This is an Emacs module that invokes a command line program that requires an a string of enumerations as input. An example is the mnemonic option of the synconf program. The enumeration of choices offered by the command line program are then read as a completing user input in Emacs.
You must create an instance of the choice-prog class and specify the program
with options. For the synconf program
you'd add the following to your ~/.emacs init file:
(defvar synconf-the-instance
(choice-prog nil
:program "synconf"
:interpreter "perl"
:buffer-name "*Synchronized Output*"
:choice-prompt "Mnemonic"
:choice-switch-name "-m"
:selection-args '("-a" "listmnemonics")
:documentation
"Run a synchronize command. The command is issued with the `synconf'
perl script.")
"The synconf object instance.")
(choice-prog-create-exec-function 'synconf-the-instance)If you'd like add the configuration in another config file you can use add the following:
;;;###autoload
(defun synconf (&optional rest) (interactive))
(choice-prog-create-exec-function 'synconf-the-instance)This adds the configuration file to autoloads (pattern matching on the
interactive function synconf). Then the subsequent call to
choice-prog-create-exec-function clobbers the empty interactive definition
with that which invokes the command line program.
