How does command autocompletion work?

[DragonZV]

I'm not sure what kind of isssue to make, so I'm doing feature request.

How does command autocompletion work? I have a slightly complex version of pacman I made, and I'm wondering how I can have zsh-autocomplete autocomplete my flags or packages.

How does it know what flags are applicable for this command?

How do I have my command have my command's parameters autocomplete with Arch Linux packages?

That's what discussions are for. 🙂 I've converted your issue to a discussion.

pacman's own ArchLinux package includes a Zsh completion function for itself. This file is installed as /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_pacman when the pacman package is installed.
