/**
 * A completer callback is a function that accepts three arguments:
 *
 *   @ctl: virsh control structure
 *   @cmd: parsed input
 *   @flags: optional flags to alter completer's behaviour
 *
 * The @ctl contains connection to the daemon (should the
 * completer need it). Any completer that requires a connection
 * must check whether connection is still alive.
 *
 * The @cmd contains parsed user input which might be missing
 * some arguments (if user is still typing the command), but may
 * already contain important data. For instance if the completer
 * needs domain XML it may inspect @cmd to find --domain. Using
 * existing wrappers is advised. If @cmd does not contain all
 * necessary bits, completer might return sensible defaults (i.e.
 * generic values not tailored to specific use case) or return
 * NULL (i.e. no strings are offered to the user for completion).
 *
 * The @flags contains a .completer_flags value defined for each
 * use or 0 if no .completer_flags were specified. If a completer
 * is generic enough @flags can be used to alter its behaviour.
 * For instance, a completer to fetch names of domains can use
 * @flags to return names of only domains in a particular state
 * that the command accepts.
 *
 * Under no circumstances should a completer output anything.
 * Neither to stdout nor to stderr. This would harm the user
 * experience.

/**
 * virshCommaStringListComplete:
 * @input: user input so far
 * @options: ALL options available for argument
 *
 * Some arguments to our commands accept the following form:
 *
 *   virsh command --arg str1,str2,str3
 *
 * This does not play nicely with our completer funtions, because
 * they have to return strings prepended with user's input. For
 * instance:
 *
 *   str1,str2,str3,strA
 *   str1,str2,str3,strB
 *   str1,str2,str3,strC
 *
 * This helper function takes care of that. In this specific case
 * it would be called as follows:
 *
 *   virshCommaStringListComplete("str1,str2,str3",
 *                                {"strA", "strB", "strC", NULL});
 *
 * Returns: string list of completions on success,
 *          NULL otherwise.
