Mark Olesen c614110d46 ENH: improve bash completion functionality (issue #551)
- use complete -o filenames, dropped -o nospace to make it more responsive.

- restructure completion code to use a unified backend, which makes it easier
  understand, maintain and re-use.

- foamCreateBashCompletions now simply outputs to a stdout, and allows
  quick generation of completion of single applications.

- add -fileHandler completion in anticipation of future changes there.

- relocated as etc/config.s/bash_completion to prevent inadvertently
  having two versions (.com, .org) installed at the same time.

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
