/// Generate a completions file for a specified shell at compile-time.
///
/// **NOTE:** to generate the file at compile time you must use a `build.rs` "Build Script" or a
/// [`cargo-xtask`](https://github.com/matklad/cargo-xtask)
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following example generates a bash completion script via a `build.rs` script. In this
/// simple example, we'll demo a very small application with only a single subcommand and two
/// args. Real applications could be many multiple levels deep in subcommands, and have tens or
/// potentially hundreds of arguments.
///
/// First, it helps if we separate out our `Command` definition into a separate file. Whether you
/// do this as a function, or bare Command definition is a matter of personal preference.
///
/// ```
/// // src/cli.rs
/// # use clap::{Command, Arg, ArgAction};
/// pub fn build_cli() -> Command {
/// Command::new("compl")
/// .about("Tests completions")
/// .arg(Arg::new("file")
/// .help("some input file"))
/// .subcommand(Command::new("test")
/// .about("tests things")
/// .arg(Arg::new("case")
/// .long("case")
/// .action(ArgAction::Set)
/// .help("the case to test")))
/// }
/// ```
///
/// In our regular code, we can simply call this `build_cli()` function, then call
/// `get_matches()`, or any of the other normal methods directly after. For example:
///
/// ```ignore
/// // src/main.rs
///
/// mod cli;
///
/// fn main() {
/// let _m = cli::build_cli().get_matches();
///
/// // normal logic continues...
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Next, we set up our `Cargo.toml` to use a `build.rs` build script.
///
/// ```toml
/// # Cargo.toml
/// build = "build.rs"
///
/// [dependencies]
/// clap = "*"
///
/// [build-dependencies]
/// clap = "*"
/// clap_complete = "*"
/// ```
///
/// Next, we place a `build.rs` in our project root.
///
/// ```ignore
/// use clap_complete::{generate_to, shells::Bash};
/// use std::env;
/// use std::io::Error;
///
/// include!("src/cli.rs");
///
/// fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
/// let outdir = match env::var_os("OUT_DIR") {
/// None => return Ok(()),
/// Some(outdir) => outdir,
/// };
///
/// let mut cmd = build_cli();
/// let path = generate_to(
/// Bash,
/// &mut cmd, // We need to specify what generator to use
/// "myapp", // We need to specify the bin name manually
/// outdir, // We need to specify where to write to
/// )?;
///
/// println!("cargo:warning=completion file is generated: {path:?}");
///
/// Ok(())
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Now, once we compile there will be a `{bin_name}.bash` file in the directory.
/// Assuming we compiled with debug mode, it would be somewhere similar to
/// `<project>/target/debug/build/myapp-<hash>/out/myapp.bash`.
///
/// **NOTE:** Please look at the individual [shells][crate::shells]
/// to see the name of the files generated.
///
/// Using [`ValueEnum::value_variants()`][clap::ValueEnum::value_variants] you can easily loop over
/// all the supported shell variants to generate all the completions at once too.
///
/// ```ignore
/// use clap::ValueEnum;
/// use clap_complete::{generate_to, Shell};
/// use std::env;
/// use std::io::Error;
///
/// include!("src/cli.rs");
///
/// fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
/// let outdir = match env::var_os("OUT_DIR") {
/// None => return Ok(()),
/// Some(outdir) => outdir,
/// };
///
/// let mut cmd = build_cli();
/// for &shell in Shell::value_variants() {
/// generate_to(shell, &mut cmd, "myapp", outdir)?;
/// }
///
/// Ok(())
