1"""A generic class to build line-oriented command interpreters.
2
3Interpreters constructed with this class obey the following conventions:
4
51. End of file on input is processed as the command 'EOF'.
62. A command is parsed out of each line by collecting the prefix composed
7   of characters in the identchars member.
83. A command `foo' is dispatched to a method 'do_foo()'; the do_ method
9   is passed a single argument consisting of the remainder of the line.
104. Typing an empty line repeats the last command.  (Actually, it calls the
11   method `emptyline', which may be overridden in a subclass.)
125. There is a predefined `help' method.  Given an argument `topic', it
13   calls the command `help_topic'.  With no arguments, it lists all topics
14   with defined help_ functions, broken into up to three topics; documented
15   commands, miscellaneous help topics, and undocumented commands.
166. The command '?' is a synonym for `help'.  The command '!' is a synonym
17   for `shell', if a do_shell method exists.
187. If completion is enabled, completing commands will be done automatically,
19   and completing of commands args is done by calling complete_foo() with
20   arguments text, line, begidx, endidx.  text is string we are matching
21   against, all returned matches must begin with it.  line is the current
22   input line (lstripped), begidx and endidx are the beginning and end
23   indexes of the text being matched, which could be used to provide
24   different completion depending upon which position the argument is in.
25
26The `default' method may be overridden to intercept commands for which there
27is no do_ method.
28
29The `completedefault' method may be overridden to intercept completions for
30commands that have no complete_ method.
31
32The data member `self.ruler' sets the character used to draw separator lines
33in the help messages.  If empty, no ruler line is drawn.  It defaults to "=".
34
35If the value of `self.intro' is nonempty when the cmdloop method is called,
36it is printed out on interpreter startup.  This value may be overridden
37via an optional argument to the cmdloop() method.
38
39The data members `self.doc_header', `self.misc_header', and
40`self.undoc_header' set the headers used for the help function's
41listings of documented functions, miscellaneous topics, and undocumented
42functions respectively.
