Completion Directories
======================

In the source distribution, the files are contained in various
subdirectories of the Completion directory.  They may have been
installed in the same structure, or into one single function directory.
The following is a description of the files found in the original
directory structure.  If you wish to alter an installed file, you will
need to copy it to some directory which appears earlier in your fpath
than the standard directory where it appears.

Base
     The core functions and special completion widgets automatically
     bound to keys.  You will certainly need most of these, though will
     probably not need to alter them.  Many of these are documented
     above.

Zsh
     Functions for completing arguments of shell builtin commands and
     utility functions for this.  Some of these are also used by
     functions from the Unix directory.

Unix
     Functions for completing arguments of external commands and suites
     of commands.  They may need modifying for your system, although in
     many cases some attempt is made to decide which version of a
     command is present.  For example, completion for the mount command
     tries to determine the system it is running on, while completion
     for many other utilities try to decide whether the GNU version of
     the command is in use, and hence whether the -help option is
     supported..

X, AIX, BSD, ...
     Completion and utility function for commands available only on
     some systems.
