode-name` flag (#1504).
-`command` now supports an `--all` flag to report all directories with the command. `which` is no longer a runtime dependency (#2778).
- fish can run commands before starting an interactive session using the new `--init-command`/`-C` options (#4164).
-`set` has a new `--show` option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
## Other significant changes
- The `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables are now correctly set the first time `fish_prompt` is run (#4141).
-`complete`'s `--no-files` option works as intended (#112).
-`echo -h` now correctly echoes `-h` in line with other shells (#4120).
- The `export` compatibility function now returns zero on success, rather than always returning 1 (#4435).
- Stop converting empty elements in MANPATH to "." (#4158). The behavior being changed was introduced in fish 2.6.0.
-`count -h` and `count --help` now return 1 rather than produce command help output (#4189).
- An attempt to `read` which stops because too much data is available still defines the variables given as parameters (#4180).
- A regression in fish 2.4.0 which prevented `pushd +1` from working has been fixed (#4091).
- A regression in fish 2.6.0 where multiple `read` commands in non-interactive scripts were broken has been fixed (#4206).
- A regression in fish 2.6.0 involving universal variables with side-effects at startup such as `set -U fish_escape_delay_ms 10` has been fixed (#4196).
- Added completions for:
-`as` (#4130)
-`cdh` (#2847)

# fish 2.6.0 (released June 3, 2017)
Since the beta release of fish 2.6b1, fish version 2.6.0 contains a number of minor fixes, new completions for `magneto` (#4043), and improvements to the documentation.
## Known issues
- Apple macOS Sierra 10.12.5 introduced a problem with launching web browsers from other programs using AppleScript. This affects the fish Web configuration (`fish_config`); users on these platforms will need to manually open the address displayed in the terminal, such as by copying and pasting it into a browser. This problem will be fixed with macOS 10.12.6.
If you are upgrading from version 2.5.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.6b1 (included below).

# fish 2.6b1 (released May 14, 2017)
## Notable fixes and improvements
- Jobs running in the background can now be removed from the list of jobs with the new `disown` builtin, which behaves like the same command in other shells (#2810).
- Command substitutions now have access to the terminal, like in other shells. This allows tools like `fzf` to work properly (#1362, #3922).
- In cases where the operating system does not report the size of the terminal, the `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables are used; if they are unset, a default of 80x24 is assumed.
- New French (#3772 & #3788) and improved German (#3834) translations.
- fish no longer depends on the `which` external command.
## Other significant changes
- Performance improvements in launching processes, including major reductions in signal blocking. Although this has been heavily tested, it may cause problems in some circumstances; set the `FISH_NO_SIGNAL_BLOCK` variable to 0 in your fish configuration file to return to the old behaviour (#2007).
- Performance improvements in prompts and functions that set lots of colours (#3793).
- The Delete key no longer deletes backwards (a regression in 2.5.0).
-`functions` supports a new `--details` option, which identifies where the function was loaded from (#3295), and a `--details --verbose` option which includes the function description (#597).
-`read` will read up to 10 MiB by default, leaving the target variable empty and exiting with status 122 if the line is too long. You can set a different limit with the `FISH_READ_BYTE_LIMIT` variable.
-`read` supports a new `--silent` option to hide the characters typed (#838), for when reading sensitive data from the terminal. `read` also now accepts simple strings for the prompt (rather than scripts) with the new `-P` and `--prompt-str` options (#802).
-`export` and `setenv` now understand colon-separated `PATH`, `CDPATH` and `MANPATH` variables.
-`setenv` is no longer a simple alias for `set -gx` and will complain, just like the csh version, if given more than one value (#4103).
-`bind` supports a new `--list-modes` option (#3872).
-`bg` will check all of its arguments before backgrounding any jobs; any invalid arguments will cause a failure, but non-existent (eg recently exited) jobs are ignored (#3909).
-`funced` warns if the function being edited has not been modified (#3961).
-`status` supports a new `current-function` subcommand to print the current function name (#1743).
-`string` supports a new `repeat` subcommand (#3864). `string match` supports a new `--entire` option to emit the entire line matched by a pattern (#3957). `string replace` supports a new `--filter` option to only emit lines which underwent a replacement (#3348).
-`test` supports the `-k` option to test for sticky bits (#733).
-`umask` understands symbolic modes (#738).
- Empty components in the `CDPATH`, `MANPATH` and `PATH` variables are now converted to "." (#2106, #3914).
- New versions of ncurses (6.0 and up) wipe terminal scrollback buffers with certain commands; the `C-l` binding tries to avoid this (#2855).
- Some systems' `su` implementations do not set the `USER` environment variable; it is now reset for root users (#3916).
- Under terminals which support it, bracketed paste is enabled, escaping problematic characters for security and convience (#3871). Inside single quotes (`'`), single quotes and backslashes in pasted text are escaped (#967). The `fish_clipboard_paste` function (bound to `C-v` by default) is still the recommended pasting method where possible as it includes this functionality and more.
- Processes in pipelines are no longer signalled as soon as one command in the pipeline has completed (#1926). This behaviour matches other shells mre closely.
- All functions requiring Python work with whichever version of Python is installed (#3970). Python 3 is preferred, but Python 2.6 remains the minimum version required.
- The color of the cancellation character can be controlled by the `fish_color_cancel` variable (#3963).
There are no major changes between 2.5b1 and 2.5.0. If you are upgrading from version 2.4.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.5b1 (included below).
## Notable fixes and improvements
- The Home, End, Insert, Delete, Page Up and Page Down keys work in Vi-style key bindings (#3731).
---
# fish 2.5b1 (released January 14, 2017)
## Platform Changes
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a more up-to-date version of C++, specifically C++11 (from 2011). This affects some older platforms:
### Linux
For users building from source, GCC's g++ 4.8 or later, or LLVM's clang 3.3 or later, are known to work. Older platforms may require a newer compiler installed.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the toolchain, binary packages are no longer published by the fish-shell developers for the following platforms:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 5 & 6 for 64-bit builds
- Ubuntu 12.04 (EoLTS April 2017)
- Debian 7 (EoLTS May 2018)
Installing newer version of fish on these systems will require building from source.
### OS X SnowLeopard
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a C++11 standard library on OS X 10.6 ("SnowLeopard"). If this library is not installed, you will see this error: `dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib`
MacPorts is the easiest way to obtain this library. After installing the SnowLeopard MacPorts release from the install page, run:
```
sudo port -v install libcxx
```
Now fish should launch successfully. (Please open an issue if it does not.)
This is only necessary on 10.6. OS X 10.7 and later include the required library by default.
## Other significant changes
- Attempting to exit with running processes in the background produces a warning, then signals them to terminate if a second attempt to exit is made. This brings the behaviour for running background processes into line with stopped processes. (#3497)
-`random` can now have start, stop and step values specified, or the new `choice` subcommand can be used to pick an argument from a list (#3619).
- A new key bindings preset, `fish_hybrid_key_bindings`, including all the Emacs-style and Vi-style bindings, which behaves like `fish_vi_key_bindings` in fish 2.3.0 (#3556).
-`function` now returns an error when called with invalid options, rather than defining the function anyway (#3574). This was a regression present in fish 2.3 and 2.4.0.
- fish no longer prints a warning when it identifies a running instance of an old version (2.1.0 and earlier). Changes to universal variables may not propagate between these old versions and 2.5b1.
- Improved compatiblity with Android (#3585), MSYS/mingw (#2360), and Solaris (#3456, #3340).
- Like other shells, the `test` builting now returns an error for numeric operations on invalid integers (#3346, #3581).
-`complete` no longer recognises `--authoritative` and `--unauthoritative` options, and they are marked as obsolete.
-`status` accepts subcommands, and should be used like `status is-interactive`. The old options continue to be supported for the foreseeable future (#3526), although only one subcommand or option can be specified at a time.
- Selection mode (used with "begin-selection") no longer selects a character the cursor does not move over (#3684).
- List indexes are handled better, and a bit more liberally in some cases (`echo $PATH[1 .. 3]` is now valid) (#3579).
- The `fish_mode_prompt` function is now simply a stub around `fish_default_mode_prompt`, which allows the mode prompt to be included more easily in customised prompt functions (#3641).
## Notable fixes and improvements
-`alias`, run without options or arguments, lists all defined aliases, and aliases now include a description in the function signature that identifies them.
-`complete` accepts empty strings as descriptions (#3557).
-`command` accepts `-q`/`--quiet` in combination with `--search` (#3591), providing a simple way of checking whether a command exists in scripts.
- Abbreviations can now be renamed with `abbr --rename OLD_KEY NEW_KEY` (#3610).
- The command synopses printed by `--help` options work better with copying and pasting (#2673).
-`help` launches the browser specified by the `$fish_help_browser variable` if it is set (#3131).
- History merging could lose items under certain circumstances and is now fixed (#3496).
- The `$status` variable is now set to 123 when a syntactically invalid command is entered (#3616).
- Exiting fish now signals all background processes to terminate, not just stopped jobs (#3497).
- A new `prompt_hostname` function which prints a hostname suitable for use in prompts (#3482).
- The `__fish_man_page` function (bound to Alt-h by default) now tries to recognize subcommands (e.g. `git add` will now open the "git-add" man page) (#3678).
- A new function `edit_command_buffer` (bound to Alt-e & Alt-v by default) to edit the command buffer in an external editor (#1215, #3627).
-`set_color` now supports italics (`--italics`), dim (`--dim`) and reverse (`--reverse`) modes (#3650).
- Filesystems with very slow locking (eg incorrectly-configured NFS) will no longer slow fish down (#685).
- Improved completions for `apt` (#3695), `fusermount` (#3642), `make` (#3628), `netctl-auto` (#3378), `nmcli` (#3648), `pygmentize` (#3378), and `tar` (#3719).
- Added completions for:
-`VBoxHeadless` (#3378)
-`VBoxSDL` (#3378)
-`base64` (#3378)
-`caffeinate` (#3524)
-`dconf` (#3638)
-`dig` (#3495)
-`dpkg-reconfigure` (#3521 & #3522)
-`feh` (#3378)
-`launchctl` (#3682)
-`lxc` (#3554 & #3564),
-`mddiagnose` (#3524)
-`mdfind` (#3524)
-`mdimport` (#3524)
-`mdls` (#3524)
-`mdutil` (#3524)
-`mkvextract` (#3492)
-`nvram` (#3524)
-`objdump` (#3378)
-`sysbench` (#3491)
-`tmutil` (#3524)
---
# fish 2.4.0 (released November 8, 2016)
There are no major changes between 2.4b1 and 2.4.0.
## Notable fixes and improvements
- The documentation is now generated properly and with the correct version identifier.
- Automatic cursor changes are now only enabled on the subset of XTerm versions known to support them, resolving a problem where older versions printed garbage to the terminal before and after every prompt (#3499).
- Improved the title set in Apple Terminal.app.
- Added completions for `defaults` and improved completions for `diskutil` (#3478).
---
# fish 2.4b1 (released October 18, 2016)
## Significant changes
- The clipboard integration has been revamped with explicit bindings. The killring commands no longer copy from, or paste to, the X11 clipboard - use the new copy (`C-x`) and paste (`C-v`) bindings instead. The clipboard is now available on OS X as well as systems using X11 (e.g. Linux). (#3061)
-`history` uses subcommands (`history delete`) rather than options (`history --delete`) for its actions (#3367). You can no longer specify multiple actions via flags (e.g., `history --delete --save something`).
- New `history` options have been added, including `--max=n` to limit the number of history entries, `--show-time` option to show timestamps (#3175, #3244), and `--null` to null terminate history entries in the search output.
-`history search` is now case-insensitive by default (which also affects `history delete`) (#3236).
-`history delete` now correctly handles multiline commands (#31).
- Vi-style bindings no longer include all of the default emacs-style bindings; instead, they share some definitions (#3068).
- If there is no locale set in the environment, various known system configuration files will be checked for a default. If no locale can be found, `en_US-UTF.8` will be used (#277).
- A number followed by a caret (e.g. `5^`) is no longer treated as a redirection (#1873).
- The `$version` special variable can be overwritten, so that it can be used for other purposes if required.
## Notable fixes and improvements
- The `fish_realpath` builtin has been renamed to `realpath` and made compatible with GNU `realpath` when run without arguments (#3400). It is used only for systems without a `realpath` or `grealpath` utility (#3374).
- Improved color handling on terminals/consoles with 8-16 colors, particularly the use of bright named color (#3176, #3260).
-`fish_indent` can now read from files given as arguments, rather than just standard input (#3037).
- Fuzzy tab completions behave in a less surprising manner (#3090, #3211).
-`jobs` should only print its header line once (#3127).
- Wildcards in redirections are highlighted appropriately (#2789).
- Suggestions will be offered more often, like after removing characters (#3069).
-`history --merge` now correctly interleaves items in chronological order (#2312).
- Options for `fish_indent` have been aligned with the other binaries - in particular, `-d` now means `--debug`. The `--dump` option has been renamed to `--dump-parse-tree` (#3191).
- The display of bindings in the Web-based configuration has been greatly improved (#3325), as has the rendering of prompts (#2924).
- fish should no longer hang using 100% CPU in the C locale (#3214).
- A bug in FreeBSD 11 & 12, Dragonfly BSD & illumos prevented fish from working correctly on these platforms under UTF-8 locales; fish now avoids the buggy behaviour (#3050).
- Prompts which show git repository information (via `__fish_git_prompt`) are faster in large repositories (#3294) and slow filesystems (#3083).
- fish 2.3.0 reintroduced a problem where the greeting was printed even when using `read`; this has been corrected again (#3261).
- Vi mode changes the cursor depending on the current mode (#3215).
- Command lines with escaped space characters at the end tab-complete correctly (#2447).
- Distributors, packagers and developers will notice that the build process produces more succinct output by default; use `make V=1` to get verbose output (#3248).
- Improved compatibility with minor platforms including musl (#2988), Cygwin (#2993), Android (#3441, #3442), Haiku (#3322) and Solaris .
---
# fish 2.3.1 (released July 3, 2016)
This is a functionality and bugfix release. This release does not contain all the changes to fish since the last release, but fixes a number of issues directly affecting users at present and includes a small number of new features.
## Significant changes
- A new `fish_key_reader` binary for decoding interactive keypresses (#2991).
-`fish_mode_prompt` has been updated to reflect the changes in the way the Vi input mode is set up (#3067), making this more reliable.
-`fish_config` can now properly be launched from the OS X app bundle (#3140).
## Notable fixes and improvements
- Extra lines were sometimes inserted into the output under Windows (Cygwin and Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux) due to TTY timestamps not being updated (#2859).
- The `string` builtin's `match` mode now handles the combination of `-rnv` (match, invert and count) correctly (#3098).
- Improvements to TTY special character handling (#3064), locale handling (#3124) and terminal environment variable handling (#3060).
- Work towards handling the terminal modes for external commands launched from initialisation files (#2980).
- Ease the upgrade path from fish 2.2.0 and before by warning users to restart fish if the `string` builtin is not available (#3057).
-`type -a` now syntax-colorizes function source output.
- Added completions for `alsamixer`, `godoc`, `gofmt`, `goimports`, `gorename`, `lscpu`, `mkdir`, `modinfo`, `netctl-auto`, `poweroff`, `termite`, `udisksctl` and `xz` (#3123).
- Improved completions for `apt` (#3097), `aura` (#3102),`git` (#3114), `npm` (#3158), `string` and `suspend` (#3154).
---
# fish 2.3.0 (released May 20, 2016)
There are no significant changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3b2.
## Other notable fixes and improvements
-`abbr` now allows non-letter keys (#2996).
- Define a few extra colours on first start (#2987).
- Multiple documentation updates.
- Added completions for rmmod (#3007).
- Improved completions for git (#2998).
## Known issues
- Interactive commands started from fish configuration files or from the `-c` option may, under certain circumstances, be started with incorrect terminal modes and fail to behave as expected. A fix is planned but requires further testing (#2619).
---
# fish 2.3b2 (released May 5, 2016)
## Significant changes
- A new `fish_realpath` builtin and associated function to allow the use of `realpath` even on those platforms that don't ship an appropriate command (#2932).
- Alt-# toggles the current command line between commented and uncommented states, making it easy to save a command in history without executing it.
- The `fish_vi_mode` function is now deprecated in favour of `fish_vi_key_bindings`.
## Other notable fixes and improvements
- Fix the build on Cygwin (#2952) and RedHat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 5 (#2955).
- Avoid confusing the terminal line driver with non-printing characters in `fish_title` (#2453).
- Improved completions for busctl, git (#2585, #2879, #2984), and netctl.
---
# fish 2.3b1 (released April 19, 2016)
## Significant Changes
- A new `string` builtin to handle... strings! This builtin will measure, split, search and replace text strings, including using regular expressions. It can also be used to turn lists into plain strings using `join`. `string` can be used in place of `sed`, `grep`, `tr`, `cut`, and `awk` in many situations. (#2296)
- Allow using escape as the Meta modifier key, by waiting after seeing an escape character wait up to 300ms for an additional character. This is consistent with readline (e.g. bash) and can be configured via the `fish_escape_delay_ms variable`. This allows using escape as the Meta modifier. (#1356)
- Add new directories for vendor functions and configuration snippets (#2500)
- A new `fish_realpath` builtin and associated `realpath` function should allow scripts to resolve path names via `realpath` regardless of whether there is an external command of that name; albeit with some limitations. See the associated documentation.
## Backward-incompatible changes
- Unmatched globs will now cause an error, except when used with `for`, `set` or `count` (#2719)
-`and` and `or` will now bind to the closest `if` or `while`, allowing compound conditions without `begin` and `end` (#1428)
-`set -ql` now searches up to function scope for variables (#2502)
-`status -f` will now behave the same when run as the main script or using `source` (#2643)
-`source` no longer puts the file name in `$argv` if no arguments are given (#139)
- History files are stored under the `XDG_DATA_HOME` hierarchy (by default, in `~/.local/share`), and existing history will be moved on first use (#744)
## Other notable fixes and improvements
- Fish no longer silences errors in config.fish (#2702)
- Directory autosuggestions will now descend as far as possible if there is only one child directory (#2531)
- Add support for bright colors (#1464)
- Allow Ctrl-J (\cj) to be bound separately from Ctrl-M (\cm) (#217)
- psub now has a "-s"/"–suffix" option to name the temporary file with that suffix
- Enable 24-bit colors on select terminals (#2495)
- Support for SVN status in the prompt (#2582)
- Mercurial and SVN support have been added to the Classic + Git (now Classic + VCS) prompt (via the new \__fish_vcs_prompt function) (#2592)
- export now handles variables with a "=" in the value (#2403)
- Fish no longer has a function called sgrep, freeing it for user customization (#2245)
- A rewrite of the completions for cd, fixing a few bugs (#2299, #2300, #562)
- Linux VTs now run in a simplified mode to avoid issues (#2311)
- The vi-bindings now inherit from the emacs bindings
- Fish will also execute `fish_user_key_bindings` when in vi-mode
-`funced` will now also check $VISUAL (#2268)
- A new `suspend` function (#2269)
- Subcommand completion now works better with split /usr (#2141)
- The command-not-found-handler can now be overridden by defining a function called `__fish_command_not_found_handler` in config.fish (#2332)
- A few fixes to the Sorin theme
- PWD shortening in the prompt can now be configured via the `fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length` variable, set to the length per path component (#2473)
- fish no longer requires `/etc/fish/config.fish` to correctly start, and now ships a skeleton file that only contains some documentation (#2799)
---
# fish 2.2.0 (released July 12, 2015)
### Significant changes ###
* Abbreviations: the new `abbr` command allows for interactively-expanded abbreviations, allowing quick access to frequently-used commands (#731).
* Vi mode: run `fish_vi_mode` to switch fish into the key bindings and prompt familiar to users of the Vi editor (#65).
* New inline and interactive pager, which will be familiar to users of zsh (#291).
* Underlying architectural changes: the `fishd` universal variable server has been removed as it was a source of many bugs and security problems. Notably, old fish sessions will not be able to communicate universal variable changes with new fish sessions. For best results, restart all running instances of `fish`.
* The web-based configuration tool has been redesigned, featuring a prompt theme chooser and other improvements.
* New German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese translations.
### Backward-incompatible changes ###
These are kept to a minimum, but either change undocumented features or are too hard to use in their existing forms. These changes may break existing scripts.
*`commandline` no longer interprets functions "in reverse", instead behaving as expected (#1567).
* The previously-undocumented `CMD_DURATION` variable is now set for all commands and contains the execution time of the last command in milliseconds (#1585). It is no longer exported to other commands (#1896).
*`if` / `else` conditional statements now return values consistent with the Single Unix Specification, like other shells (#1443).
* A new "top-level" local scope has been added, allowing local variables declared on the commandline to be visible to subsequent commands. (#1908)
### Other notable fixes and improvements ###
* New documentation design (#1662), which requires a Doxygen version 1.8.7 or newer to build.
* Fish now defines a default directory for other packages to provide completions. By default this is `/usr/share/fish/vendor-completions.d`; on systems with `pkgconfig` installed this path is discoverable with `pkg-config --variable completionsdir fish`.
* A new parser removes many bugs; all existing syntax should keep working.
* New `fish_preexec` and `fish_postexec` events are fired before and after job execution respectively (#1549).
* Unmatched wildcards no longer prevent a job from running. Wildcards used interactively will still print an error, but the job will proceed and the wildcard will expand to zero arguments (#1482).
* The `.` command is deprecated and the `source` command is preferred (#310).
*`bind` supports "bind modes", which allows bindings to be set for a particular named mode, to support the implementation of Vi mode.
* A new `export` alias, which behaves like other shells (#1833).
*`command` has a new `--search` option to print the name of the disk file that would be executed, like other shells' `command -v` (#1540).
*`commandline` has a new `--paging-mode` option to support the new pager.
*`complete` has a new `--wraps` option, which allows a command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command (#393), and `complete -e` now correctly erases completions (#380).
* Completions are now generated from manual pages by default on the first run of fish (#997).
*`fish_indent` can now produce colorized (`--ansi`) and HTML (`--html`) output (#1827).
*`functions --erase` now prevents autoloaded functions from being reloaded in the current session.
*`history` has a new `--merge` option, to incorporate history from other sessions into the current session (#825).
*`jobs` returns 1 if there are no active jobs (#1484).
*`read` has several new options:
*`--array` to break input into an array (#1540)
*`--null` to break lines on NUL characters rather than newlines (#1694)
*`--nchars` to read a specific number of characters (#1616)
*`--right-prompt` to display a right-hand-side prompt during interactive read (#1698).
*`type` has a new `-q` option to suppress output (#1540 and, like other shells, `type -a` now prints all matches for a command (#261).
* Pressing F1 now shows the manual page for the current command (#1063).
*`fish_title` functions have access to the arguments of the currently running argument as `$argv[1]` (#1542).
* The OS command-not-found handler is used on Arch Linux (#1925), nixOS (#1852), openSUSE and Fedora (#1280).
*`Alt`+`.` searches backwards in the token history, mapping to the same behavior as inserting the last argument of the previous command, like other shells (#89).
* The `SHLVL` environment variable is incremented correctly (#1634 & #1693).
fish 2.1.2 contains a workaround for a filesystem bug in Mac OS X Yosemite. #1859
Specifically, after installing fish 2.1.1 and then rebooting, "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility will report "Invalid number of hard links." We don't have any reports of data loss or other adverse consequences. fish 2.1.2 avoids triggering the bug, but does not repair an already affected filesystem. To repair the filesystem, you can boot into Recovery Mode and use Repair Disk from Disk Utility. Linux and versions of OS X prior to Yosemite are believed to be unaffected.
There are no other changes in this release.
---
# fish 2.1.1 (released September 26, 2014)
__Important:__ if you are upgrading, stop all running instances of `fishd` as soon as possible after installing this release; it will be restarted automatically. On most systems, there will be no further action required. Note that some environments (where `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is set), such as Fedora 20, will require a restart of all running fish processes before universal variables work as intended.
Distributors are highly encouraged to call `killall fishd`, `pkill fishd` or similar in installation scripts, or to warn their users to do so.
### Security fixes
* The fish_config web interface now uses an authentication token to protect requests and only responds to requests from the local machine with this token, preventing a remote code execution attack. (closing CVE-2014-2914). #1438
*`psub` and `funced` are no longer vulnerable to attacks which allow local privilege escalation and data tampering (closing CVE-2014-2906 and CVE-2014-3856). #1437
*`fishd` uses a secure path for its socket, preventing a local privilege escalation attack (closing CVE-2014-2905). #1436
*`__fish_print_packages` is no longer vulnerable to attacks which would allow local privilege escalation and data tampering (closing CVE-2014-3219). #1440
### Other fixes
*`fishd` now ignores SIGPIPE, fixing crashes using tools like GNU Parallel and which occurred more often as a result of the other `fishd` changes. #1084 & #1690
---
# fish 2.1.0
Significant Changes
-------------------
* **Tab completions will fuzzy-match files.** #568
When tab-completing a file, fish will first attempt prefix matches (`foo` matches `foobar`), then substring matches (`ooba` matches `foobar`), and lastly subsequence matches (`fbr` matches `foobar`). For example, in a directory with files foo1.txt, foo2.txt, foo3.txt…, you can type only the numeric part and hit tab to fill in the rest.
This feature is implemented for files and executables. It is not yet implemented for options (like `--foobar`), and not yet implemented across path components (like `/u/l/b` to match `/usr/local/bin`).
* **Redirections now work better across pipelines.** #110, #877
In particular, you can pipe stderr and stdout together, for example, with `cmd ^&1 | tee log.txt`, or the more familiar `cmd 2>&1 | tee log.txt`.
* **A single `%` now expands to the last job backgrounded.** #1008
Previously, a single `%` would pid-expand to either all backgrounded jobs, or all jobs owned by your user. Now it expands to the last job backgrounded. If no job is in the background, it will fail to expand. In particular, `fg %` can be used to put the most recent background job in the foreground.
Other Notable Fixes
-------------------
* alt-U and alt+C now uppercase and capitalize words, respectively. #995
* VTE based terminals should now know the working directory. #906
* The autotools build now works on Mavericks. #968
* The end-of-line binding (ctrl+E) now accepts autosuggestions. #932
* Directories in `/etc/paths` (used on OS X) are now prepended instead of appended, similar to other shells. #927
* Option-right-arrow (used for partial autosuggestion completion) now works on iTerm2. #920
* Tab completions now work properly within nested subcommands. #913
*`printf` supports \e, the escape character. #910
*`fish_config history` no longer shows duplicate items. #900
*`$fish_user_paths` is now prepended to $PATH instead of appended. #888
* Jobs complete when all processes complete. #876
For example, in previous versions of fish, `sleep 10 | echo Done` returns control immediately, because echo does not read from stdin. Now it does not complete until sleep exits (presumably after 10 seconds).
* Better error reporting for square brackets. #875
* fish no longer tries to add `/bin` to `$PATH` unless PATH is totally empty. #852
* History token substitution (alt-up) now works correctly inside subshells. #833
* Flow control is now disabled, freeing up ctrl-S and ctrl-Q for other uses. #814
* sh-style variable setting like `foo=bar` now produces better error messages. #809
* Commands with wildcards no longer produce autosuggestions. #785
* funced no longer freaks out when supplied with no arguments. #780
* fish.app now works correctly in a directory containing spaces. #774
* Tab completion cycling no longer occasionally fails to repaint. #765
* Comments now work in eval'd strings. #684
* History search (up-arrow) now shows the item matching the autosuggestion, if that autosuggestion was truncated. #650
* Ctrl-T now transposes characters, as in other shells. #128

# fish 2.0.0
Significant Changes
-------------------
* **Command substitutions now modify `$status`#547.**
Previously the exit status of command substitutions (like `(pwd)`) was ignored; however now it modifies $status. Furthermore, the `set` command now only sets $status on failure; it is untouched on success. This allows for the following pattern:
```sh
if set python_path (which python)
...
end
```
Because set does not modify $status on success, the if branch effectively tests whether `which` succeeded, and if so, whether the `set` also succeeded.
* **Improvements to $PATH handling.**
* There is a new variable, `$fish_user_paths`, which can be set universally, and whose contents are appended to $PATH #527
* /etc/paths and /etc/paths.d are now respected on OS X
* fish no longer modifies $PATH to find its own binaries
* **Long lines no longer use ellipsis for line breaks**, and copy and paste
should no longer include a newline even if the line was broken #300
* **New syntax for index ranges** (sometimes known as "slices") #212
* **fish now supports an `else if` statement** #134
* **Process and pid completion now works on OS X** #129
* **fish is now relocatable**, and no longer depends on compiled-in paths #125
* **fish now supports a right prompt (RPROMPT)** through the fish_right_prompt function #80
* **fish now uses posix_spawn instead of fork when possible**, which is much faster on BSD and OS X #11
Other Notable Fixes
-------------------

* Avoid calling getcwd on the main thread, as it can hang #696
* Control-D (forward delete) no longer stops at a period #667

* __fish_filter_mime no longer spews #628
* The --no-execute option to fish no longer falls over when reaching the end of a block #624
* fish_config knows how to find fish even if it's not in the $PATH #621
* A leading space now prevents writing to history, as is done in bash and zsh #615
* Hitting enter after a backslash only goes to a new line if it is followed by whitespace or the end of the line #613

* man page completions are now located in a new generated_completions directory, instead of your completions directory #576
* tab now clears autosuggestions #561
* tab completion from within a pair of quotes now attempts to "appropriate" the closing quote #552
* $EDITOR can now be a list: for example, `set EDITOR gvim -f`) #541
* `case` bodies are now indented #530
* The profile switch `-p` no longer crashes #517
* You can now control-C out of `read` #516
* `umask` is now functional on OS X #515
* Avoid calling getpwnam on the main thread, as it can hang #512
* Alt-F or Alt-right-arrow (Option-F or option-right-arrow) now accepts one word of an autosuggestion #435
* Setting fish as your login shell no longer kills OpenSUSE #367
* Backslashes now join lines, instead of creating multiple commands #347
* echo now implements the -e flag to interpret escapes #337
* When the last token in the user's input contains capital letters, use its case in preference to that of the autosuggestion #335
* Descriptions now have their own muted color #279
* Wildcards beginning with a . (for example, `ls .*`) no longer match . and .. #270
* Recursive wildcards now handle symlink loops #268
* You can now delete history items from the fish_config web interface #250
* The OS X build now weak links `wcsdup` and `wcscasecmp` #240
* fish now saves and restores the process group, which prevents certain processes from being erroneously reported as stopped #197
* funced now takes an editor option #187
* Alternating row colors are available in fish pager through `fish_pager_color_secondary` #186
* Universal variable values are now stored based on your MAC address, not your hostname #183

* All Python scripts now run correctly under both Python 2 and Python 3 #14
* The "accept autosuggestion" key can now be configured #19
* Autosuggestions will no longer suggest invalid commands #6

# fishfish Beta r2
Bug Fixes
---------
* **Implicit cd** is back, for paths that start with one or two dots, a slash, or a tilde.
* **Overrides of default functions should be fixed.** The "internalized scripts" feature is disabled for now.
* **Disabled delayed suspend.** This is a strange job-control feature of BSD systems, including OS X. Disabling it frees up Control Y for other purposes; in particular, for yank, which now works on OS X.
* **fish_indent is fixed.** In particular, the `funced` and `funcsave` functions work again.
* A SIGTERM now ends the whole execution stack again (resolving #13).
* Bumped the __fish_config_interactive version number so the default fish_color_autosuggestion kicks in.
* fish_config better handles combined term256 and classic colors like "555 yellow".
New Features
------------
* **A history builtin**, and associated interactive function that enables deleting history items. Example usage:
* Print all history items beginning with echo: `history --prefix echo`
* Print all history items containing foo: `history --contains foo`
Credit to @siteshwar for implementation. Thanks @siteshwar!

# fishfish Beta r1
## Scripting
* No changes! All existing fish scripts, config files, completions, etc. from trunk should continue to work.
## New Features
* **Autosuggestions**. Think URL fields in browsers. When you type a command, fish will suggest the rest of the command after the cursor, in a muted gray when possible. You can accept the suggestion with the right arrow key or Ctrl-F. Suggestions come from command history, completions, and some custom code for cd; there's a lot of potential for improvement here. The suggestions are computed on a background pthread, so they never slow down your typing. The autosuggestion feature is incredible. I miss it dearly every time I use anything else.
* **term256 support** where available, specifically modern xterms and OS X Lion. You can specify colors the old way ('set_color cyan') or by specifying RGB hex values ('set_color FF3333'); fish will pick the closest supported color. Some xterms do not advertise term256 support either in the $TERM or terminfo max_colors field, but nevertheless support it. For that reason, fish will default into using it on any xterm (but it can be disabled with an environment variable).
* **Web-based configuration** page. There is a new function 'fish_config'. This spins up a simple Python web server and opens a browser window to it. From this web page, you can set your shell colors and view your functions, variables, and history; all changes apply immediately to all running shells. Eventually all configuration ought to be supported via this mechanism (but in addition to, not instead of, command line mechanisms).
* **Man page completions**. There is a new function 'fish_update_completions'. This function reads all the man1 files from your manpath, removes the roff formatting, parses them to find the commands and options, and outputs fish completions into ~/.config/fish/completions. It won't overwrite existing completion files (except ones that it generated itself).
## Programmatic Changes
* fish is now entirely in C++. I have no particular love for C++, but it provides a ready memory-model to replace halloc. We've made an effort to keep it to a sane and portable subset (no C++11, no boost, no going crazy with templates or smart pointers), but we do use the STL and a little tr1.
* halloc is entirely gone, replaced by normal C++ ownership semantics. If you don't know what halloc is, well, now you have two reasons to be happy.
* All the crufty C data structures are entirely gone. array_list_t, priority_queue_t, hash_table_t, string_buffer_t have been removed and replaced by STL equivalents like std::vector, std::map, and std::wstring. A lot of the string handling now uses std::wstring instead of wchar_t *
* fish now spawns pthreads for tasks like syntax highlighting that require blocking I/O.
* History has been completely rewritten. History files now use an extensible YAML-style syntax. History "merging" (multiple shells writing to the same history file) now works better. There is now a maximum history length of about 250k items (256 * 1024).
* The parser has been "instanced," so you can now create more than one.
* Total #LoC has shrunk slightly even with the new features.
## Performance
* fish now runs syntax highlighting in a background thread, so typing commands is always responsive even on slow filesystems.
* echo, test, and pwd are now builtins, which eliminates many forks.
* The files in share/functions and share/completions now get 'internalized' into C strings that get compiled in with fish. This substantially reduces the number of files touched at startup. A consequence is that you cannot change these functions without recompiling, but often other functions depend on these "standard" functions, so changing them is perhaps not a good idea anyways.
Here are some system call counts for launching and then exiting fish with the default configuration, on OS X. The first column is fish trunk, the next column is with our changes, and the last column is bash for comparison. This data was collected via dtrace.
<table>
<tr> <th> <th> before <th> after <th> bash
<tr> <th> open <td> 9 <td> 4 <td> 5
<tr> <th> fork <td> 28 <td> 14 <td> 0
<tr> <th> stat <td> 131 <td> 85 <td> 11
<tr> <th> lstat <td> 670 <td> 0 <td> 0
<tr> <th> read <td> 332 <td> 80 <td> 4
<tr> <th> write <td> 172 <td> 149 <td> 0
</table>
The large number of forks relative to bash are due to fish's insanely expensive default prompt, which is unchanged in my version. If we switch to a prompt comparable to bash's (lame) default, the forks drop to 16 with trunk, 4 after our changes.
The large reduction in lstat() numbers is due to fish no longer needing to call ttyname() on OS X.
We've got some work to do to be as lean as bash, but we're on the right track.
This document provides guidelines for making changes to the fish-shell project. This includes rules for how to format the code, naming conventions, et cetera. Generally known as the style of the code. It also includes recommended best practices such as creating a Travis CI account so you can verify that your changes pass all the tests before making a pull request.
See the bottom of this document for help on installing the linting and style reformatting tools discussed in the following sections.
Fish source should limit the C++ features it uses to those available in C++11. It should not use exceptions.
Before introducing a new dependency, please make it optional with graceful failure if possible. Add
any new dependencies to the README.md under the *Running* and/or *Building* sections.
## Versioning
The fish version is constructed by the *build_tools/git_version_gen.sh* script. For developers the version is the branch name plus the output of `git describe --always --dirty`. Normally the main part of the version will be the closest annotated tag. Which itself is usually the most recent release number (e.g., `2.6.0`).
## Include What You Use
You should not depend on symbols being visible to a `*.cpp` module from `#include` statements inside another header file. In other words if your module does `#include "common.h"` and that header does `#include "signal.h"` your module should not assume the sub-include is present. It should instead directly `#include "signal.h"` if it needs any symbol from that header. That makes the actual dependencies much clearer. It also makes it easy to modify the headers included by a specific header file without having to worry that will break any module (or header) that includes a particular header.
To help enforce this rule the `make lint` (and `make lint-all`) command will run the [include-what-you-use](https://include-what-you-use.org/) tool. You can find the IWYU project on [github](https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use).
To install the tool on OS X you'll need to add a [formula](https://github.com/jasonmp85/homebrew-iwyu) then install it:
```
brew tap jasonmp85/iwyu
brew install iwyu
```
On Ubuntu you can install it via `apt-get`:
```
sudo apt-get install iwyu
```
## Lint Free Code
Automated analysis tools like cppcheck and oclint can point out potential bugs or code that is extremely hard to understand. They also help ensure the code has a consistent style and that it avoids patterns that tend to confuse people.
Ultimately we want lint free code. However, at the moment a lot of cleanup is required to reach that goal. For now simply try to avoid introducing new lint.
To make linting the code easy there are two make targets: `lint` and `lint-all`. The latter does exactly what the name implies. The former will lint any modified but not committed `*.cpp` files. If there is no uncommitted work it will lint the files in the most recent commit.
Fish has custom cppcheck rules in the file `.cppcheck.rule`. These help catch mistakes such as using `wcwidth()` rather than `fish_wcwidth()`. Please add a new rule if you find similar mistakes being made.
Fish also depends on `diff` and `expect` for its tests.
### Dealing With Lint Warnings
You are strongly encouraged to address a lint warning by refactoring the code, changing variable names, or whatever action is implied by the warning.
### Suppressing Lint Warnings
Once in a while the lint tools emit a false positive warning. For example, cppcheck might suggest a memory leak is present when that is not the case. To suppress that cppcheck warning you should insert a line like the following immediately prior to the line cppcheck warned about:
```
// cppcheck-suppress memleak // addr not really leaked
```
The explanatory portion of the suppression comment is optional. For other types of warnings replace "memleak" with the value inside the parenthesis (e.g., "nullPointerRedundantCheck") from a warning like the following:
```
[src/complete.cpp:1727]: warning (nullPointerRedundantCheck): Either the condition 'cmd_node' is redundant or there is possible null pointer dereference: cmd_node.
```
Suppressing oclint warnings is more complicated to describe so I'll refer you to the [OCLint HowTo](http://docs.oclint.org/en/latest/howto/suppress.html#annotations) on the topic.
## Ensuring Your Changes Conform to the Style Guides
The following sections discuss the specific rules for the style that should be used when writing fish code. To ensure your changes conform to the style rules you simply need to run
```
make style
```
before committing your change. That will run `git-clang-format` to rewrite only the lines you're modifying.
If you've already committed your changes that's okay since it will then check the files in the most recent commit. This can be useful after you've merged another person's change and want to check that it's style is acceptable. However, in that case it will run `clang-format` to ensure the entire file, not just the lines modified by the commit, conform to the style.
If you want to check the style of the entire code base run
```
make style-all
```
That command will refuse to restyle any files if you have uncommitted changes.
### Configuring Your Editor for Fish C++ Code
#### ViM
As of ViM 7.4 it does not recognize triple-slash comments as used by Doxygen and the OS X Xcode IDE to flag comments that explain the following C symbol. This means the `gq` key binding to reformat such comments doesn't behave as expected. You can fix that by adding the following to your vimrc:
```
autocmd Filetype c,cpp setlocal comments^=:///
```
If you use ViM I recommend the [vim-clang-format plugin](https://github.com/rhysd/vim-clang-format) by [@rhysd](https://github.com/rhysd).
You can also get ViM to provide reasonably correct behavior by installing
If you use ViM: Install [vim-fish](https://github.com/dag/vim-fish), make sure you have syntax and filetype functionality in `~/.vimrc`:
```
syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on
```
Then turn on some options for nicer display of fish scripts in `~/.vim/ftplugin/fish.vim`:
```
" Set up :make to use fish for syntax checking.
compiler fish
" Set this to have long lines wrap inside comments.
setlocal textwidth=79
" Enable folding of block structures in fish.
setlocal foldmethod=expr
```
If you use Emacs: Install [fish-mode](https://github.com/wwwjfy/emacs-fish) (also available in melpa and melpa-stable) and `(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)` for it (via a hook or in `use-package`s ":init" block). It can also be made to run fish_indent via e.g.
If you have a good reason for doing so you can tell `clang-format` to not reformat a block of code by enclosing it in comments like this:
```
// clang-format off
code to ignore
// clang-format on
```
However, as I write this there are no places in the code where we use this and I can't think of any legitimate reasons for exempting blocks of code from clang-format.
## Fish Script Style Guide
1. All fish scripts, such as those in the *share/functions* and *tests* directories, should be formatted using the `fish_indent` command.
1. Function names should be in all lowercase with words separated by underscores. Private functions should begin with an underscore. The first word should be `fish` if the function is unique to fish.
1. The first word of global variable names should generally be `fish` for public vars or `_fish` for private vars to minimize the possibility of name clashes with user defined vars.
## C++ Style Guide
1. The [Google C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html) forms the basis of the fish C++ style guide. There are two major deviations for the fish project. First, a four, rather than two, space indent. Second, line lengths up to 100, rather than 80, characters.
1. The `clang-format` command is authoritative with respect to indentation, whitespace around operators, etc.
1. All names in code should be `small_snake_case`. No Hungarian notation is used. The names for classes and structs should be followed by `_t`.
1. Always attach braces to the surrounding context.
1. Indent with spaces, not tabs and use four spaces per indent.
1. Comments should always use the C++ style; i.e., each line of the comment should begin with a `//` and should be limited to 100 characters. Comments that do not begin a line should be separated from the previous text by two spaces.
1. Comments that document the purpose of a function or class should begin with three slashes, `///`, so that OS X Xcode (and possibly other IDEs) will extract the comment and show it in the "Quick Help" window when the cursor is on the symbol.
## Testing
The source code for fish includes a large collection of tests. If you are making any changes to fish, running these tests is mandatory to make sure the behaviour remains consistent and regressions are not introduced. Even if you don't run the tests on your machine, they will still be run via the [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/fish-shell/fish-shell) service.
You are strongly encouraged to add tests when changing the functionality of fish, especially if you are fixing a bug to help ensure there are no regressions in the future (i.e., we don't reintroduce the bug).
### Local testing
The tests can be run on your local computer on all operating systems.
Running the tests is only supported from the autotools build and not xcodebuild. On OS X, you will need to install autoconf — we suggest using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install these tools.
```
autoconf
./configure
make test # or "gmake test" on BSD
```
### Travis CI Build and Test
The Travis Continuous Integration services can be used to test your changes using multiple configurations. This is the same service that the fish-shell project uses to ensure new changes haven't broken anything. Thus it is a really good idea that you leverage Travis CI before making a pull request to avoid potential embarrassment at breaking the build.
You will need to [fork the fish-shell repository on GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/), then setup Travis to test your changes before making a pull request.
1. [Sign in to Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/auth) with your GitHub account, accepting the GitHub access permissions confirmation.
1. Once you're signed in and your repositories are synchronized, go to your [profile page](https://travis-ci.org/profile) and enable the fish-shell repository.
1. Push your changes to GitHub.
You'll receive an email when the tests are complete telling you whether or not any tests failed.
You'll find the configuration used to control Travis in the `.travis.yml` file.
### Git hooks
Since developers sometimes forget to run the tests, it can be helpful to use git hooks (see githooks(5)) to automate it.
One possibility is a pre-push hook script like this one:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
#### A pre-push hook for the fish-shell project
# This will run the tests when a push to master is detected, and will stop that if the tests fail
# Save this as .git/hooks/pre-push and make it executable
protected_branch='master'
# Git gives us lines like "refs/heads/frombranch SOMESHA1 refs/heads/tobranch SOMESHA1"
# We're only interested in the branches
whileread from _ to _;do
if["x$to"="xrefs/heads/$protected_branch"];then
isprotected=1
fi
done
if["x$isprotected"= x1 ];then
echo"Running tests before push to master"
make test
RESULT=$?
if[$RESULT -ne 0];then
echo"Tests failed for a push to master, we can't let you do that" >&2
exit1
fi
fi
exit0
```
This will check if the push is to the master branch and, if it is, only allow the push if running `make test` succeeds. In some circumstances it may be advisable to circumvent this check with `git push --no-verify`, but usually that isn't necessary.
To install the hook, place the code in a new file `.git/hooks/pre-push` and make it executable.
### Coverity Scan
We use Coverity's static analysis tool which offers free access to open source projects. While access to the tool itself is restricted, fish-shell organization members should know that they can login [here](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/fish-shell-fish-shell?tab=overview) with their GitHub account. Currently, tests are triggered upon merging the `master` branch into `coverity_scan_master`. Even if you are not a fish developer, you can keep an eye on our statistics there.
## Installing the Required Tools
### Installing the Linting Tools
To install the lint checkers on Mac OS X using Homebrew:
```
brew tap oclint/formulae
brew install oclint
brew install cppcheck
```
To install the lint checkers on Debian-based Linux distributions:
```
sudo apt-get install clang
sudo apt-get install oclint
sudo apt-get install cppcheck
```
### Installing the Reformatting Tools
Mac OS X:
```
brew install clang-format
```
Debian-based:
```
apt-cache search clang-format
```
Above will list all the versions available. Pick the newest one available (3.9 for Ubuntu 16.10 as I write this) and install it:
Fish uses the GNU gettext library to translate messages from English to other languages. To create or update a translation run `make po/[LANGUAGE CODE].po` where `LANGUAGE CODE` is the two letter ISO 639-1 language code of the language you are translating to (e.g. `de` for German). Make sure that you have the `xgettext`, `msgfmt` and `msgmerge` commands installed in order to do this.
All messages in fish script must be enclosed in single or double quote characters. They must also be translated via a subcommand. This means that the following are **not** valid:
```
echo (_ hello)
_ "goodbye"
```
Above should be written like this instead:
```
echo (_ "hello")
echo (_ "goodbye")
```
Note that you can use either single or double quotes to enclose the message to be translated. You can also optionally include spaces after the opening parentheses and once again before the closing parentheses.
Be cautious about blindly updating an existing translation file. Trivial changes to an existing message (e.g., changing the punctuation) will cause existing translations to be removed, since the tools do literal string matching. Therefore, in general, you need to carefully review any recommended deletions.
Read the [translations wiki](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/wiki/Translations) for more information.

[fish](https://fishshell.com/) - the friendly interactive shell [](https://travis-ci.org/fish-shell/fish-shell)
================================================
fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for macOS, Linux, and the rest of the family.
fish includes features like syntax highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions
that just work, with no configuration required.
For more on fish's design philosophy, see the [design document](https://fishshell.com/docs/current/design.html).
## Quick Start
fish generally works like other shells, like bash or zsh. A few important differences can be found at <https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html> by searching for the magic phrase "unlike other shells".
Detailed user documentation is available by running `help` within fish, and also at <https://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html>
You can quickly play with fish right in your browser by clicking the button below:

## Getting fish
### macOS
fish can be installed:
* using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/): `brew install fish`
* using [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/): `sudo port install fish`
* using the [installer from fishshell.com](https://fishshell.com/)
* as a [standalone app from fishshell.com](https://fishshell.com/)
### Packages for Linux
Packages for Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS are available from the
PPA](https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-2), and can be installed using the
following commands:
```
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fish-shell/release-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fish
```
Instructions for other distributions may be found at [fishshell.com](https://fishshell.com).
### Windows
- On Windows 10, fish can be installed under the WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux with `sudo apt install fish` or from source with the instructions below.
- Fish can also be installed on all versions of Windows using [Cygwin](https://cygwin.com/) (from the **Shells** category).
### Building from source
If packages are not available for your platform, GPG-signed tarballs are available from
[fishshell.com](https://fishshell.com/) and [fish-shell on
GitHub](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases). See the *Building* section for instructions.
## Running fish
Once installed, run `fish` from your current shell to try fish out!
### Dependencies
Running fish requires:
* curses or ncurses (preinstalled on most \*nix systems)
* some common \*nix system utilities (currently `mktemp` and `seq`), in addition to the basic POSIX utilities
* gettext (library and `gettext` command), if compiled with translation support
The following optional features also have specific requirements:
* builtin commands that have the `--help` option or print usage messages require `nroff` and `ul`
* automated completion generation from manual pages requires Python (2.7+ or 3.3+) and possibly the
`backports.lzma` module for Python 2.7
* the `fish_config` web configuration tool requires Python (2.7+ or 3.3 +) and a web browser
* system clipboard integration (with the default Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X bindings) require either the
`xsel` or `pbcopy`/`pbpaste` utilities
* full completions for `yarn` and `bower` require the `jq` utility
* full completions for `yarn` and `npm` require the `all-the-package-names` NPM module
### Switching to fish
If you wish to use fish as your default shell, use the following command:
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
`chsh` will prompt you for your password and change your default shell. (Substitute `/usr/local/bin/fish` with whatever path fish was installed to, if it differs.)
Use the following command if fish isn't already added to `/etc/shells` to permit fish to be your login shell:
echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
To switch your default shell back, you can run `chsh -s /bin/bash` (substituting `/bin/bash` with `/bin/tcsh` or `/bin/zsh` as appropriate).
## Building
### Dependencies
Compiling fish requires:
* a C++11 compiler (g++ 4.8 or later, or clang 3.3 or later)
* any of CMake, GNU Make, or (on macOS only) Xcode
* a curses implementation such as ncurses (headers and libraries)
* PCRE2 (headers and libraries) - a copy is included with fish
* gettext (headers and libraries) - optional, for translation support
Additionally, if compiling fish with GNU Make from git (that is, not from an officially released tarball), `autoconf` 2.60+ and `automake` 1.13+ are required. Doxygen (1.8.7 or later) is also optionally required to build the documentation from a cloned git repository.
### Building from source (all platforms)
#### Using CMake (preferred)
```bash
mkdir build;cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
```
#### Using autotools
```bash
autoreconf --no-recursive #if building from Git
./configure
make
sudo make install
```
### Building from source (macOS only)
* Build the `base` target in Xcode
* Run the fish executable, for example, in `DerivedData/fish/Build/Products/Debug/base/bin/fish`
To build and install fish with Xcode on macOS, execute the following in a terminal:
```bash
xcodebuild install
sudo ditto /tmp/fish.dst /
sudo make install-doc
```
### Help, it didn't build!
If fish reports that it could not find curses, try installing a curses development package and build again.

The fish documentation has been updated to support Doxygen 1.8.7+, and while the main benefit of this change is extensive Markdown support, the addition of a fish lexicon and syntax filter, combined with semantic markup rules allows for automatic formatting enhancements across the HTML user_docs and man pages.
Initially my motivation was to fix a problem with long options ([Issue #1557](https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1557) on GitHub), but as I worked on fixing the issue I realised there was an opportunity to simplify, reinforce and clarify the current documentation, hopefully making further contribution easier and cleaner, while allowing the documentation examples to presented more clearly with less author effort.
While the documentation is pretty robust to variations in the documentation source, adherence to the following style guide will help keep the already excellent documentation in good shape moving forward.
## Line breaks and wrapping
Contrary to the rest of the fish source code, the documentation greatly benefits from the use of long lines and soft wrapping. Doxygen is able to treat paragraphs as complete blocks. The semantic filter can see complete lines when deciding on how to apply syntax highlighting. In advanced pagers, such as 'most', man pages will consistently wrap to the width of the user's console.
## Doxygen special commands and aliases
While Markdown syntax forms the basis of the documentation content, there are some exceptions that require the use of Doxygen special commands. On the whole, Doxygen commands should be avoided, especially inline word formatting such as \\c as this would allow Doxygen to make unhelpful assumptions, such as converting double dashes (\--) to n-dashes (–).
### Structure: \\page, \\section and \\subsection
Use of Doxygen sections markers are important, as these determine what will be eventually output as a web page, man page or included in the developer docs.
Currently the make process for the documentation is quite convoluted, but basically the HTML docs are produced from a single, compiled file, doc.h. This contains a number of \\page markers that produce the various pages used in the documentation. The format of a \\page mark is:
\page universally_unique_page_id Page title
The source files that contain the page markers are currently:
- __index.hdr.in__: Core documentation
- __commands.hdr.in__: Individual commands
- __tutorial.hdr__: Tutorial
- __design.hdr__: Design document
- __faq.hdr__: Frequently Asked Questions
- __license.hdr__: Fish and 3rd party licences
Unless there is a _VERY_ good reason and developer consensus, new pages should never be added.
The rest of the documentation is structured using \\section and \\subsection markers. Most of the source files (listed above) contain their full content, the exception being commands, which are separated out into source text files in the doc_src directory. These files are concatenated into one file, so each one starts with a \\section declaration. The synopsis, description and examples (if present) are declared as \\subsections. The format of these marks is practically identical to the page mark.
\section universally_unique_section_id Section title
\subsection universally_unique_subsection_id Subsection title
Each page, section and subsection id _must_ be unique across the whole of the documentation, otherwise Doxygen will issue a warning.
### Semantic markup: the \\fish .. \\endfish block
While Doxygen has support for \\code..\\endcode blocks with enhanced markup and syntax colouring, it only understands the core Doxygen languages: C, C++, Objective C, Java, PHP, Python, Tcl and Fortran. To enhance Fish's syntax presentation, use the special \\fish..\\endfish blocks instead.
Text placed in this block will be parsed by Doxygen using the included lexicon filter (see lexicon_filter.in) as a Doxygen input filter. The filter is built during make so that it can pick up information on builtins, functions and shell commands mentioned in completions and apply markup to keywords found inside the \\fish block.
Basically, preformatted plain text inside the \\fish block is fed through the filter and is returned marked up so that Doxygen aliases can convert it back to a presentable form, according to the output document type.
For instance:
`echo hello world`
is transformed into:
`@cmnd{echo} @args{hello} @args{world}`
which is then transformed by Doxygen into an HTML version (`make doc`):
In older browsers, it was easy to set the fonts used for the three basic type styles (serif, sans-serif and monospace). Modern browsers have removed these options in their respective quests for simplification, assuming the content author will provide suitable styles for the content in the site's CSS, or the end user will provide overriding styles manually. Doxygen's default styling is very simple and most users will just accept this default.
I've tried to use a sensible set of fonts in the documentation's CSS based on 'good' terminal fonts and as a result the first preference font used throughout the documentation is '[DejaVu](https://dejavu-fonts.github.io)'. The rationale behind this is that while DejaVu is getting a little long in the tooth, it still provides the most complete support across serif, sans-serif and monospace styles (giving a well balanced feel and consistent [x-height](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-height)), has the widest support for extended Unicode characters and has a free, permissive licenses (though it's still incompatible with GPLv2, though arguably less so than the SIL Open Font license, though this is a moot point when using it solely in the docs).
#### Fonts inside \\fish blocks and \`backticks\`
As the point of these constructs is to make fish's syntax clearer to the user, it makes sense to mimic what the user will see in the console, therefore any content is formatted using the monospaced style, specifically monospaced fonts are chosen in the following order:
1.__DejaVu Sans Mono__: Explained above. [[↓](https://dejavu-fonts.github.io)]
2.__Source Code Pro__: Monospaced code font, part of Adobe's free Edge Web Fonts. [[↓](https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com)]
5.__Consolas__: Modern Microsoft supplied console font.
6.__Monaco__: Apple supplied console font since 1984!
7.__Lucida Console__: Generic mono terminal font, standard in many OS's and distros.
8.__monospace__: Catchall style. Chooses default monospaced font, often Courier.
9.__fixed__: As above, more often used on mobile devices.
#### General Fonts
1.__DejaVu Sans__: As above.[[↓](https://dejavu-fonts.github.io)]
2.__Roboto__: Elegant Google free font and is Doxygen's default [[↓](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto)]
3.__Lucida Grande__: Default Apple OS X content font.
4.__Calibri__: Default Microsoft Office font (since 2007).
5.__Verdana__: Good general font found in a lot of OSs.
6.__Helvetica Neue__: Better spaced and balanced Helvetica/Arial variant.
7.__Helvetica__: Standard humanist typeface found almost everywhere.
8.__Arial__: Microsoft's Helvetica.
9.__sans-serif__: Catchall style. Chooses default sans-serif typeface, often Helvetica.
The ordering of the fonts is important as it's designed to allow the documentation to settle into a number of different identities according to the fonts available. If you have the complete DejaVu family installed, then the docs are presented using that, and if your Console is set up to use the same fonts, presentation will be completely consistent.
On OS X, with nothing extra installed, the docs will default to Menlo and Lucida Grande giving a Mac feel. Under Windows, it will default to using Consolas and Calibri on recent versions, giving a modern Windows style.
#### Other sources:
- [Font Squirrel](https://www.fontsquirrel.com): Good source of open source font packages.
### Choosing a CLI style: using a \\fish{style} block
By default, when output as HTML, a \\fish block uses syntax colouring suited to the style of the documentation rather than trying to mimic the terminal. The block has a light, bordered background and a colour scheme that 'suggests' what the user would see in a console.
Additional stying can be applied adding a style declaration:
\fish{additional_style [another_style...]}
...
\endfish
This will translate to classes applied to the `<div>` tag, like so:
<div class="fish additional_style another_style">
...
</div>
The various classes are defined in `doc_src/user_doc.css` and new style can be simply added
The documentation currently defines a couple of additional styles:
- __cli-dark__: Used in the _tutorial_ and _FAQ_ to simulate a dark background terminal, with fish's default colours (slightly tweaked for legibility in the browser).
- __synopsis__: A simple colour theme helpful for displaying the logical 'summary' of a command's syntax, options and structure.
## Markdown
Apart from the exceptions discussed above, the rest of the documentation now supports the use of Markdown. As such the use of Doxygen special commands for HTML tags is unnecessary.
There are a few exceptions and extensions to the Markdown [standard](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) that are documented in the Doxygen [documentation](https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/markdown.html).
### \`Backticks\`
As is standard in Markdown and 'Github Flavoured Markdown' (GFM), backticks can be used to denote inline technical terms in the documentation, `like so`. In the documentation this will set the font to the monospaced 'console' typeface and will cause the enclosed term to stand out.
However, fenced code blocks using 4 spaces or 3 backticks (\`\`\`) should be avoided as Doxygen will interpret these as \\code blocks and try to apply standard syntax colouring, which doesn't work so well for fish examples. Use `\fish..\endfish` blocks instead.
### Lists
Standard Markdown list rules apply, but as Doxygen will collapse white space on output, combined with the use of long lines, it's a good idea to include an extra new line between long list items to assist future editing.
## Special cases
The following can be used in \\fish blocks to render some fish scenarios. These are mostly used in the tutorial when an interactive situation needs to be displayed.
### Custom formatting tags
```html
<u>: <u>These words are underlined.</u>
<s>: auto<s>suggestion</s>.
<m>: <m>Matched</m> items, such as tab completions.
<sm>: Matched items <sm>searched</sm> for, like grep results.
<bs>: Render the contents with a preceding backslash. Useful when presenting output.
<eror>: <eror>This would be shown as an error. (Note eror, not error).</eror>
<asis>: <asis>This text will not be parsed for fish markup.</asis>
<outp>: <outp>This would be rendered as command/script output.</outp>
{{ and }}: Required when wanting curly braces in regular expression example.
```
### Prompts and cursors
```html
>_: Display a basic prompt.
~>_: Display a prompt with a the home directory as the current working directory.
___ (3 underscores): Display a cursor.
```
### Keyboard shortcuts: @key{} and @cursor_key{}
Graphical keyboard shortcuts can be defined using the following special commands. These allow for the different text requirements across the html and man pages. The HTML uses CSS to create a keyboard style, whereas the man page would display the key as text.
-`@key{lable}`
Displays a key with a purely textual lable, such as: 'Tab', 'Page Up', 'Page Down', 'Home', 'End', 'F1', 'F19' and so on.
-`@key{modifier,lable}`
Displays a keystroke requiring the use of a 'modifier' key, such as 'Control-A', 'Shift-X', 'Alt-Tab' etc.
-`@key{modifier,entity,lable}`
Displays a keystroke using a graphical entity, such as an arrow symbol for cursor key based shortcuts.
-`@cursor_key{entity,lable}`
A special case for cursor keys, when no modifier is needed. i.e. `@cursor_key{↑,up}` for the up arrow key.
Some useful Unicode/HTML5 entities:
- Up arrow: `↑`
- Down arrow: `↓`
- Left arrow: `←`
- Right arrow `→`
- Shift: `⇧`
- Tab: `⇥`
- Mac option: `⌥`
- Mac command: `⌘`
## Notes
### Doxygen
Tested on:
- Ubuntu 14.04 with Doxygen 1.8.8, built from [GitHub source](https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen.git).
- CentOS 6.5 with Doxygen 1.8.8, built from [GitHub source](https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen.git).
- Mac OS X 10.9 with Homebrew install Doxygen 1.8.7 and 1.8.8.
Graphviz was also installed in all the above testing.
Doxygen 1.8.6 and lower do not have the \\htmlonly[block] directive which fixes a multitude of problems in the rendering of the docs. In Doxygen 1.8.7 the list of understood HTML entities was greatly increased. I tested earlier versions and many little issues returned.
As fish ships with pre-built documentation, I don't see this as an issue.
### Updated Configure/Makefile
- Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 6.5 and Mac OS X 10.9.
- Makefile has GNU/BSD sed/grep detection.
### HTML output
- The output HTML is HTML5 compliant, but should quickly and elegantly degrade on older browsers without losing basic structure.
- The CSS avoids the use or browser specific extensions (i.e. -webkit, -moz etc), using the W3C HTML5 standard instead.
- It's been tested in Chrome 37.0 and Firefox 32.0 on Mac OS X 10.9 (+Safari 7), Windows 8.1 (+Internet Explorer 11) and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.
- My assumption is basically that if someone cares enough to want to install fish, they'll be keeping a browser current.
### Man page output
- Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 6.5 and Mac OS X 10.9.
- Output is substantially cleaner.
- Tested in cat, less, more and most pagers using the following fish script:
```
function manTest --description 'Test manpage' --argument page
set -l pager
for i in $argv
switch $i
case "-l"
set pager -P '/usr/bin/less -is'
case "-m"
set pager -P '/usr/bin/more -s'
case "-c"
set pager -P '/bin/cat'
end
end
man $pager ~/Projects/OpenSource/fish-shell/share/man/man1/$page.1
end
# Assumes 'most' is the default system pager.
# NOT PORTABLE! Paths would be need to be updated on other systems.
```
#### Author: Mark Griffiths [@GitHub](https://github.com/MarkGriffiths)
`abbr` manages abbreviations - user-defined words that are replaced with longer phrases after they are entered.
For example, a frequently-run command like `git checkout` can be abbreviated to `gco`. After entering `gco` and pressing @key{Space} or @key{Enter}, the full text `git checkout` will appear in the command line.
\subsection abbr-options Options
The following options are available:
- `-a WORD EXPANSION` or `--add WORD EXPANSION` Adds a new abbreviation, causing WORD to be expanded to PHRASE.
- `-r OLD_WORD NEW_WORD` or `--rename OLD_WORD NEW_WORD` Renames an abbreviation, from OLD_WORD to NEW_WORD.
- `-s` or `--show` Show all abbreviations in a manner suitable for export and import.
- `-l` or `--list` Lists all abbreviated words.
- `-e WORD` or `--erase WORD` Erase the abbreviation WORD.
In addition, when adding abbreviations:
- `-g` or `--global` to use a global variable.
- `-U` or `--universal` to use a universal variable (default).
See the "Internals" section for more on them.
\subsection abbr-example Examples
\fish
abbr -a -g gco git checkout
\endfish
Add a new abbreviation where `gco` will be replaced with `git checkout` global to the current shell. This abbreviation will not be automatically visible to other shells unless the same command is run in those shells (such as when executing the commands in config.fish).
\fish
abbr -a -U l less
\endfish
Add a new abbreviation where `l` will be replaced with `less` universal so all shells. Note that you omit the `-U` since it is the default.
\fish
abbr -r gco gch
\endfish
Renames an existing abbreviation from `gco` to `gch`.
\fish
abbr -e gco
\endfish
Erase the `gco` abbreviation.
\fish
ssh another_host abbr -s | source
\endfish
Import the abbreviations defined on another_host over SSH.
\subsection abbr-internals Internals
Each abbreviation is stored in its own global or universal variable. The name consists of the prefix `_fish_abbr_` followed by the WORD after being transformed by `string escape style=var`. The WORD cannot contain a space but all other characters are legal.
Defining an abbreviation with global scope is slightly faster than universal scope (which is the default). But in general you'll only want to use the global scope when defining abbreviations in a startup script like `~/.config/fish/config.fish` like this:
\fish
if status --is-interactive
abbr --add --global first 'echo my first abbreviation'
abbr --add --global second 'echo my second abbreviation'
abbr --add --global gco git checkout
# etcetera
end
\endfish
You can create abbreviations interactively and they will be visible to other fish sessions if you use the `-U` or `--universal` flag or don't explicitly specify the scope and the abbreviation isn't already defined with global scope. If you want it to be visible only to the current shell use the `-g` or `--global` flag.
`alias` is a simple wrapper for the `function` builtin, which creates a function wrapping a command. It has similar syntax to POSIX shell `alias`. For other uses, it is recommended to define a <a href='#function'>function</a>.
`fish` marks functions that have been created by `alias` by including the command used to create them in the function description. You can list `alias`-created functions by running `alias` without arguments. They must be erased using `functions -e`.
- `NAME` is the name of the alias
- `DEFINITION` is the actual command to execute. The string `$argv` will be appended.
You cannot create an alias to a function with the same name. Note that spaces need to be escaped in the call to `alias` just like at the command line, _even inside quoted parts_.
The following options are available:
- `-h` or `--help` displays help about using this command.
- `-s` or `--save` Automatically save the function created by the alias into your fish configuration directory using <a href='#funcsave'>funcsave</a>.
\subsection alias-example Example
The following code will create `rmi`, which runs `rm` with additional arguments on every invocation.
\fish
alias rmi="rm -i"
# This is equivalent to entering the following function:
function rmi --wraps rm --description 'alias rmi=rm -i'
rm -i $argv
end
# This needs to have the spaces escaped or "Chrome.app..." will be seen as an argument to "/Applications/Google":
alias chrome='/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome banana'
\section and and - conditionally execute a command
\subsection and-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
COMMAND1; and COMMAND2
\endfish
\subsection and-description Description
`and` is used to execute a command if the previous command was successful (returned a status of 0).
`and` statements may be used as part of the condition in an <a href="#if">`if`</a> or <a href="#while">`while`</a> block. See the documentation for <a href="#if">`if`</a> and <a href="#while">`while`</a> for examples.
`and` does not change the current exit status itself, but the command it runs most likely will. The exit status of the last foreground command to exit can always be accessed using the <a href="index.html#variables-status">$status</a> variable.
\subsection and-example Example
The following code runs the `make` command to build a program. If the build succeeds, `make`'s exit status is 0, and the program is installed. If either step fails, the exit status is 1, and `make clean` is run, which removes the files created by the build process.
\section argparse argparse - parse options passed to a fish script or function
\subsection argparse-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
argparse [OPTIONS] OPTION_SPEC... -- [ARG...]
\endfish
\subsection argparse-description Description
This command makes it easy for fish scripts and functions to handle arguments in a manner 100% identical to how fish builtin commands handle their arguments. You pass a sequence of arguments that define the options recognized, followed by a literal `--`, then the arguments to be parsed (which might also include a literal `--`). More on this in the <a href="#argparse-usage">usage</a> section below.
Each OPTION_SPEC can be written in the domain specific language <a href="#argparse-option-specs">described below</a> or created using the companion <a href="#fish-opt">`fish_opt`</a> command. All OPTION_SPECs must appear after any argparse flags and before the `--` that separates them from the arguments to be parsed.
Each option that is seen in the ARG list will result in a var name of the form `_flag_X`, where `X` is the short flag letter and the long flag name. The OPTION_SPEC always requires a short flag even if it can't be used. So there will always be `_flag_X` var set using the short flag letter if the corresponding short or long flag is seen. The long flag name var (e.g., `_flag_help`) will only be defined, obviously, if the OPTION_SPEC includes a long flag name.
For example `_flag_h` and `_flag_help` if `-h` or `--help` is seen. The var will be set with local scope (i.e., as if the script had done `set -l _flag_X`). If the flag is a boolean (that is, does not have an associated value) the values are the short and long flags seen. If the option is not a boolean flag the values will be zero or more values corresponding to the values collected when the ARG list is processed. If the flag was not seen the flag var will not be set.
\subsection argparse-options Options
The following `argparse` options are available. They must appear before all OPTION_SPECs:
- `-n` or `--name` is the command name to insert into any error messages. If you don't provide this value `argparse` will be used.
- `-x` or `--exclusive` should be followed by a comma separated list of short of long options that are mutually exclusive. You can use this option more than once to define multiple sets of mutually exclusive options.
- `-N` or `--min-args` is followed by an integer that defines the minimum number of acceptable non-option arguments. The default is zero.
- `-X` or `--max-args` is followed by an integer that defines the maximum number of acceptable non-option arguments. The default is infinity.
- `-s` or `--stop-nonopt` causes scanning the arguments to stop as soon as the first non-option argument is seen. Using this arg is equivalent to calling the C function `getopt_long()` with the short options starting with a `+` symbol. This is sometimes known as "POSIXLY CORRECT". If this flag is not used then arguments are reordered (i.e., permuted) so that all non-option arguments are moved after option arguments. This mode has several uses but the main one is to implement a command that has subcommands.
- `-h` or `--help` displays help about using this command.
\subsection argparse-usage Usage
Using this command involves passing two sets of arguments separated by `--`. The first set consists of one or more option specifications (`OPTION_SPEC` above) and options that modify the behavior of `argparse`. These must be listed before the `--` argument. The second set are the arguments to be parsed in accordance with the option specifications. They occur after the `--` argument and can be empty. More about this below but here is a simple example that might be used in a function named `my_function`:
If `$argv` is empty then there is nothing to parse and `argparse` returns zero to indicate success. If `$argv` is not empty then it is checked for flags `-h`, `--help`, `-n` and `--name`. If they are found they are removed from the arguments and local variables (more on this <a href="argparse-local-variables">below</a>) are set so the script can determine which options were seen. Assuming `$argv` doesn't have any errors, such as a missing mandatory value for an option, then `argparse` exits with status zero. Otherwise it writes appropriate error messages to stderr and exits with a status of one.
The `--` argument is required. You do not have to include any arguments after the `--` but you must include the `--`. For example, this is acceptable:
\fish
set -l argv
argparse 'h/help' 'n/name' -- $argv
\endfish
But this is not:
\fish
set -l argv
argparse 'h/help' 'n/name' $argv
\endfish
The first `--` seen is what allows the `argparse` command to reliably separate the option specifications from the command arguments.
- A short flag letter (which is mandatory). It must be an alphanumeric or "#". The "#" character is special and means that a flag of the form `-123` is valid. The short flag "#" must be followed by "-" (since the short name isn't otherwise valid since `_flag_#` is not a valid var name) and must be followed by a long flag name with no modifiers.
- A `/` if the short flag can be used by someone invoking your command else `-` if it should not be exposed as a valid short flag. If there is no long flag name these characters should be omitted. You can also specify a '#' to indicate the short and long flag names can be used and the value can be specified as an implicit int; i.e., a flag of the form `-NNN`.
- A long flag name which is optional. If not present then only the short flag letter can be used.
- Nothing if the flag is a boolean that takes no argument or is an implicit int flag, else
- `=` if it requires a value and only the last instance of the flag is saved, else
- `=?` it takes an optional value and only the last instance of the flag is saved, else
- `=+` if it requires a value and each instance of the flag is saved.
- Optionally a `!` followed by fish script to validate the value. Typically this will be a function to run. If the return status is zero the value for the flag is valid. If non-zero the value is invalid. Any error messages should be written to stdout (not stderr). See the section on <a href="#arparse-validation">Flag Value Validation</a> for more information.
See the <a href="#fish-opt">`fish_opt`</a> command for a friendlier but more verbose way to create option specifications.
In the following examples if a flag is not seen when parsing the arguments then the corresponding _flag_X var(s) will not be set.
\subsection argparse-validation Flag Value Validation
It is common to want to validate the the value provided for an option satisfies some criteria. For example, that it is a valid integer within a specific range. You can always do this after `argparse` returns but you can also request that `argparse` perform the validation by executing arbitrary fish script. To do so simply append an `!` (exclamation-mark) then the fish script to be run. When that code is executed three vars will be defined:
- `_argparse_cmd` will be set to the value of the value of the `argparse --name` value.
- `_flag_name` will be set to the short or long flag that being processed.
- `_flag_value` will be set to the value associated with the flag being processed.
If you do this via a function it should be defined with the `--no-scope-shadowing` flag. Otherwise it won't have access to those variables.
The script should write any error messages to stdout, not stderr. It should return a status of zero if the flag value is valid otherwise a non-zero status to indicate it is invalid.
Fish ships with a `_validate_int` function that accepts a `--min` and `--max` flag. Let's say your command accepts a `-m` or `--max` flag and the minimum allowable value is zero and the maximum is 5. You would define the option like this: `m/max=!_validate_int --min 0 --max 5`. The default if you just call `_validate_int` without those flags is to simply check that the value is a valid integer with no limits on the min or max value allowed.
\subsection argparse-optspec-examples Example OPTION_SPECs
Some OPTION_SPEC examples:
- `h/help` means that both `-h` and `--help` are valid. The flag is a boolean and can be used more than once. If either flag is used then `_flag_h` and `_flag_help` will be set to the count of how many times either flag was seen.
- `h-help` means that only `--help` is valid. The flag is a boolean and can be used more than once. If the long flag is used then `_flag_h` and `_flag_help` will be set to the count of how many times the long flag was seen.
- `n/name=` means that both `-n` and `--name` are valid. It requires a value and can be used at most once. If the flag is seen then `_flag_n` and `_flag_name` will be set with the single mandatory value associated with the flag.
- `n/name=?` means that both `-n` and `--name` are valid. It accepts an optional value and can be used at most once. If the flag is seen then `_flag_n` and `_flag_name` will be set with the value associated with the flag if one was provided else it will be set with no values.
- `n-name=+` means that only `--name` is valid. It requires a value and can be used more than once. If the flag is seen then `_flag_n` and `_flag_name` will be set with the values associated with each occurrence of the flag.
- `x` means that only `-x` is valid. It is a boolean can can be used more than once. If it is seen then `_flag_x` will be set to the count of how many times the flag was seen.
- `x=`, `x=?`, and `x=+` are similar to the n/name examples above but there is no long flag alternative to the short flag `-x`.
- `x-` is not valid since there is no long flag name and therefore the short flag, `-x`, has to be usable.
- `#-max` means that flags matching the regex "^--?\d+$" are valid. When seen they are assigned to the variable `_flag_max`. This allows any valid positive or negative integer to be specified by prefixing it with a single "-". Many commands support this idiom. For example `head -3 /a/file` to emit only the first three lines of /a/file.
- `n#max` means that flags matching the regex "^--?\d+$" are valid. When seen they are assigned to the variables `_flag_n` and `_flag_max`. This allows any valid positive or negative integer to be specified by prefixing it with a single "-". Many commands support this idiom. For example `head -3 /a/file` to emit only the first three lines of /a/file. You can also specify the value using either flag: `-n NNN` or `--max NNN` in this example.
After parsing the arguments the `argv` var is set with local scope to any values not already consumed during flag processing. If there are not unbound values the var is set but `count $argv` will be zero.
If an error occurs during argparse processing it will exit with a non-zero status and print error messages to stderr.
\subsection argparse-notes Notes
Prior to the addition of this builtin command in the 2.7.0 release there were two main ways to parse the arguments passed to a fish script or function. One way was to use the OS provided `getopt` command. The problem with that is that the GNU and BSD implementations are not compatible. Which makes using that external command difficult other than in trivial situations. The other way is to iterate over `$argv` and use the fish `switch` statement to decide how to handle the argument. That, however, involves a huge amount of boilerplate code. It is also borderline impossible to implement the same behavior as builtin commands.
A block allows the introduction of a new variable scope, redirection of the input or output of a set of commands as a group, or to specify precedence when using the conditional commands like `and`.
The block is unconditionally executed. `begin; ...; end` is equivalent to `if true; ...; end`.
`begin` does not change the current exit status itself. After the block has completed, `$status` will be set to the status returned by the most recent command.
\subsection begin-example Example
The following code sets a number of variables inside of a block scope. Since the variables are set inside the block and have local scope, they will be automatically deleted when the block ends.
\fish
begin
set -l PIRATE Yarrr
...
end
echo $PIRATE
# This will not output anything, since the PIRATE variable
# went out of scope at the end of the block
\endfish
In the following code, all output is redirected to the file out.html.
`bind` adds a binding for the specified key sequence to the specified command.
SEQUENCE is the character sequence to bind to. These should be written as <a href="index.html#escapes">fish escape sequences</a>. For example, because pressing the Alt key and another character sends that character prefixed with an escape character, Alt-based key bindings can be written using the `\e` escape. For example, @key{Alt,w} can be written as `\ew`. The control character can be written in much the same way using the `\c` escape, for example @key{Control,X} (^X) can be written as `\cx`. Note that Alt-based key bindings are case sensitive and Control-based key bindings are not. This is a constraint of text-based terminals, not `fish`.
The default key binding can be set by specifying a `SEQUENCE` of the empty string (that is, ```''``` ). It will be used whenever no other binding matches. For most key bindings, it makes sense to use the `self-insert` function (i.e. ```bind '' self-insert```) as the default keybinding. This will insert any keystrokes not specifically bound to into the editor. Non- printable characters are ignored by the editor, so this will not result in control sequences being printable.
If the `-k` switch is used, the name of the key (such as 'down', 'up' or 'backspace') is used instead of a sequence. The names used are the same as the corresponding curses variables, but without the 'key_' prefix. (See `terminfo(5)` for more information, or use `bind --key-names` for a list of all available named keys.) If used in conjunction with the `-s` switch, `bind` will silently ignore bindings to named keys that are not found in termcap for the current `$TERMINAL`, otherwise a warning is emitted.
`COMMAND` can be any fish command, but it can also be one of a set of special input functions. These include functions for moving the cursor, operating on the kill-ring, performing tab completion, etc. Use `bind --function-names` for a complete list of these input functions.
When `COMMAND` is a shellscript command, it is a good practice to put the actual code into a <a href="#function">function</a> and simply bind to the function name. This way it becomes significantly easier to test the function while editing, and the result is usually more readable as well.
If a script produces output, it should finish by calling `commandline -f repaint` to tell fish that a repaint is in order.
When multiple `COMMAND`s are provided, they are all run in the specified order when the key is pressed. Note that special input functions cannot be combined with ordinary shell script commands. The commands must be entirely a sequence of special input functions (from `bind -f`) or all shell script commands (i.e., valid fish script).
If no `SEQUENCE` is provided, all bindings (or just the bindings in the specified `MODE`) are printed. If `SEQUENCE` is provided without `COMMAND`, just the binding matching that sequence is printed.
To save custom keybindings, put the `bind` statements into <a href="index.html#initialization">config.fish</a>. Alternatively, fish also automatically executes a function called `fish_user_key_bindings` if it exists.
Key bindings may use "modes", which mimics Vi's modal input behavior. The default mode is "default", and every bind applies to a single mode. The mode can be viewed/changed with the `$fish_bind_mode` variable.
The following parameters are available:
- `-k` or `--key` Specify a key name, such as 'left' or 'backspace' instead of a character sequence
- `-K` or `--key-names` Display a list of available key names. Specifying `-a` or `--all` includes keys that don't have a known mapping
- `-f` or `--function-names` Display a list of available input functions
- `-L` or `--list-modes` Display a list of defined bind modes
- `-M MODE` or `--mode MODE` Specify a bind mode that the bind is used in. Defaults to "default"
- `-m NEW_MODE` or `--sets-mode NEW_MODE` Change the current mode to `NEW_MODE` after this binding is executed
- `-e` or `--erase` Erase the binding with the given sequence and mode instead of defining a new one. Multiple sequences can be specified with this flag. Specifying `-a` or `--all` with `-M` or `--mode` erases all binds in the given mode regardless of sequence. Specifying `-a` or `--all` without `-M` or `--mode` erases all binds in all modes regardless of sequence.
- `-a` or `--all` See `--erase` and `--key-names`
- `--preset` and `--user` specify if bind should operate on user or preset bindings. User bindings take precedence over preset bindings when fish looks up mappings. By default, all `bind` invocations work on the "user" level except for listing, which will show both levels. All invocations except for inserting new bindings can operate on both levels at the same time. `--preset` should only be used in full binding sets (like when working on `fish_vi_key_bindings`).

\subsection bind-example Examples
\fish
bind <asis>\\cd</asis> 'exit'
\endfish
Causes `fish` to exit when @key{Control,D} is pressed.
\fish
bind -k ppage history-search-backward
\endfish
Performs a history search when the @key{Page Up} key is pressed.
\fish
set -g fish_key_bindings fish_vi_key_bindings
bind -M insert \\cc kill-whole-line force-repaint
\endfish
Turns on Vi key bindings and rebinds @key{Control,C} to clear the input line.
\subsection special-case-escape Special Case: The escape Character
The escape key can be used standalone, for example, to switch from insertion mode to normal mode when using Vi keybindings. Escape may also be used as a "meta" key, to indicate the start of an escape sequence, such as function or arrow keys. Custom bindings can also be defined that begin with an escape character.
fish waits for a period after receiving the escape character, to determine whether it is standalone or part of an escape sequence. While waiting, additional key presses make the escape key behave as a meta key. If no other key presses come in, it is handled as a standalone escape. The waiting period is set to 300 milliseconds (0.3 seconds) in the default key bindings and 10 milliseconds in the vi key bindings. It can be configured by setting the `fish_escape_delay_ms` variable to a value between 10 and 5000 ms. It is recommended that this be a universal variable that you set once from an interactive session.
Note: fish 2.2.0 and earlier used a default of 10 milliseconds, and provided no way to configure it. That effectively made it impossible to use escape as a meta key.
\section block block - temporarily block delivery of events
\subsection block-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
block [OPTIONS...]
\endfish
\subsection block-description Description
`block` prevents events triggered by `fish` or the <a href="commands.html#emit">`emit`</a> command from being delivered and acted upon while the block is in place.
In functions, `block` can be useful while performing work that should not be interrupted by the shell.
The block can be removed. Any events which triggered while the block was in place will then be delivered.
Event blocks should not be confused with code blocks, which are created with `begin`, `if`, `while` or `for`
The following parameters are available:
- `-l` or `--local` Release the block automatically at the end of the current innermost code block scope
- `-g` or `--global` Never automatically release the lock
- `-e` or `--erase` Release global block
\subsection block-example Example
\fish
# Create a function that listens for events
function --on-event foo foo; echo 'foo fired'; end
# Block the delivery of events
block -g
emit foo
# No output will be produced
block -e
# 'foo fired' will now be printed
\endfish
\subsection block-notes Notes
Note that events are only received from the current fish process as there is no way to send events from one fish process to another.
\section break break - stop the current inner loop
\subsection break-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS...] break; [COMMANDS...] end
\endfish
\subsection break-description Description
`break` halts a currently running loop, such as a <a href="#for">for</a> loop or a <a href="#while">while</a> loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an <a href="#if">if</a> statement or a <a href="#switch">switch</a> statement.
There are no parameters for `break`.
\subsection break-example Example
The following code searches all .c files for "smurf", and halts at the first occurrence.
\section case case - conditionally execute a block of commands
\subsection case-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
switch VALUE; [case [WILDCARD...]; [COMMANDS...]; ...] end
\endfish
\subsection case-description Description
`switch` executes one of several blocks of commands, depending on whether a specified value matches one of several values. `case` is used together with the `switch` statement in order to determine which block should be executed.
Each `case` command is given one or more parameters. The first `case` command with a parameter that matches the string specified in the switch command will be evaluated. `case` parameters may contain wildcards. These need to be escaped or quoted in order to avoid regular wildcard expansion using filenames.
Note that fish does not fall through on case statements. Only the first matching case is executed.
Note that command substitutions in a case statement will be evaluated even if its body is not taken. All substitutions, including command substitutions, must be performed before the value can be compared against the parameter.
\subsection case-example Example
Say \$animal contains the name of an animal. Then this code would classify it:
\fish
switch $animal
case cat
echo evil
case wolf dog human moose dolphin whale
echo mammal
case duck goose albatross
echo bird
case shark trout stingray
echo fish
# Note that the next case has a wildcard which is quoted
case '*'
echo I have no idea what a $animal is
end
\endfish
If the above code was run with `$animal` set to `whale`, the output
would be `mammal`.
If `$animal` was set to "banana", it would print "I have no idea what a banana is".
If `DIRECTORY` is supplied, it will become the new directory. If no parameter is given, the contents of the `HOME` environment variable will be used.
If `DIRECTORY` is a relative path, the paths found in the `CDPATH` environment variable array will be tried as prefixes for the specified path.
Note that the shell will attempt to change directory without requiring `cd` if the name of a directory is provided (starting with `.`, `/` or `~`, or ending with `/`).
Fish also ships a wrapper function around the builtin `cd` that understands `cd -` as changing to the previous directory. See also <a href="commands.html#prevd">`prevd`</a>. This wrapper function maintains a history of the 25 most recently visited directories in the `$dirprev` and `$dirnext` global variables. If you make those universal variables your `cd` history is shared among all fish instances.
As a special case, `cd .` is equivalent to `cd $PWD`, which is useful in cases where a mountpoint has been recycled or a directory has been removed and recreated.
\subsection cd-example Examples
\fish
cd
# changes the working directory to your home directory.
cd /usr/src/fish-shell
# changes the working directory to /usr/src/fish-shell
\endfish
\subsection cd-see-also See Also
See also the <a href="commands.html#cdh">`cdh`</a> command for changing to a recently visited directory.
\section cdh cdh - change to a recently visited directory
\subsection cdh-synopsis Synopsis
\fish{synopsis}
cdh [ directory ]
\endfish
\subsection cdh-description Description
`cdh` with no arguments presents a list of recently visited directories. You can then select one of the entries by letter or number. You can also press @key{tab} to use the completion pager to select an item from the list. If you give it a single argument it is equivalent to `cd directory`.
Note that the `cd` command limits directory history to the 25 most recently visited directories. The history is stored in the `$dirprev` and `$dirnext` variables which this command manipulates. If you make those universal variables your `cd` history is shared among all fish instances.
\subsection cdh-see-also See Also
See also the <a href="commands.html#prevd">`prevd`</a> and <a href="commands.html#pushd">`pushd`</a> commands which also work with the recent `cd` history and are provided for compatibility with other shells.
``abbr`` manages abbreviations - user-defined words that are replaced with longer phrases after they are entered.
For example, a frequently-run command like ``git checkout`` can be abbreviated to ``gco``. After entering ``gco`` and pressing :kbd:`Space` or :kbd:`Enter`, the full text ``git checkout`` will appear in the command line.
Options
-------
The following options are available:
-``-a WORD EXPANSION`` or ``--add WORD EXPANSION`` Adds a new abbreviation, causing WORD to be expanded to EXPANSION.
-``-r OLD_WORD NEW_WORD`` or ``--rename OLD_WORD NEW_WORD`` Renames an abbreviation, from OLD_WORD to NEW_WORD.
-``-s`` or ``--show`` Show all abbreviations in a manner suitable for export and import.
-``-l`` or ``--list`` Lists all abbreviated words.
-``-e WORD`` or ``--erase WORD`` Erase the abbreviation WORD.
-``-q`` or ``--query`` Return 0 (true) if one of the WORDs is an abbreviation.
In addition, when adding or renaming abbreviations:
-``-g`` or ``--global`` to use a global variable.
-``-U`` or ``--universal`` to use a universal variable (default).
See the "Internals" section for more on them.

Add a new abbreviation where ``gco`` will be replaced with ``git checkout`` global to the current shell. This abbreviation will not be automatically visible to other shells unless the same command is run in those shells (such as when executing the commands in config.fish).
::
abbr -a -U l less
Add a new abbreviation where ``l`` will be replaced with ``less`` universal so all shells. Note that you omit the ``-U`` since it is the default.
::
abbr -r gco gch
Renames an existing abbreviation from ``gco`` to ``gch``.
::
abbr -e gco
Erase the ``gco`` abbreviation.
::
ssh another_host abbr -s | source
Import the abbreviations defined on another_host over SSH.
Internals
---------
Each abbreviation is stored in its own global or universal variable. The name consists of the prefix ``_fish_abbr_`` followed by the WORD after being transformed by ``string escape style=var``. The WORD cannot contain a space but all other characters are legal.
Defining an abbreviation with global scope is slightly faster than universal scope (which is the default). But in general you'll only want to use the global scope when defining abbreviations in a startup script like ``~/.config/fish/config.fish`` like this:
::
if status --is-interactive
abbr --add --global first 'echo my first abbreviation'
abbr --add --global second 'echo my second abbreviation'
abbr --add --global gco git checkout
# etcetera
end
You can create abbreviations interactively and they will be visible to other fish sessions if you use the ``-U`` or ``--universal`` flag or don't explicitly specify the scope and the abbreviation isn't already defined with global scope. If you want it to be visible only to the current shell use the ``-g`` or ``--global`` flag.
``alias`` is a simple wrapper for the ``function`` builtin, which creates a function wrapping a command. It has similar syntax to POSIX shell ``alias``. For other uses, it is recommended to define a :ref:`function <cmd-function>`.
``fish`` marks functions that have been created by ``alias`` by including the command used to create them in the function description. You can list ``alias``-created functions by running ``alias`` without arguments. They must be erased using ``functions -e``.
-``NAME`` is the name of the alias
-``DEFINITION`` is the actual command to execute. The string ``$argv`` will be appended.
You cannot create an alias to a function with the same name. Note that spaces need to be escaped in the call to ``alias`` just like at the command line, *even inside quoted parts*.
The following options are available:
-``-h`` or ``--help`` displays help about using this command.
-``-s`` or ``--save`` Automatically save the function created by the alias into your fish configuration directory using :ref:`funcsave <cmd-funcsave>`.
Example
-------
The following code will create ``rmi``, which runs ``rm`` with additional arguments on every invocation.
::
alias rmi="rm -i"
# This is equivalent to entering the following function:
function rmi --wraps rm --description 'alias rmi=rm -i'
rm -i $argv
end
# This needs to have the spaces escaped or "Chrome.app..." will be seen as an argument to "/Applications/Google":
alias chrome='/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome banana'
``and`` is used to execute a command if the previous command was successful (returned a status of 0).
``and`` statements may be used as part of the condition in an :ref:`while <cmd-while>` or :ref:`if <cmd-if>` block.
``and`` does not change the current exit status itself, but the command it runs most likely will. The exit status of the last foreground command to exit can always be accessed using the :ref:`$status <variables-status>` variable.
Example
-------
The following code runs the ``make`` command to build a program. If the build succeeds, ``make``'s exit status is 0, and the program is installed. If either step fails, the exit status is 1, and ``make clean`` is run, which removes the files created by the build process.
This command makes it easy for fish scripts and functions to handle arguments like how fish builtin commands handle their arguments. You pass arguments that define the known options, followed by a literal ``--``, then the arguments to be parsed (which might also include a literal ``--``). ``argparse`` then sets variables to indicate the passed options with their values, and sets $argv (and always $argv) to the remaining arguments. More on this in the `usage <#usage>`__ section below.
Each option specification (``OPTION_SPEC``) is written in the `domain specific language <#option-specifications>`__ described below. All OPTION_SPECs must appear after any argparse flags and before the ``--`` that separates them from the arguments to be parsed.
Each option that is seen in the ARG list will result in a var name of the form ``_flag_X``, where ``X`` is the short flag letter and the long flag name. The OPTION_SPEC always requires a short flag even if it can't be used. So there will always be ``_flag_X`` var set using the short flag letter if the corresponding short or long flag is seen. The long flag name var (e.g., ``_flag_help``) will only be defined, obviously, if the OPTION_SPEC includes a long flag name.
For example ``_flag_h`` and ``_flag_help`` if ``-h`` or ``--help`` is seen. The var will be set with local scope (i.e., as if the script had done ``set -l _flag_X``). If the flag is a boolean (that is, it just is passed or not, it doesn't have a value) the values are the short and long flags seen. If the option is not a boolean the values will be zero or more values corresponding to the values collected when the ARG list is processed. If the flag was not seen the flag var will not be set.
Options
-------
The following ``argparse`` options are available. They must appear before all OPTION_SPECs:
-``-n`` or ``--name`` is the command name for use in error messages. By default the current function name will be used, or `argparse` if run outside of a function.
-``-x`` or ``--exclusive`` should be followed by a comma separated list of short or long options that are mutually exclusive. You can use this more than once to define multiple sets of mutually exclusive options.
-``-N`` or ``--min-args`` is followed by an integer that defines the minimum number of acceptable non-option arguments. The default is zero.
-``-X`` or ``--max-args`` is followed by an integer that defines the maximum number of acceptable non-option arguments. The default is infinity.
-``-i`` or ``--ignore-unknown`` ignores unknown options, keeping them and their arguments in $argv instead.
-``-s`` or ``--stop-nonopt`` causes scanning the arguments to stop as soon as the first non-option argument is seen. Among other things, this is useful to implement subcommands that have their own options.
-``-h`` or ``--help`` displays help about using this command.
Usage
-----
Using this command requires first passing option specifications (``OPTION_SPEC`` below), then a mandatory ``--``, and then the arguments you want to have parsed. More about this below but here is a simple example that might be used in a function named ``my_function``:
If ``$argv`` is empty then there is nothing to parse and ``argparse`` returns zero to indicate success. If ``$argv`` is not empty then it is checked for flags ``-h``, ``--help``, ``-n`` and ``--name``. If they are found they are removed from the arguments and local variables are set so the script can determine which options were seen. Assuming ``$argv`` doesn't have any errors, such as a missing mandatory value for an option, then ``argparse`` exits with status zero. Otherwise it writes appropriate error messages to stderr and exits with a status of one.
The ``--`` argument is required. You do not have to include any arguments after the ``--`` but you must include the ``--``. For example, this is acceptable:
::
set -l argv
argparse 'h/help' 'n/name' -- $argv
But this is not:
::
set -l argv
argparse 'h/help' 'n/name' $argv
The first ``--`` seen is what allows the ``argparse`` command to reliably separate the option specifications from the command arguments.
Option Specifications
---------------------
Each option specification is a string composed of
- A short flag letter (which is mandatory). It must be an alphanumeric or "#". The "#" character is special and means that a flag of the form ``-123`` is valid. The short flag "#" must be followed by "-" (since the short name isn't otherwise valid since ``_flag_#`` is not a valid var name) and must be followed by a long flag name with no modifiers.
- A ``/`` if the short flag can be used by someone invoking your command else ``-`` if it should not be exposed as a valid short flag. If there is no long flag name these characters should be omitted. You can also specify a '#' to indicate the short and long flag names can be used and the value can be specified as an implicit int; i.e., a flag of the form ``-NNN``.
- A long flag name which is optional. If not present then only the short flag letter can be used.
- Nothing if the flag is a boolean that takes no argument or is an implicit int flag, else
-``=`` if it requires a value and only the last instance of the flag is saved, else
-``=?`` it takes an optional value and only the last instance of the flag is saved, else
-``=+`` if it requires a value and each instance of the flag is saved.
- Optionally a ``!`` followed by fish script to validate the value. Typically this will be a function to run. If the exit status is zero the value for the flag is valid. If non-zero the value is invalid. Any error messages should be written to stdout (not stderr). See the section on `Flag Value Validation <#flag-value-validation>`__ for more information.
See the :ref:`fish_opt <cmd-fish_opt>` command for a friendlier but more verbose way to create option specifications.
In the following examples if a flag is not seen when parsing the arguments then the corresponding _flag_X var(s) will not be set.
Note: Optional arguments
------------------------
An option defined with ``=?`` can take optional arguments. Optional arguments have to be *directly attached* to the option they belong to.
That means you can only call::
cmd --flag=value
# or
cmd -fvalue
but not::
cmd --flag value
# "value" here will be used as a positional argument and "--flag" won't have an argument.
If this weren't the case, using an option without an optional argument would be difficult if you also wanted to use positional arguments.
For example::
grep --color auto
# Here "auto" will be used as the search string, "color" will not have an argument and will fall back to the default
This isn't specific to argparse but common to all things using ``getopt(3)`` (if they have optional arguments at all).
Flag Value Validation
---------------------
Sometimes you need to validate the option values. For example, that it is a valid integer within a specific range, or an ip address, or something entirely different. You can always do this after ``argparse`` returns but you can also request that ``argparse`` perform the validation by executing arbitrary fish script. To do so simply append an ``!`` (exclamation-mark) then the fish script to be run. When that code is executed three vars will be defined:
-``_argparse_cmd`` will be set to the value of the value of the ``argparse --name`` value.
-``_flag_name`` will be set to the short or long flag that being processed.
-``_flag_value`` will be set to the value associated with the flag being processed.
These variables are passed to the function as local exported variables.
The script should write any error messages to stdout, not stderr. It should return a status of zero if the flag value is valid otherwise a non-zero status to indicate it is invalid.
Fish ships with a ``_validate_int`` function that accepts a ``--min`` and ``--max`` flag. Let's say your command accepts a ``-m`` or ``--max`` flag and the minimum allowable value is zero and the maximum is 5. You would define the option like this: ``m/max=!_validate_int --min 0 --max 5``. The default if you just call ``_validate_int`` without those flags is to simply check that the value is a valid integer with no limits on the min or max value allowed.
Example OPTION_SPECs
--------------------
Some OPTION_SPEC examples:
-``h/help`` means that both ``-h`` and ``--help`` are valid. The flag is a boolean and can be used more than once. If either flag is used then ``_flag_h`` and ``_flag_help`` will be set to the count of how many times either flag was seen.
-``h-help`` means that only ``--help`` is valid. The flag is a boolean and can be used more than once. If the long flag is used then ``_flag_h`` and ``_flag_help`` will be set to the count of how many times the long flag was seen.
-``n/name=`` means that both ``-n`` and ``--name`` are valid. It requires a value and can be used at most once. If the flag is seen then ``_flag_n`` and ``_flag_name`` will be set with the single mandatory value associated with the flag.
-``n/name=?`` means that both ``-n`` and ``--name`` are valid. It accepts an optional value and can be used at most once. If the flag is seen then ``_flag_n`` and ``_flag_name`` will be set with the value associated with the flag if one was provided else it will be set with no values.
-``n-name=+`` means that only ``--name`` is valid. It requires a value and can be used more than once. If the flag is seen then ``_flag_n`` and ``_flag_name`` will be set with the values associated with each occurrence of the flag.
-``x`` means that only ``-x`` is valid. It is a boolean that can be used more than once. If it is seen then ``_flag_x`` will be set to the count of how many times the flag was seen.
-``x=``, ``x=?``, and ``x=+`` are similar to the n/name examples above but there is no long flag alternative to the short flag ``-x``.
-``x-`` is not valid since there is no long flag name and therefore the short flag, ``-x``, has to be usable.
-``#-max`` means that flags matching the regex "^--?\d+$" are valid. When seen they are assigned to the variable ``_flag_max``. This allows any valid positive or negative integer to be specified by prefixing it with a single "-". Many commands support this idiom. For example ``head -3 /a/file`` to emit only the first three lines of /a/file.
-``n#max`` means that flags matching the regex "^--?\d+$" are valid. When seen they are assigned to the variables ``_flag_n`` and ``_flag_max``. This allows any valid positive or negative integer to be specified by prefixing it with a single "-". Many commands support this idiom. For example ``head -3 /a/file`` to emit only the first three lines of /a/file. You can also specify the value using either flag: ``-n NNN`` or ``--max NNN`` in this example.
After parsing the arguments the ``argv`` var is set with local scope to any values not already consumed during flag processing. If there are not unbound values the var is set but ``count $argv`` will be zero.
If an error occurs during argparse processing it will exit with a non-zero status and print error messages to stderr.
A block allows the introduction of a new variable scope, redirection of the input or output of a set of commands as a group, or to specify precedence when using the conditional commands like ``and``.
The block is unconditionally executed. ``begin; ...; end`` is equivalent to ``if true; ...; end``.
``begin`` does not change the current exit status itself. After the block has completed, ``$status`` will be set to the status returned by the most recent command.
Example
-------
The following code sets a number of variables inside of a block scope. Since the variables are set inside the block and have local scope, they will be automatically deleted when the block ends.
::
begin
set -l PIRATE Yarrr
...
end
echo $PIRATE
# This will not output anything, since the PIRATE variable
# went out of scope at the end of the block
In the following code, all output is redirected to the file out.html.
`bg` sends <a href="index.html#syntax-job-control">jobs</a> to the background, resuming them if they are stopped.
::
bg [PID...]
Description
-----------
``bg`` sends :ref:`jobs <syntax-job-control>` to the background, resuming them if they are stopped.
A background job is executed simultaneously with fish, and does not have access to the keyboard. If no job is specified, the last job to be used is put in the background. If PID is specified, the jobs with the specified process group IDs are put in the background.
When at least one of the arguments isn't a valid job specifier (i.e. PID),
`bg` will print an error without backgrounding anything.
``bg`` will print an error without backgrounding anything.
When all arguments are valid job specifiers, bg will background all matching jobs that exist.
\subsection bg-example Example
Example
-------
`bg 123 456 789` will background 123, 456 and 789.
``bg 123 456 789`` will background 123, 456 and 789.
If only 123 and 789 exist, it will still background them and print an error about 456.
`bg 123 banana` or `bg banana 123` will complain that "banana" is not a valid job specifier.
``bg 123 banana`` or ``bg banana 123`` will complain that "banana" is not a valid job specifier.
It can add bindings if given a SEQUENCE of characters to bind to. These should be written as :ref:`fish escape sequences <escapes>`. The most important of these are ``\c`` for the control key, and ``\e`` for escape, and because of historical reasons also the Alt key (sometimes also called "Meta").
For example, :kbd:`Alt`\ +\ :kbd:`W` can be written as ``\ew``, and :kbd:`Control`\ +\ :kbd:`X` (^X) can be written as ``\cx``. Note that Alt-based key bindings are case sensitive and Control-based key bindings are not. This is a constraint of text-based terminals, not ``fish``.
The generic key binding that matches if no other binding does can be set by specifying a ``SEQUENCE`` of the empty string (that is, ``''`` ). For most key bindings, it makes sense to bind this to the ``self-insert`` function (i.e. ``bind '' self-insert``). This will insert any keystrokes not specifically bound to into the editor. Non-printable characters are ignored by the editor, so this will not result in control sequences being inserted.
If the ``-k`` switch is used, the name of a key (such as 'down', 'up' or 'backspace') is used instead of a sequence. The names used are the same as the corresponding curses variables, but without the 'key\_' prefix. (See ``terminfo(5)`` for more information, or use ``bind --key-names`` for a list of all available named keys). Normally this will print an error if the current ``$TERM`` entry doesn't have a given key, unless the ``-s`` switch is given.
``COMMAND`` can be any fish command, but it can also be one of a set of special input functions. These include functions for moving the cursor, operating on the kill-ring, performing tab completion, etc. Use ``bind --function-names`` for a complete list of these input functions.
When ``COMMAND`` is a shellscript command, it is a good practice to put the actual code into a `function <#function>`__ and simply bind to the function name. This way it becomes significantly easier to test the function while editing, and the result is usually more readable as well.
If a script produces output, it should finish by calling ``commandline -f repaint`` to tell fish that a repaint is in order.
Note that special input functions cannot be combined with ordinary shell script commands. The commands must be entirely a sequence of special input functions (from ``bind -f``) or all shell script commands (i.e., valid fish script).
If no ``SEQUENCE`` is provided, all bindings (or just the bindings in the given ``MODE``) are printed. If ``SEQUENCE`` is provided but no ``COMMAND``, just the binding matching that sequence is printed.
To save custom keybindings, put the ``bind`` statements into :ref:`config.fish <initialization>`. Alternatively, fish also automatically executes a function called ``fish_user_key_bindings`` if it exists.
Key bindings may use "modes", which mimics Vi's modal input behavior. The default mode is "default", and every bind applies to a single mode. The mode can be viewed/changed with the ``$fish_bind_mode`` variable.
Options
-------
The following options are available:
-``-k`` or ``--key`` Specify a key name, such as 'left' or 'backspace' instead of a character sequence
-``-K`` or ``--key-names`` Display a list of available key names. Specifying ``-a`` or ``--all`` includes keys that don't have a known mapping
-``-f`` or ``--function-names`` Display a list of available input functions
-``-L`` or ``--list-modes`` Display a list of defined bind modes
-``-M MODE`` or ``--mode MODE`` Specify a bind mode that the bind is used in. Defaults to "default"
-``-m NEW_MODE`` or ``--sets-mode NEW_MODE`` Change the current mode to ``NEW_MODE`` after this binding is executed
-``-e`` or ``--erase`` Erase the binding with the given sequence and mode instead of defining a new one. Multiple sequences can be specified with this flag. Specifying ``-a`` or ``--all`` with ``-M`` or ``--mode`` erases all binds in the given mode regardless of sequence. Specifying ``-a`` or ``--all`` without ``-M`` or ``--mode`` erases all binds in all modes regardless of sequence.
-``-a`` or ``--all`` See ``--erase`` and ``--key-names``
-``--preset`` and ``--user`` specify if bind should operate on user or preset bindings. User bindings take precedence over preset bindings when fish looks up mappings. By default, all ``bind`` invocations work on the "user" level except for listing, which will show both levels. All invocations except for inserting new bindings can operate on both levels at the same time (if both ``--preset`` and ``--user`` are given). ``--preset`` should only be used in full binding sets (like when working on ``fish_vi_key_bindings``).
Special input functions

.._cmd-bind-termlimits:
Terminal Limitations
--------------------
Unix terminals, like the ones fish operates in, are at heart 70s technology. They have some limitations that applications running inside them can't workaround.
For instance, the control key modifies a character by setting the top three bits to 0. This means:
- Many characters + control are indistinguishable from other keys. :kbd:`Control`\ +\ :kbd:`I`*is* tab, :kbd:`Control`\ +\ :kbd:`J`*is* newline (`\n`).
- Control and shift don't work simultaneously
Other keys don't have a direct encoding, and are sent as escape sequences. For example :kbd:`→` (Right) often sends `\e\[C`. These can differ from terminal to terminal, and the mapping is typically available in `terminfo(5)`. Sometimes however a terminal identifies as e.g. `xterm-256color` for compatibility, but then implements xterm's sequences incorrectly.
.._cmd-bind-escape:
Special Case: The Escape Character
----------------------------------
The escape key can be used standalone, for example, to switch from insertion mode to normal mode when using Vi keybindings. Escape can also be used as a "meta" key, to indicate the start of an escape sequence, like for function or arrow keys. Custom bindings can also be defined that begin with an escape character.
Holding alt and something else also typically sends escape, for example holding alt+a will send an escape character and then an "a".
fish waits for a period after receiving the escape character, to determine whether it is standalone or part of an escape sequence. While waiting, additional key presses make the escape key behave as a meta key. If no other key presses come in, it is handled as a standalone escape. The waiting period is set to 30 milliseconds (0.03 seconds). It can be configured by setting the ``fish_escape_delay_ms`` variable to a value between 10 and 5000 ms. This can be a universal variable that you set once from an interactive session.
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS...] break; [COMMANDS...] end
Description
-----------
``break`` halts a currently running loop, such as a :ref:`switch <cmd-switch>`, :ref:`for <cmd-for>` or :ref:`while <cmd-while>` loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an :ref:`if <cmd-if>` block.
There are no parameters for ``break``.
Example
-------
The following code searches all .c files for "smurf", and halts at the first occurrence.
::
for i in *.c
if grep smurf $i
echo Smurfs are present in $i
break
end
end
See Also
--------
- the :ref:`continue <cmd-continue>` command, to skip the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop
switch VALUE; [case [WILDCARD...]; [COMMANDS...]; ...] end
Description
-----------
``switch`` executes one of several blocks of commands, depending on whether a specified value matches one of several values. ``case`` is used together with the ``switch`` statement in order to determine which block should be executed.
Each ``case`` command is given one or more parameters. The first ``case`` command with a parameter that matches the string specified in the switch command will be evaluated. ``case`` parameters may contain wildcards. These need to be escaped or quoted in order to avoid regular wildcard expansion using filenames.
Note that fish does not fall through on case statements. Only the first matching case is executed.
Note that command substitutions in a case statement will be evaluated even if its body is not taken. All substitutions, including command substitutions, must be performed before the value can be compared against the parameter.
Example
-------
Say \$animal contains the name of an animal. Then this code would classify it:
::
switch $animal
case cat
echo evil
case wolf dog human moose dolphin whale
echo mammal
case duck goose albatross
echo bird
case shark trout stingray
echo fish
# Note that the next case has a wildcard which is quoted
case '*'
echo I have no idea what a $animal is
end
If the above code was run with ``$animal`` set to ``whale``, the output
