7 /// See the `clap_complete` crate for completion script generation.

9 /// Overview of which hints are supported by which shell:
10 ///
11 /// | Hint                   | zsh | fish[^1]|
12 /// | ---------------------- | --- | ------- |
13 /// | `AnyPath`              | Yes | Yes     |
14 /// | `FilePath`             | Yes | Yes     |
15 /// | `DirPath`              | Yes | Yes     |
16 /// | `ExecutablePath`       | Yes | Partial |
17 /// | `CommandName`          | Yes | Yes     |
18 /// | `CommandString`        | Yes | Partial |
19 /// | `CommandWithArguments` | Yes |         |
20 /// | `Username`             | Yes | Yes     |
21 /// | `Hostname`             | Yes | Yes     |
22 /// | `Url`                  | Yes |         |
23 /// | `EmailAddress`         | Yes |         |
24 ///
25 /// [^1]: fish completions currently only support named arguments (e.g. -o or --opt), not
26 ///       positional arguments.
