Linux/UNIX
manpage integrations
man page parsing is used extensively throughout Murex.
From providing default autocompletions through to quick access of those
manuals via the [f1] preview pane.
This document describes the various different integrations around
those man pages.
Please note that this is only supported on Linux, macOS, BSD and other UNIX-like platforms. Windows and Plan 9 do not currently support these specific integrations.
Autocomplete, sometimes referred to as “tab-completion”, are command
and parameter suggestions offered when you press [tab].
A lot of commands will have a bespoke autocomplete config defined
for them. However writing autocomplete rules for every command out there
would be hugely time consuming and impractical. Thus Murex can
automatically generate autocompletions based on the contents of
a commands man page.
If you want to quickly read a man page without
disrupting your flow in the command line, then you can press
[f1] to preview it.
This preview will allow you to keep typing out your command line
while also presenting the man page in an easy to read
layout.
When you type a command in, you will see a brief description of what
that command is, in your hint text.
That command will generally be pulled from its accompanying
man page.
