complete

public void complete(LineReader reader,
                     ParsedLine line,
                     List<Candidate> candidates)

Description copied from interface: Completer

Populates candidates with a list of possible completions for the buffer. The list of candidates will be sorted and filtered by the LineReader, so that the list of candidates displayed to the user will usually be smaller than the list given by the completer. Thus it is not necessary for the completer to do any matching based on the current buffer. On the contrary, in order for the typo matcher to work, all possible candidates for the word being completed should be returned.

Specified by:

complete in interface Completer

line - The parsed command line

candidates - The List of candidates to populate
