These two completers are written in a stacked _arguments style, and some
generic options are valid before or after the verb. If the toplevel
_arguments is permitted to match options after the verb, it will halt
completion prematurely, so stop toplevel matching after the verb.
This corrects the following error:
$ userdbctl --output=class user <TAB> # completes users
$ userdbctl user --output=class <TAB> # completes nothing
--empower gives full privileges to a non-root user. Currently this
includes all capabilities but we leave the option open to add more
privileges via this option in the future.
Why is this useful? When running privileged development or debugging
commands from your home directory (think bpftrace, strace and such),
you want any files written by these tools to be owned by your current
user, and not by the root user. run0 --empower will allow you to run
all privileged operations (assuming the tools check for capabilities
and not UIDs), while any files written by the tools will still be owned
by the current user.
The DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS parameters have
an interesting syntax thats useful to complete. Let's include a
completion definition for these parameters.
--no-hostname is one of the switches I use very often. In particular,
when looking at CI logs, the hostname is almost never interesting.
-H is not yet used in journalctl, because journal operates locally, but
will want it if display of remote journals is implemented. Use -W.
The zsh completions only complete one type argument, even though multiple
args are allowed. But the same issue occurs with other completions, e.g.
for options. I don't know how to solve this.
Prefixes would be nice, but they appear to be very buggy.
A few examples:
- `udevadm test-builtin net_setup_link /sys<TAB><TAB>`: `/sysblock/`
- `udevadm test-builtin net_setup_link /sys/<TAB><TAB>`: `/sys/bin/`
- `journalctl /dev<TAB>`: `/dev//dev/`

We specify >= 0.62 as the supported version, so drop the duplicate name in all cases
where it is the same as outputs[0], i.e. almost all cases.

This is useful when the previous invocation is unexpectedly killed.
Otherwise, if systemd-nspawn is killed forcibly, then unix-export
directory is not cleared and unmounted, and the subsequent invocation
will fail. E.g.
===
[ 18.895515] TEST-13-NSPAWN.sh[645]: + machinectl start long-running
[ 18.945703] systemd-nspawn[1387]: Mount point '/run/systemd/nspawn/unix-export/long-running' exists already, refusing.
[ 18.949236] systemd[1]: systemd-nspawn@long-running.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
[ 18.949743] systemd[1]: Failed to start systemd-nspawn@long-running.service.

This adds --json=MODE option for 'udevadm test' command.
When specified, all messages, except for the final result, will be
written to stderr, and the final result is shown in JSON format to
stdout. It may be useful for parsing the test result.
When '--resolve-names=late', systemd-udevd resolves user/group names
during each event being processed, and does not verify names on parse.
When '--resolve-names=never', systemd-udevd refuses any user/group names
on parse. Hence, the parser of udev rules behaves diffrently. Let's not
convert 'never' -> 'late' silently, and use the specified option as is.
This also updates man page and shell completion for --resolve-names
option.
systemctl has a --job-mode= argument, and adding the same argument to
systemd-run is useful for starting transient scopes with dependencies.
For example, if a transient scope BindsTo a service that is stopping,
specifying --job-mode=replace will wait for the service to stop before
starting it again, while the default job mode of "fail" will cause the
systemd-run invocation to fail.

This adds -D/--extra-rules-dir=DIR switch for 'udevadm test' command.
When specified, udev rules files in the specified directory will be also
loaded. This may be useful for debugging udev rules by copying some udev
rules files to a temporary directory.
