Known subclasses: twisted.python._shellcomp.SubcommandAction, twisted.python.usage.CompleteDirs, twisted.python.usage.CompleteFiles, twisted.python.usage.CompleteGroups, twisted.python.usage.CompleteHostnames, twisted.python.usage.CompleteList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteMultiList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteNetInterfaces, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUserAtHost, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUsernames

A completion "action" - provides completion possibilities for a particular command-line option. For example we might provide the user a fixed list of choices, or files/dirs according to a glob.

This class produces no completion matches itself - see the various subclasses for specific completion functionality.

Method _getRepeatFlag Undocumented
Method _description Undocumented
Method _shellCode Fetch a fragment of shell code representing this action which is suitable for use by the completion system in _shellcomp.py
