- """A generic class to build line-oriented command interpreters.
-
- Interpreters constructed with this class obey the following conventions:
-
- 1. End of file on input is processed as the command 'EOF'.
- 2. A command is parsed out of each line by collecting the prefix composed
- of characters in the identchars member.
- 3. A command `foo' is dispatched to a method 'do_foo()'; the do_ method
- is passed a single argument consisting of the remainder of the line.
- 4. Typing an empty line repeats the last command. (Actually, it calls the
- method `emptyline', which may be overridden in a subclass.)
- 5. There is a predefined `help' method. Given an argument `topic', it
- calls the command `help_topic'. With no arguments, it lists all topics
- with defined help_ functions, broken into up to three topics; documented
- commands, miscellaneous help topics, and undocumented commands.
- 6. The command '?' is a synonym for `help'. The command '!' is a synonym
- for `shell', if a do_shell method exists.
- 7. If completion is enabled, completing commands will be done automatically,
- and completing of commands args is done by calling complete_foo() with
- arguments text, line, begidx, endidx. text is string we are matching
- against, all returned matches must begin with it. line is the current
- input line (lstripped), begidx and endidx are the beginning and end
- indexes of the text being matched, which could be used to provide
- different completion depending upon which position the argument is in.
-
- The `default' method may be overridden to intercept commands for which there
- is no do_ method.
-
- The `completedefault' method may be overridden to intercept completions for
- commands that have no complete_ method.
-
- The data member `self.ruler' sets the character used to draw separator lines
- in the help messages. If empty, no ruler line is drawn. It defaults to "=".
-
- If the value of `self.intro' is nonempty when the cmdloop method is called,
- it is printed out on interpreter startup. This value may be overridden
- via an optional argument to the cmdloop() method.
-
- The data members `self.doc_header', `self.misc_header', and
- `self.undoc_header' set the headers used for the help function's
- listings of documented functions, miscellaneous topics, and undocumented
- functions respectively.
-
- These interpreters use raw_input; thus, if the readline module is loaded,
- they automatically support Emacs-like command history and editing features.
