--000000000000004b50064cd6ab0b Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, My name is Vaibhav Sharma and I=E2=80=99m a computer science student intere= sted in systems programming, backend and distributed systems. I noticed the proposed GSoC project about implementing shell completion for OpenAFS commands. I have experience working with C and shell scripting, and I=E2=80=99m currently exploring the OpenAFS codebase to understand how the command-line tools are implemented. Before diving deeper, I wanted to ask: 1. Which commands would be the best starting point for implementing completion? 2. Is there an existing command parsing framework in OpenAFS that could help generate completions automatically? I plan to build OpenAFS locally and begin exploring the command implementations over the next few days. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
