| 1771 | |
| 1772 This section describes low-level subroutines for completing a user | |
| 1773 name. For other completion functions, see @ref{Completion}. | |
| 1774 | |
| 1775 @defun user-name-all-completions partial-username | |
| 1776 This function returns a list of all possible completions for a user | |
| 1777 whose name starts with @var{partial-username}. The order of the | |
| 1778 completions is unpredictable and conveys no useful information. | |
| 1779 | |
| 1780 The argument @var{partial-username} must be a partial user name | |
| 1781 containing no tilde character and no slash. | |
| 1782 @end defun | |
| 1783 | |
| 1784 @defun user-name-completion username | |
| 1785 This function completes the user name @var{username}. It returns the | |
| 1786 longest prefix common to all user names that start with @var{username}. | |
| 1787 | |
| 1788 If only one match exists and @var{username} matches it exactly, the | |
| 1789 function returns @code{t}. The function returns @code{nil} if no user | |
| 1790 name starting with @var{username} exists. | |
| 1791 @end defun | |
| 1792 | |
| 1793 @defun user-name-completion-1 username | |
| 1794 This function completes the user name @var{username}, like | |
| 1795 @code{user-name-completion}, differing only in the return value. | |
| 1796 This function returns the cons of the completion returned by | |
| 1797 @code{user-name-completion}, and a boolean indicating whether that | |
| 1798 completion was unique. | |
