Bash Completions For Coverity

Suggests arguments and options for various Coverity commands.

Installation

In all cases, you simply need to install the appropriate bash completion package (if not already installed) and then copy the coverity completion script from this repository into the right directory. For example:

sudo apt-get install bash-completion
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coverity/coverity-bash-completions/master/coverity > /etc/bash_completion.d/coverity
bash -l; # To start new shell

In some cases, you may need to explicitly load the completion framework into your shell. This is usually done by adding something like source /etc/bash_completion to your ~\.bashrc file.

Usage

For these completions to work, the bin directory for the Coverity Platform and/or Coverity Analysis Tools must be in your $PATH. At this time, completions are available only for some commands. Here are some of my favorites:
