--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number| in the range
--- [-1, 1].
--- Returns NaN if {expr} is outside the range [-1, 1].  Returns

--- separately.
--- When {utf16} is present and TRUE, {nr} is used as the UTF-16

--- <Also see |strgetchar()| and |strcharpart()|.
---
--- If there are less than {nr} characters -1 is returned.
--- If there are exactly {nr} characters the length of the string

---
--- When {countcc} is omitted or |FALSE|, then composing characters
--- are not counted separately, their byte length is added to the

--- When {utf16} is present and TRUE, {idx} is used as the UTF-16
--- index in the String {expr} instead of as the byte index.
---
--- Returns -1 if the arguments are invalid or if there are less
--- than {idx} bytes. If there are exactly {idx} bytes the length
--- of the string in characters is returned.
---
--- An error is given and -1 is returned if the first argument is
--- not a string, the second argument is not a number or when the
--- third argument is present and is not zero or one.
---
--- See |byteidx()| and |byteidxcomp()| for getting the byte index
--- from the character index and |utf16idx()| for getting the

---   - Otherwise, changes the global directory.
--- {dir} must be a String.
--- If successful, returns the previous working directory.  Pass

--- if an error occurred.
---
--- @return table<string,any>
function vim.fn.cmdcomplete_info() end

--- The result is a Number, which is the byte index of the column
--- position given with {expr}.
--- For accepted positions see |getpos()|.
--- When {expr} is "$", it means the end of the cursor line, so
--- the result is the number of bytes in the cursor line plus one.
--- Additionally {expr} can be [lnum, col]: a |List| with the line
--- and column number. Most useful when the column is "$", to get
--- the last column of a specific line.  When "lnum" or "col" is
--- out of range then col() returns zero.
---
--- With the optional {winid} argument the values are obtained for
--- that window instead of the current window.
---
--- To get the line number use |line()|.  To get both use
--- |getpos()|.
---
--- For the screen column position use |virtcol()|.  For the
--- character position use |charcol()|.
---
--- Note that only marks in the current file can be used.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo col(".")      " column of cursor
---   echo col("$")      " length of cursor line plus one
---   echo col("'t")      " column of mark t
---   echo col("'" .. markname)  " column of mark markname
--- <
--- The first column is 1.  Returns 0 if {expr} is invalid or when
--- the window with ID {winid} is not found.
--- For an uppercase mark the column may actually be in another
--- buffer.
--- For the cursor position, when 'virtualedit' is active, the
--- column is one higher if the cursor is after the end of the
--- line.  Also, when using a <Cmd> mapping the cursor isn't
--- moved, this can be used to obtain the column in Insert mode: >vim
---   imap <F2> <Cmd>echo col(".").."\n"<CR>
--- <
---
--- @param expr string|any[]
--- @param winid? integer
--- @return integer

--- Set the matches for Insert mode completion.
--- Can only be used in Insert mode.  You need to use a mapping
--- with CTRL-R = (see |i_CTRL-R|).  It does not work after CTRL-O
--- or with an expression mapping.
--- {startcol} is the byte offset in the line where the completed
--- text start.  The text up to the cursor is the original text
--- that will be replaced by the matches.  Use col('.') for an
--- empty string.  "col('.') - 1" will replace one character by a
--- match.
--- {matches} must be a |List|.  Each |List| item is one match.
--- See |complete-items| for the kind of items that are possible.
--- "longest" in 'completeopt' is ignored.
--- Note that the after calling this function you need to avoid
--- inserting anything that would cause completion to stop.
--- The match can be selected with CTRL-N and CTRL-P as usual with
--- Insert mode completion.  The popup menu will appear if
--- specified, see |ins-completion-menu|.
--- Example: >vim
---   inoremap <F5> <C-R>=ListMonths()<CR>
---
---   func ListMonths()
---     call complete(col('.'), ['January', 'February', 'March',
---       \ 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September',

--- Adds a watcher to a dictionary. A dictionary watcher is
--- identified by three components:
---
--- - A dictionary({dict});
--- - A key pattern({pattern}).
--- - A function({callback}).
---
--- After this is called, every change on {dict} and on keys
--- matching {pattern} will result in {callback} being invoked.
---
--- For example, to watch all global variables: >vim
---   silent! call dictwatcherdel(g:, '*', 'OnDictChanged')
---   function! OnDictChanged(d,k,z)
---     echomsg string(a:k) string(a:z)
---   endfunction
---   call dictwatcheradd(g:, '*', 'OnDictChanged')
--- <
--- For now {pattern} only accepts very simple patterns that can
--- contain a "*" at the end of the string, in which case it will
--- match every key that begins with the substring before the "*".
--- That means if "*" is not the last character of {pattern}, only
--- keys that are exactly equal as {pattern} will be matched.
---
--- The {callback} receives three arguments:
---
--- - The dictionary being watched.
--- - The key which changed.
--- - A dictionary containing the new and old values for the key.
---
--- The type of change can be determined by examining the keys
--- present on the third argument:
---
--- - If contains both `old` and `new`, the key was updated.
--- - If it contains only `new`, the key was added.
--- - If it contains only `old`, the key was deleted.
---
--- This function can be used by plugins to implement options with
--- validation and parsing logic.

--- Returns |TRUE| when autocommands are being executed and the
--- FileType event has been triggered at least once.  Can be used
--- to avoid triggering the FileType event again in the scripts
--- that detect the file type. |FileType|
--- Returns |FALSE| when `:setf FALLBACK` was used.
--- When editing another file, the counter is reset, thus this
--- really checks if the FileType event has been triggered for the
--- current buffer.  This allows an autocommand that starts
--- editing another buffer to set 'filetype' and load a syntax
--- file.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.did_filetype() end

--- Returns the number of filler lines above line {lnum}.
--- These are the lines that were inserted at this point in
--- another diff'ed window.  These filler lines are shown in the

--- {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.  Thus "." is the current

--- Returns 0 if the current window is not in diff mode.
---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.diff_filler(lnum) end

--- Returns the highlight ID for diff mode at line {lnum} column
--- {col} (byte index).  When the current line does not have a
--- diff change zero is returned.
--- {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.  Thus "." is the current
--- line, "'m" mark m, etc.
--- {col} is 1 for the leftmost column, {lnum} is 1 for the first

--- is given and an empty string is returned.
---
--- Also see |digraph_getlist()|.
---
--- Examples: >vim
--- " Get a built-in digraph

--- " Get a user-defined digraph
--- call digraph_set('aa', 'あ')
--- echo digraph_get('aa')    " Returns 'あ'

--- Examples: >vim
--- " Get user-defined digraphs
--- echo digraph_getlist()
---
--- " Get all the digraphs, including default digraphs
--- echo digraph_getlist(1)
--- <
---
--- @param listall? boolean

--- Add digraph {chars} to the list.  {chars} must be a string
--- with two characters.  {digraph} is a string with one UTF-8
--- encoded character.  *E1215*
--- Be careful, composing characters are NOT ignored.  This
--- function is similar to |:digraphs| command, but useful to add
--- digraphs start with a white space.
---
--- The function result is v:true if |digraph| is registered.  If
--- this fails an error message is given and v:false is returned.
---
--- If you want to define multiple digraphs at once, you can use
--- |digraph_setlist()|.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   call digraph_set('  ', 'あ')
--- <
---
--- @param chars string
--- @param digraph string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.digraph_set(chars, digraph) end

--- Similar to |digraph_set()| but this function can add multiple
--- digraphs at once.  {digraphlist} is a list composed of lists,
--- where each list contains two strings with {chars} and
--- {digraph} as in |digraph_set()|. *E1216*
--- Example: >vim
---     call digraph_setlist([['aa', 'あ'], ['ii', 'い']])
--- <
--- It is similar to the following: >vim
---     for [chars, digraph] in [['aa', 'あ'], ['ii', 'い']]
---     call digraph_set(chars, digraph)
---     endfor
--- <Except that the function returns after the first error,

--- - A |String| is empty when its length is zero.
--- - A |Number| and |Float| are empty when their value is zero.

---   echo has_key(environ(), 'HOME')
--- <Note that the variable name may be CamelCase; to ignore case
--- use this: >vim
---   echo index(keys(environ()), 'HOME', 0, 1) != -1
--- <
---
--- @return any

--- Escape the characters in {chars} that occur in {string} with a

--- <Also see |shellescape()| and |fnameescape()|.
---
--- @param string string

--- Evaluate {string} and return the result.  Especially useful to
--- turn the result of |string()| back into the original value.
--- This works for Numbers, Floats, Strings, Blobs and composites
--- of them.  Also works for |Funcref|s that refer to existing
--- functions.
---
--- @param string string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.eval(string) end

--- Returns 1 when inside an event handler.  That is that Vim got
--- interrupted while waiting for the user to type a character,

--- commands cannot be used.  Otherwise zero is returned.
---
--- @return any
function vim.fn.eventhandler() end

--- This function checks if an executable with the name {expr}
--- exists.  {expr} must be the name of the program without any
--- arguments.
---
--- executable() uses the value of $PATH and/or the normal
--- searchpath for programs.
---           *PATHEXT*
--- On MS-Windows the ".exe", ".bat", etc. can optionally be
--- included.  Then the extensions in $PATHEXT are tried.  Thus if
--- "foo.exe" does not exist, "foo.exe.bat" can be found.  If
--- $PATHEXT is not set then ".com;.exe;.bat;.cmd" is used.  A dot
--- by itself can be used in $PATHEXT to try using the name
--- without an extension.  When 'shell' looks like a Unix shell,
--- then the name is also tried without adding an extension.
--- On MS-Windows it only checks if the file exists and is not a
--- directory, not if it's really executable.
--- On MS-Windows an executable in the same directory as the Vim
--- executable is always found (it's added to $PATH at |startup|).
---       *NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath*
--- On MS-Windows an executable in Vim's current working directory
--- is also normally found, but this can be disabled by setting
--- the $NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath environment variable.
---
--- The result is a Number:
---   1  exists
---   0  does not exist
--- |exepath()| can be used to get the full path of an executable.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return 0|1
function vim.fn.executable(expr) end

--- Execute {command} and capture its output.
--- If {command} is a |String|, returns {command} output.
--- If {command} is a |List|, returns concatenated outputs.

--- Examples: >vim
---   echo execute('echon "foo"')
--- <  foo >vim
---   echo execute(['echon "foo"', 'echon "bar"'])

---
--- The optional {silent} argument can have these values:
---   ""    no `:silent` used
---   "silent"  `:silent` used
---   "silent!"  `:silent!` used
--- The default is "silent".  Note that with "silent!", unlike
--- `:redir`, error messages are dropped.
---
--- To get a list of lines use `split()` on the result: >vim
---   execute('args')->split("\n")
---
--- <This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
--- Note: If nested, an outer execute() will not observe output of
--- the inner calls.
--- Note: Text attributes (highlights) are not captured.

--- use `win_execute()`.
---
--- @param command string|string[]
--- @param silent? ''|'silent'|'silent!'
--- @return string

--- If {expr} starts with "./" the |current-directory| is used.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return string

--- The result is a Number, which is |TRUE| if {expr} is
--- defined, zero otherwise.
---
--- For checking for a supported feature use |has()|.
--- For checking if a file exists use |filereadable()|.
---
--- The {expr} argument is a string, which contains one of these:
---   varname    internal variable (see
---   dict.key  |internal-variables|).  Also works
---   list[i]    for |curly-braces-names|, |Dictionary|
---       entries, |List| items, etc.
---       Beware that evaluating an index may
---       cause an error message for an invalid
---       expression.  E.g.: >vim
---          let l = [1, 2, 3]
---          echo exists("l[5]")
--- <         0 >vim
---          echo exists("l[xx]")
--- <         E121: Undefined variable: xx
---          0
---   &option-name  Vim option (only checks if it exists,
---       not if it really works)
---   +option-name  Vim option that works.
---   $ENVNAME  environment variable (could also be
---       done by comparing with an empty
---       string)
---   `*funcname`  built-in function (see |functions|)
---       or user defined function (see
---       |user-function|). Also works for a
---       variable that is a Funcref.
---   :cmdname  Ex command: built-in command, user
---       command or command modifier |:command|.
---       Returns:
---       1  for match with start of a command
---       2  full match with a command
---       3  matches several user commands
---       To check for a supported command
---       always check the return value to be 2.
---   :2match    The |:2match| command.
---   :3match    The |:3match| command (but you
---       probably should not use it, it is
---       reserved for internal usage)
---   #event    autocommand defined for this event
---   #event#pattern  autocommand defined for this event and
---       pattern (the pattern is taken
---       literally and compared to the

---       character)
---   #group    autocommand group exists
---   #group#event  autocommand defined for this group and
---       event.
---   #group#event#pattern
---       autocommand defined for this group,

--- Working example: >vim
---   echo exists(":make")

--- Expand wildcards and the following special keywords in

---
--- If {list} is given and it is |TRUE|, a List will be returned.
--- Otherwise the result is a String and when there are several

---
--- If the expansion fails, the result is an empty string.  A name
--- for a non-existing file is not included, unless {string} does
--- not start with '%', '#' or '<', see below.
---
--- When {string} starts with '%', '#' or '<', the expansion is
--- done like for the |cmdline-special| variables with their
--- associated modifiers.  Here is a short overview:
---
---   %    current file name
---   #    alternate file name
---   #n    alternate file name n
---   <cfile>    file name under the cursor
---   <afile>    autocmd file name
---   <abuf>    autocmd buffer number (as a String!)
---   <amatch>  autocmd matched name
---   <cexpr>    C expression under the cursor
---   <sfile>    sourced script file or function name
---   <slnum>    sourced script line number or function
---       line number
---   <sflnum>  script file line number, also when in
---       a function
---   <SID>    "<SNR>123_"  where "123" is the
---       current script ID  |<SID>|
---   <script>  sourced script file, or script file
---       where the current function was defined
---   <stack>    call stack
---   <cword>    word under the cursor
---   <cWORD>    WORD under the cursor
---   <client>  the {clientid} of the last received
---       message
--- Modifiers:
---   :p    expand to full path
---   :h    head (last path component removed)
---   :t    tail (last path component only)
---   :r    root (one extension removed)
---   :e    extension only
---
--- Example: >vim
---   let &tags = expand("%:p:h") .. "/tags"
--- <Note that when expanding a string that starts with '%', '#' or
--- '<', any following text is ignored.  This does NOT work: >vim
---   let doesntwork = expand("%:h.bak")
--- <Use this: >vim
---   let doeswork = expand("%:h") .. ".bak"
--- <Also note that expanding "<cfile>" and others only returns the
--- referenced file name without further expansion.  If "<cfile>"
--- is "~/.cshrc", you need to do another expand() to have the
--- "~/" expanded into the path of the home directory: >vim
---   echo expand(expand("<cfile>"))
--- <
--- There cannot be white space between the variables and the
--- following modifier.  The |fnamemodify()| function can be used
--- to modify normal file names.
---
--- When using '%' or '#', and the current or alternate file name
--- is not defined, an empty string is used.  Using "%:p" in a
--- buffer with no name, results in the current directory, with a
--- '/' added.
--- When 'verbose' is set then expanding '%', '#' and <> items
--- will result in an error message if the argument cannot be
--- expanded.
---
--- When {string} does not start with '%', '#' or '<', it is
--- expanded like a file name is expanded on the command line.
--- 'suffixes' and 'wildignore' are used, unless the optional
--- {nosuf} argument is given and it is |TRUE|.
--- Names for non-existing files are included.  The "**" item can
--- be used to search in a directory tree.  For example, to find
--- all "README" files in the current directory and below: >vim
---   echo expand("**/README")
--- <
--- expand() can also be used to expand variables and environment
--- variables that are only known in a shell.  But this can be
--- slow, because a shell may be used to do the expansion.  See
--- |expr-env-expand|.
--- The expanded variable is still handled like a list of file
--- names.  When an environment variable cannot be expanded, it is
--- left unchanged.  Thus ":echo expand('$FOOBAR')" results in
--- "$FOOBAR".
---
--- See |glob()| for finding existing files.  See |system()| for
--- getting the raw output of an external command.

--- Expand special items in String {string} like what is done for
--- an Ex command such as `:edit`.  This expands special keywords,
--- like with |expand()|, and environment variables, anywhere in
--- {string}.  "~user" and "~/path" are only expanded at the
--- start.
---
--- The following items are supported in the {options} Dict
--- argument:

---     if an error is encountered during expansion.
---     By default, error messages are not displayed.
---
--- Returns the expanded string.  If an error is encountered
--- during expansion, the unmodified {string} is returned.

--- <
--- If they are |Dictionaries|:
--- Add all entries from {expr2} to {expr1}.
--- If a key exists in both {expr1} and {expr2} then {expr3} is

--- {expr3} = "keep": keep the value of {expr1}
--- {expr3} = "force": use the value of {expr2}
--- {expr3} = "error": give an error message    *E737*
--- When {expr3} is omitted then "force" is assumed.
---
--- {expr1} is changed when {expr2} is not empty.  If necessary
--- make a copy of {expr1} first or use |extendnew()| to return a

--- {expr2} remains unchanged.
--- When {expr1} is locked and {expr2} is not empty the operation

--- Characters in {string} are queued for processing as if they
--- come from a mapping or were typed by the user.
---
--- By default the string is added to the end of the typeahead
--- buffer, thus if a mapping is still being executed the
--- characters come after them.  Use the 'i' flag to insert before
--- other characters, they will be executed next, before any
--- characters from a mapping.
---
--- The function does not wait for processing of keys contained in
--- {string}.
---
--- To include special keys into {string}, use double-quotes
--- and "\..." notation |expr-quote|. For example,
--- feedkeys("\<CR>") simulates pressing of the <Enter> key. But
--- feedkeys('\<CR>') pushes 5 characters.
--- The |<Ignore>| keycode may be used to exit the
--- wait-for-character without doing anything.
---
--- {mode} is a String, which can contain these character flags:
--- 'm'  Remap keys. This is default.  If {mode} is absent,
---   keys are remapped.
--- 'n'  Do not remap keys.
--- 't'  Handle keys as if typed; otherwise they are handled as
---   if coming from a mapping.  This matters for undo,
---   opening folds, etc.
--- 'L'  Lowlevel input.  Other flags are not used.
--- 'i'  Insert the string instead of appending (see above).
--- 'x'  Execute commands until typeahead is empty.  This is
---   similar to using ":normal!".  You can call feedkeys()
---   several times without 'x' and then one time with 'x'

---   Note that if you manage to call feedkeys() while

---   all typeahead will be consumed by the last call.
--- '!'  When used with 'x' will not end Insert mode. Can be
---   used in a test when a timer is set to exit Insert mode
---   a little later.  Useful for testing CursorHoldI.

--- Copy the file pointed to by the name {from} to {to}. The
--- result is a Number, which is |TRUE| if the file was copied
--- successfully, and |FALSE| when it failed.
--- If a file with name {to} already exists, it will fail.
--- Note that it does not handle directories (yet).
---
--- This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
---
--- @param from string
--- @param to string
--- @return 0|1
function vim.fn.filecopy(from, to) end

--- The result is a Number, which is |TRUE| when a file with the
--- name {file} exists, and can be read.  If {file} doesn't exist,
--- or is a directory, the result is |FALSE|.  {file} is any
--- expression, which is used as a String.
--- If you don't care about the file being readable you can use
--- |glob()|.
--- {file} is used as-is, you may want to expand wildcards first: >vim
---   echo filereadable('~/.vimrc')
--- < >
---   0
--- < >vim
---   echo filereadable(expand('~/.vimrc'))
--- < >
---   1
--- <
---
--- @param file string
--- @return 0|1

--- The result is a Number, which is 1 when a file with the
--- name {file} exists, and can be written.  If {file} doesn't
--- exist, or is not writable, the result is 0.  If {file} is a
--- directory, and we can write to it, the result is 2.

--- {expr1} must be a |List|, |String|, |Blob| or |Dictionary|.
--- For each item in {expr1} evaluate {expr2} and when the result
--- is zero or false remove the item from the |List| or
--- |Dictionary|.  Similarly for each byte in a |Blob| and each
--- character in a |String|.
---
--- {expr2} must be a |string| or |Funcref|.
---
--- If {expr2} is a |string|, inside {expr2} |v:val| has the value
--- of the current item.  For a |Dictionary| |v:key| has the key
--- of the current item and for a |List| |v:key| has the index of
--- the current item.  For a |Blob| |v:key| has the index of the
--- current byte. For a |String| |v:key| has the index of the
--- current character.
--- Examples: >vim
---   call filter(mylist, 'v:val !~ "OLD"')
--- <Removes the items where "OLD" appears. >vim
---   call filter(mydict, 'v:key >= 8')
--- <Removes the items with a key below 8. >vim
---   call filter(var, 0)
--- <Removes all the items, thus clears the |List| or |Dictionary|.
---
--- Note that {expr2} is the result of expression and is then
--- used as an expression again.  Often it is good to use a
--- |literal-string| to avoid having to double backslashes.
---
--- If {expr2} is a |Funcref| it must take two arguments:
---   1. the key or the index of the current item.
---   2. the value of the current item.
--- The function must return |TRUE| if the item should be kept.
--- Example that keeps the odd items of a list: >vim
---   func Odd(idx, val)
---     return a:idx % 2 == 1
---   endfunc
---   call filter(mylist, function('Odd'))
--- <It is shorter when using a |lambda|: >vim
---   call filter(myList, {idx, val -> idx * val <= 42})
--- <If you do not use "val" you can leave it out: >vim
---   call filter(myList, {idx -> idx % 2 == 1})
--- <
--- For a |List| and a |Dictionary| the operation is done
--- in-place.  If you want it to remain unmodified make a copy
--- first: >vim
---   let l = filter(copy(mylist), 'v:val =~ "KEEP"')
---
--- <Returns {expr1}, the |List| or |Dictionary| that was filtered,
--- or a new |Blob| or |String|.
--- When an error is encountered while evaluating {expr2} no
--- further items in {expr1} are processed.
--- When {expr2} is a Funcref errors inside a function are ignored,
--- unless it was defined with the "abort" flag.

--- Find directory {name} in {path}.  Supports both downwards and

--- for the syntax of {path}.
---
--- Returns the path of the first found match.  When the found
--- directory is below the current directory a relative path is
--- returned.  Otherwise a full path is returned.
--- If {path} is omitted or empty then 'path' is used.
---
--- If the optional {count} is given, find {count}'s occurrence of
--- {name} in {path} instead of the first one.
--- When {count} is negative return all the matches in a |List|.
---
--- Returns an empty string if the directory is not found.
---
--- This is quite similar to the ex-command `:find`.
---
--- @param name string
--- @param path? string
--- @param count? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.finddir(name, path, count) end

--- Just like |finddir()|, but find a file instead of a directory.
--- Uses 'suffixesadd'.
--- Example: >vim

--- Flatten {list} up to {maxdepth} levels.  Without {maxdepth}
--- the result is a |List| without nesting, as if {maxdepth} is
--- a very large number.
--- The {list} is changed in place, use |flattennew()| if you do
--- not want that.
---             *E900*
--- {maxdepth} means how deep in nested lists changes are made.
--- {list} is not modified when {maxdepth} is 0.
--- {maxdepth} must be positive number.
---
--- If there is an error the number zero is returned.
---
--- Example: >vim

--- <  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >vim
---   echo flatten([1, [2, [3, 4]], 5], 1)

---
--- @param list any[]
--- @param maxdepth? integer
--- @return any[]|0

--- @param list any[]
--- @param maxdepth? integer
--- @return any[]|0
function vim.fn.flattennew(list, maxdepth) end

--- Convert {expr} to a Number by omitting the part after the
--- decimal point.
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- When the value of {expr} is out of range for a |Number| the
--- result is truncated to 0x7fffffff or -0x7fffffff (or when
--- 64-bit Number support is enabled, 0x7fffffffffffffff or
--- -0x7fffffffffffffff).  NaN results in -0x80000000 (or when
--- 64-bit Number support is enabled, -0x8000000000000000).
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo float2nr(3.95)
--- <  3  >vim
---   echo float2nr(-23.45)
--- <  -23  >vim
---   echo float2nr(1.0e100)

--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim

---   echo floor(-5.456)
--- <  -6.0  >vim
---   echo floor(4.0)
--- <  4.0
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return any

--- Return the remainder of {expr1} / {expr2}, even if the

--- for some integer i such that if {expr2} is non-zero, the
--- result has the same sign as {expr1} and magnitude less than
--- the magnitude of {expr2}.  If {expr2} is zero, the value

--- {expr1} and {expr2} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr1} or {expr2} is not a |Float| or a

--- Examples: >vim
---   echo fmod(12.33, 1.22)
--- <  0.13 >vim

--- <  -0.13
---
--- @param expr1 number
--- @param expr2 number
--- @return any
function vim.fn.fmod(expr1, expr2) end

--- Escape {string} for use as file name command argument.  All
--- characters that have a special meaning, such as `'%'` and `'|'`
--- are escaped with a backslash.
--- For most systems the characters escaped are
--- " \t\n*?[{`$\\%#'\"|!<".  For systems where a backslash
--- appears in a filename, it depends on the value of 'isfname'.
--- A leading '+' and '>' is also escaped (special after |:edit|
--- and |:write|).  And a "-" by itself (special after |:cd|).
--- Returns an empty string on error.
--- Example: >vim
---   let fname = '+some str%nge|name'
---   exe "edit " .. fnameescape(fname)
--- <results in executing: >vim
---   edit \+some\ str\%nge\|name
--- <
---
--- @param string string

--- Example: >vim
---   echo fnamemodify("main.c", ":p:h")
--- <results in: >
---   /home/user/vim/vim/src
--- <If {mods} is empty or an unsupported modifier is used then
--- {fname} is returned.
--- When {fname} is empty then with {mods} ":h" returns ".", so

function vim.fn.fnamemodify(fname, mods) end

--- The result is a Number.  If the line {lnum} is in a closed
--- fold, the result is the number of the first line in that fold.
--- If the line {lnum} is not in a closed fold, -1 is returned.

---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.foldclosed(lnum) end

--- The result is a Number.  If the line {lnum} is in a closed

--- When used while updating folds (from 'foldexpr') -1 is
--- returned for lines where folds are still to be updated and the

--- Returns a String, to be displayed for a closed fold.  This is
--- the default function used for the 'foldtext' option and should
--- only be called from evaluating 'foldtext'.  It uses the
--- |v:foldstart|, |v:foldend| and |v:folddashes| variables.
--- The returned string looks like this: >
---   +-- 45 lines: abcdef
--- <The number of leading dashes depends on the foldlevel.  The

---
--- {expr2} must be a |string| or |Funcref|.
---
--- If {expr2} is a |string|, inside {expr2} |v:val| has the value
--- of the current item.  For a |Dictionary| |v:key| has the key
--- of the current item and for a |List| |v:key| has the index of

--- Examples: >vim
---   call foreach(mylist, 'let used[v:val] = v:true')

--- Unlike |function()|, {name} must be an existing user function.
--- It only works for an autoloaded function if it has already

--- Return a |Funcref| variable that refers to function {name}.
--- {name} can be the name of a user defined function or an

---   let FuncWithArg = function(dict.Func, [arg])
---   let Broken = function(dict.Func, [arg], dict)
--- <
--- When using the Funcref the function will be found by {name},
--- also when it was redefined later. Use |funcref()| to keep the
--- same function.
---
--- When {arglist} or {dict} is present this creates a partial.
--- That means the argument list and/or the dictionary is stored in
--- the Funcref and will be used when the Funcref is called.
---
--- The arguments are passed to the function in front of other
--- arguments, but after any argument from |method|.  Example: >vim

---   let Partial = function('Callback', ['one', 'two'])
---   "...
---   call Partial('name')

--- <With a |method|: >vim
---   func Callback(one, two, three)
---   "...
---   endfunc
---   let Partial = function('Callback', ['two'])
---   "...
---   eval 'one'->Partial('three')
--- <Invokes the function as with: >vim
---   call Callback('one', 'two', 'three')
---
--- <The function() call can be nested to add more arguments to the

--- <Invokes the function as with: >vim
---   call Callback('one', 'two', 'name')
---
--- <The Dictionary is only useful when calling a "dict" function.
--- In that case the {dict} is passed in as "self". Example: >vim
---   function Callback() dict
---      echo "called for " .. self.name
---   endfunction
---   "...
---   let context = {"name": "example"}
---   let Func = function('Callback', context)
---   "...
---   call Func()  " will echo: called for example
--- <The use of function() is not needed when there are no extra

---
--- <The argument list and the Dictionary can be combined: >vim

---
--- When the optional {atexit} argument is one, garbage

---       echo buf.name
---   endfor
---   for buf in getbufinfo({'buflisted':1})
---       if buf.changed
---     " ....
---       endif
---   endfor
--- <
--- To get buffer-local options use: >vim
---   getbufvar({bufnr}, '&option_name')
--- <
---
--- @param dict? vim.fn.getbufinfo.dict
--- @return vim.fn.getbufinfo.ret.item[]
function vim.fn.getbufinfo(dict) end

--- Return a |List| with the lines starting from {lnum} to {end}
--- (inclusive) in the buffer {buf}.  If {end} is omitted, a
--- |List| with only the line {lnum} is returned.  See
--- `getbufoneline()` for only getting the line.
---
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()| above.
---
--- For {lnum} and {end} "$" can be used for the last line of the
--- buffer.  Otherwise a number must be used.
---
--- When {lnum} is smaller than 1 or bigger than the number of
--- lines in the buffer, an empty |List| is returned.
---
--- When {end} is greater than the number of lines in the buffer,
--- it is treated as {end} is set to the number of lines in the
--- buffer.  When {end} is before {lnum} an empty |List| is
--- returned.
---
--- This function works only for loaded buffers.  For unloaded and
--- non-existing buffers, an empty |List| is returned.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   let lines = getbufline(bufnr("myfile"), 1, "$")
--- <
---
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @param lnum integer
--- @param end_? integer
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.getbufline(buf, lnum, end_) end

--- Just like `getbufline()` but only get one line and return it
--- as a string.
---
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @param lnum integer
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getbufoneline(buf, lnum) end

--- The result is the value of option or local buffer variable
--- {varname} in buffer {buf}.  Note that the name without "b:"
--- must be used.
--- The {varname} argument is a string.
--- When {varname} is empty returns a |Dictionary| with all the
--- buffer-local variables.
--- When {varname} is equal to "&" returns a |Dictionary| with all
--- the buffer-local options.
--- Otherwise, when {varname} starts with "&" returns the value of
--- a buffer-local option.
--- This also works for a global or buffer-local option, but it
--- doesn't work for a global variable, window-local variable or
--- window-local option.
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()| above.
--- When the buffer or variable doesn't exist {def} or an empty
--- string is returned, there is no error message.
--- Examples: >vim
---   let bufmodified = getbufvar(1, "&mod")
---   echo "todo myvar = " .. getbufvar("todo", "myvar")
---
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @param varname string
--- @param def? any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.getbufvar(buf, varname, def) end

--- Returns a |List| of cell widths of character ranges overridden
--- by |setcellwidths()|.  The format is equal to the argument of
--- |setcellwidths()|.  If no character ranges have their cell
--- widths overridden, an empty List is returned.
---
--- @return any
function vim.fn.getcellwidths() end

--- Returns the |changelist| for the buffer {buf}. For the use
--- of {buf}, see |bufname()| above. If buffer {buf} doesn't
--- exist, an empty list is returned.
---
--- The returned list contains two entries: a list with the change
--- locations and the current position in the list.  Each
--- entry in the change list is a dictionary with the following
--- entries:
---   col    column number
---   coladd    column offset for 'virtualedit'
---   lnum    line number
--- If buffer {buf} is the current buffer, then the current
--- position refers to the position in the list. For other
--- buffers, it is set to the length of the list.
---
--- @param buf? integer|string
--- @return table[]
function vim.fn.getchangelist(buf) end

--- Get a single character from the user or input stream.
--- If {expr} is omitted or is -1, wait until a character is
---   available.
--- If {expr} is 0, only get a character when one is available.
---   Return zero otherwise.
--- If {expr} is 1, only check if a character is available, it is
---   not consumed.  Return zero if no character available.
--- If you prefer always getting a string use |getcharstr()|, or
--- specify |FALSE| as "number" in {opts}.
---
--- Without {expr} and when {expr} is 0 a whole character or
--- special key is returned.  If it is a single character, the
--- result is a Number.  Use |nr2char()| to convert it to a String.
--- Otherwise a String is returned with the encoded character.
--- For a special key it's a String with a sequence of bytes
--- starting with 0x80 (decimal: 128).  This is the same value as
--- the String "\<Key>", e.g., "\<Left>".  The returned value is
--- also a String when a modifier (shift, control, alt) was used
--- that is not included in the character.  |keytrans()| can also
--- be used to convert a returned String into a readable form.
---
--- When {expr} is 0 and Esc is typed, there will be a short delay
--- while Vim waits to see if this is the start of an escape
--- sequence.
---
--- When {expr} is 1 only the first byte is returned.  For a
--- one-byte character it is the character itself as a number.
--- Use nr2char() to convert it to a String.
---
--- Use getcharmod() to obtain any additional modifiers.
---
--- The optional argument {opts} is a Dict and supports the
--- following items:
---
---   cursor    A String specifying cursor behavior
---       when waiting for a character.
---       "hide": hide the cursor.
---       "keep": keep current cursor unchanged.
---       "msg": move cursor to message area.
---       (default: automagically decide
---       between "keep" and "msg")
---
---   number    If |TRUE|, return a Number when getting
---       a single character.
---       If |FALSE|, the return value is always
---       converted to a String, and an empty
---       String (instead of 0) is returned when
---       no character is available.
---       (default: |TRUE|)
---
---   simplify  If |TRUE|, include modifiers in the
---       character if possible.  E.g., return
---       the same value for CTRL-I and <Tab>.
---       If |FALSE|, don't include modifiers in
---       the character.
---       (default: |TRUE|)
---
--- When the user clicks a mouse button, the mouse event will be
--- returned.  The position can then be found in |v:mouse_col|,
--- |v:mouse_lnum|, |v:mouse_winid| and |v:mouse_win|.
--- |getmousepos()| can also be used.  Mouse move events will be
--- ignored.
--- This example positions the mouse as it would normally happen: >vim
---   let c = getchar()
---   if c == "\<LeftMouse>" && v:mouse_win > 0
---     exe v:mouse_win .. "wincmd w"
---     exe v:mouse_lnum
---     exe "normal " .. v:mouse_col .. "|"
---   endif
--- <
--- There is no prompt, you will somehow have to make clear to the
--- user that a character has to be typed.  The screen is not
--- redrawn, e.g. when resizing the window.
---
--- There is no mapping for the character.
--- Key codes are replaced, thus when the user presses the <Del>
--- key you get the code for the <Del> key, not the raw character
--- sequence.  Examples: >vim
---   getchar() == "\<Del>"
---   getchar() == "\<S-Left>"
--- <This example redefines "f" to ignore case: >vim
---   nmap f :call FindChar()<CR>
---   function FindChar()
---     let c = nr2char(getchar())
---     while col('.') < col('$') - 1
---       normal l
---       if getline('.')[col('.') - 1] ==? c
---         break
---       endif
---     endwhile
---   endfunction
--- <
---
--- @param expr? -1|0|1
--- @param opts? table
--- @return integer|string
function vim.fn.getchar(expr, opts) end

--- The result is a Number which is the state of the modifiers for
--- the last obtained character with getchar() or in another way.
--- These values are added together:
---   2  shift
---   4  control
---   8  alt (meta)
---   16  meta (when it's different from ALT)
---   32  mouse double click
---   64  mouse triple click
---   96  mouse quadruple click (== 32 + 64)
---   128  command (Mac) or super
--- Only the modifiers that have not been included in the
--- character itself are obtained.  Thus Shift-a results in "A"
--- without a modifier.  Returns 0 if no modifiers are used.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.getcharmod() end

--- Get the position for String {expr}. Same as |getpos()| but the
--- column number in the returned List is a character index
--- instead of a byte index.
--- If |getpos()| returns a very large column number, equal to
--- |v:maxcol|, then getcharpos() will return the character index
--- of the last character.
---
--- Example:
--- With the cursor on '세' in line 5 with text "여보세요": >vim
---   getcharpos('.')    returns [0, 5, 3, 0]
---   getpos('.')    returns [0, 5, 7, 0]
--- <
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return integer[]
function vim.fn.getcharpos(expr) end

--- Return the current character search information as a {dict}
--- with the following entries:
---
---     char  character previously used for a character
---     search (|t|, |f|, |T|, or |F|); empty string
---     if no character search has been performed
---     forward  direction of character search; 1 for forward,
---     0 for backward
---     until  type of character search; 1 for a |t| or |T|
---     character search, 0 for an |f| or |F|
---     character search
---
--- This can be useful to always have |;| and |,| search
--- forward/backward regardless of the direction of the previous
--- character search: >vim
---   nnoremap <expr> ; getcharsearch().forward ? ';' : ','
---   nnoremap <expr> , getcharsearch().forward ? ',' : ';'
--- <Also see |setcharsearch()|.
---
--- @return table
function vim.fn.getcharsearch() end

--- The same as |getchar()|, except that this always returns a
--- String, and "number" isn't allowed in {opts}.

--- @param expr? -1|0|1
--- @param opts? table
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getcharstr(expr, opts) end

--- See |wildcards| for the use of special characters in {pat}.
---
--- If the optional {filtered} flag is set to 1, then 'wildignore'
--- is applied to filter the results.  Otherwise all the matches

---
--- If the 'wildoptions' option contains "fuzzy", then fuzzy

--- follows the user preference, what happens on the command line.
--- If you do not want this you can make 'wildoptions' empty
--- before calling getcompletion() and restore it afterwards.

--- Get the position of the cursor.  This is like getpos('.'), but
--- includes an extra "curswant" item in the list:
---     [0, lnum, col, off, curswant] ~
--- The "curswant" number is the preferred column when moving the
--- cursor vertically.  After |$| command it will be a very large
--- number equal to |v:maxcol|.  Also see |getcursorcharpos()| and
--- |getpos()|.
--- The first "bufnum" item is always zero. The byte position of
--- the cursor is returned in "col". To get the character
--- position, use |getcursorcharpos()|.
---
--- The optional {winid} argument can specify the window.  It can
--- be the window number or the |window-ID|.  The last known
--- cursor position is returned, this may be invalid for the
--- current value of the buffer if it is not the current window.
--- If {winid} is invalid a list with zeroes is returned.
---
--- This can be used to save and restore the cursor position: >vim
---   let save_cursor = getcurpos()
---   MoveTheCursorAround
---   call setpos('.', save_cursor)
--- <Note that this only works within the window.  See
--- |winrestview()| for restoring more state.
---
--- @param winid? integer
--- @return any

--- Same as |getcurpos()| but the column number in the returned
--- List is a character index instead of a byte index.
---
--- Example:
--- With the cursor on '보' in line 3 with text "여보세요": >vim
---   getcursorcharpos()  " returns [0, 3, 2, 0, 3]
---   getcurpos()    " returns [0, 3, 4, 0, 3]
--- <

--- With no arguments, returns the name of the effective
--- |current-directory|. With {winnr} or {tabnr} the working
--- directory of that scope is returned, and 'autochdir' is
--- ignored.
--- Tabs and windows are identified by their respective numbers,
--- 0 means current tab or window. Missing tab number implies 0.
--- Thus the following are equivalent: >vim
---   getcwd(0)
---   getcwd(0, 0)
--- <If {winnr} is -1 it is ignored, only the tab is resolved.
--- {winnr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- If both {winnr} and {tabnr} are -1 the global working

--- Throw error if the arguments are invalid. |E5000| |E5001| |E5002|
---
--- @param winnr? integer
--- @param tabnr? integer
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getcwd(winnr, tabnr) end

--- Return the value of environment variable {name}.  The {name}
--- argument is a string, without a leading '$'.  Example: >vim
---   myHome = getenv('HOME')
---
--- <When the variable does not exist |v:null| is returned.  That
--- is different from a variable set to an empty string.
--- See also |expr-env|.
---
--- @param name string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getenv(name) end

--- Without an argument returns the name of the normal font being
--- used.  Like what is used for the Normal highlight group
--- |hl-Normal|.
--- With an argument a check is done whether String {name} is a
--- valid font name.  If not then an empty string is returned.
--- Otherwise the actual font name is returned, or {name} if the
--- GUI does not support obtaining the real name.
--- Only works when the GUI is running, thus not in your vimrc or
--- gvimrc file.  Use the |GUIEnter| autocommand to use this
--- function just after the GUI has started.
---
--- @param name? string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getfontname(name) end

--- The result is a String, which is the read, write, and execute
--- permissions of the given file {fname}.
--- If {fname} does not exist or its directory cannot be read, an
--- empty string is returned.
--- The result is of the form "rwxrwxrwx", where each group of
--- "rwx" flags represent, in turn, the permissions of the owner
--- of the file, the group the file belongs to, and other users.
--- If a user does not have a given permission the flag for this
--- is replaced with the string "-".  Examples: >vim
---   echo getfperm("/etc/passwd")
---   echo getfperm(expand("~/.config/nvim/init.vim"))
--- <This will hopefully (from a security point of view) display
--- the string "rw-r--r--" or even "rw-------".
---
--- For setting permissions use |setfperm()|.
---
--- @param fname string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.getfperm(fname) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the size in bytes of the
--- given file {fname}.
--- If {fname} is a directory, 0 is returned.
--- If the file {fname} can't be found, -1 is returned.
--- If the size of {fname} is too big to fit in a Number then -2
--- is returned.

--- the given file {fname}.  The value is measured as seconds
--- since 1st Jan 1970, and may be passed to strftime().  See also
--- |localtime()| and |strftime()|.
--- If the file {fname} can't be found -1 is returned.
---
--- @param fname string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.getftime(fname) end

--- The result is a String, which is a description of the kind of
--- file of the given file {fname}.
--- If {fname} does not exist an empty string is returned.
--- Here is a table over different kinds of files and their
--- results:
---   Normal file    "file"
---   Directory    "dir"
---   Symbolic link    "link"
---   Block device    "bdev"
---   Character device  "cdev"
---   Socket      "socket"
---   FIFO      "fifo"
---   All other    "other"
--- Example: >vim
---   getftype("/home")
--- <Note that a type such as "link" will only be returned on
--- systems that support it.  On some systems only "dir" and
--- "file" are returned.
---
--- @param fname string

--- Returns the |jumplist| for the specified window.
---
--- Without arguments use the current window.
--- With {winnr} only use this window in the current tab page.
--- {winnr} can also be a |window-ID|.
--- With {winnr} and {tabnr} use the window in the specified tab
--- page.  If {winnr} or {tabnr} is invalid, an empty list is
--- returned.
---
--- The returned list contains two entries: a list with the jump
--- locations and the last used jump position number in the list.
--- Each entry in the jump location list is a dictionary with
--- the following entries:
---   bufnr    buffer number
---   col    column number
---   coladd    column offset for 'virtualedit'
---   filename  filename if available
---   lnum    line number
---
--- @param winnr? integer
--- @param tabnr? integer
--- @return vim.fn.getjumplist.ret
function vim.fn.getjumplist(winnr, tabnr) end

--- Without {end} the result is a String, which is line {lnum}
--- from the current buffer.  Example: >vim
---   getline(1)
--- <When {lnum} is a String that doesn't start with a
--- digit, |line()| is called to translate the String into a Number.
--- To get the line under the cursor: >vim
---   getline(".")
--- <When {lnum} is a number smaller than 1 or bigger than the
--- number of lines in the buffer, an empty string is returned.
---
--- When {end} is given the result is a |List| where each item is
--- a line from the current buffer in the range {lnum} to {end},
--- including line {end}.
--- {end} is used in the same way as {lnum}.
--- Non-existing lines are silently omitted.
--- When {end} is before {lnum} an empty |List| is returned.
--- Example: >vim
---   let start = line('.')
---   let end = search("^$") - 1
---   let lines = getline(start, end)
---
--- <To get lines from another buffer see |getbufline()| and

--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @param end_ true|number|string|table
--- @return string|string[]
function vim.fn.getline(lnum, end_) end

--- Returns a |List| with all the entries in the location list for
--- window {nr}.  {nr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- When {nr} is zero the current window is used.
---
--- For a location list window, the displayed location list is
--- returned.  For an invalid window number {nr}, an empty list is
--- returned. Otherwise, same as |getqflist()|.
---
--- If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then
--- returns the items listed in {what} as a dictionary. Refer to
--- |getqflist()| for the supported items in {what}.
---
--- In addition to the items supported by |getqflist()| in {what},
--- the following item is supported by |getloclist()|:
---
---   filewinid  id of the window used to display files
---       from the location list. This field is
---       applicable only when called from a
---       location list window. See
---       |location-list-file-window| for more
---       details.
---
--- Returns a |Dictionary| with default values if there is no
--- location list for the window {nr}.
--- Returns an empty Dictionary if window {nr} does not exist.
---
--- Examples (See also |getqflist-examples|): >vim
---   echo getloclist(3, {'all': 0})
---   echo getloclist(5, {'filewinid': 0})
--- <
---
--- @param nr integer

--- Without the {buf} argument returns a |List| with information
--- about all the global marks. |mark|
---
--- If the optional {buf} argument is specified, returns the
--- local marks defined in buffer {buf}.  For the use of {buf},
--- see |bufname()|.  If {buf} is invalid, an empty list is
--- returned.
---
--- Each item in the returned List is a |Dict| with the following:
---     mark   name of the mark prefixed by "'"
---     pos     a |List| with the position of the mark:
---     [bufnum, lnum, col, off]
---      Refer to |getpos()| for more information.
---     file   file name
---
--- Refer to |getpos()| for getting information about a specific
--- mark.
---
--- @param buf? integer?
--- @return vim.fn.getmarklist.ret.item[]
function vim.fn.getmarklist(buf) end

--- Returns a |List| with all matches previously defined for the
--- current window by |matchadd()| and the |:match| commands.
--- |getmatches()| is useful in combination with |setmatches()|,
--- as |setmatches()| can restore a list of matches saved by
--- |getmatches()|.
--- If {win} is specified, use the window with this number or
--- window ID instead of the current window.  If {win} is invalid,
--- an empty list is returned.
--- Example: >vim
---   echo getmatches()
--- < >
---   [{"group": "MyGroup1", "pattern": "TODO",
---   "priority": 10, "id": 1}, {"group": "MyGroup2",
---   "pattern": "FIXME", "priority": 10, "id": 2}]
--- < >vim
---   let m = getmatches()
---   call clearmatches()
---   echo getmatches()
--- < >
---   []
--- < >vim
---   call setmatches(m)
---   echo getmatches()
--- < >
---   [{"group": "MyGroup1", "pattern": "TODO",
---   "priority": 10, "id": 1}, {"group": "MyGroup2",
---   "pattern": "FIXME", "priority": 10, "id": 2}]
--- < >vim
---   unlet m
--- <
---
--- @param win? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.getmatches(win) end

--- Returns a |Dictionary| with the last known position of the
--- mouse.  This can be used in a mapping for a mouse click.  The
--- items are:
---   screenrow  screen row
---   screencol  screen column
---   winid    Window ID of the click
---   winrow    row inside "winid"
---   wincol    column inside "winid"
---   line    text line inside "winid"
---   column    text column inside "winid"
---   coladd    offset (in screen columns) from the
---       start of the clicked char
--- All numbers are 1-based.
---
--- If not over a window, e.g. when in the command line, then only
--- "screenrow" and "screencol" are valid, the others are zero.
---
--- When on the status line below a window or the vertical
--- separator right of a window, the "line" and "column" values
--- are zero.
---
--- When the position is after the text then "column" is the
--- length of the text in bytes plus one.
---
--- If the mouse is over a focusable floating window then that
--- window is used.
---
--- When using |getchar()| the Vim variables |v:mouse_lnum|,
--- |v:mouse_col| and |v:mouse_winid| also provide these values.
---
--- @return vim.fn.getmousepos.ret
function vim.fn.getmousepos() end

--- Return a Number which is the process ID of the Vim process.
--- This is a unique number, until Vim exits.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.getpid() end

--- Get the position for String {expr}.
--- The accepted values for {expr} are:
---     .      The cursor position.
---     $      The last line in the current buffer.
---     'x      Position of mark x (if the mark is not set, 0 is
---       returned for all values).
---     w0      First line visible in current window (one if the
---       display isn't updated, e.g. in silent Ex mode).
---     w$      Last line visible in current window (this is one
---       less than "w0" if no lines are visible).
---     v      When not in Visual mode, returns the cursor
---       position.  In Visual mode, returns the other end
---       of the Visual area.  A good way to think about
---       this is that in Visual mode "v" and "." complement
---       each other.  While "." refers to the cursor
---       position, "v" refers to where |v_o| would move the
---       cursor.  As a result, you can use "v" and "."
---       together to work on all of a selection in
---       characterwise Visual mode.  If the cursor is at
---       the end of a characterwise Visual area, "v" refers
---       to the start of the same Visual area.  And if the
---       cursor is at the start of a characterwise Visual
---       area, "v" refers to the end of the same Visual
---       area.  "v" differs from |'<| and |'>| in that it's
---       updated right away.
--- Note that a mark in another file can be used.  The line number
--- then applies to another buffer.
---
--- The result is a |List| with four numbers:
---     [bufnum, lnum, col, off]
--- "bufnum" is zero, unless a mark like '0 or 'A is used, then it
--- is the buffer number of the mark.
--- "lnum" and "col" are the position in the buffer.  The first
--- column is 1.
--- The "off" number is zero, unless 'virtualedit' is used.  Then
--- it is the offset in screen columns from the start of the
--- character.  E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last
--- character.
---
--- For getting the cursor position see |getcurpos()|.
--- The column number in the returned List is the byte position
--- within the line. To get the character position in the line,
--- use |getcharpos()|.
---
--- Note that for '< and '> Visual mode matters: when it is "V"
--- (visual line mode) the column of '< is zero and the column of
--- '> is a large number equal to |v:maxcol|.
--- A very large column number equal to |v:maxcol| can be returned,
--- in which case it means "after the end of the line".
--- If {expr} is invalid, returns a list with all zeros.
---
--- This can be used to save and restore the position of a mark: >vim
---   let save_a_mark = getpos("'a")
---   " ...
---   call setpos("'a", save_a_mark)
--- <
--- Also see |getcharpos()|, |getcurpos()| and |setpos()|.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return integer[]
function vim.fn.getpos(expr) end

--- Returns a |List| with all the current quickfix errors.  Each
--- list item is a dictionary with these entries:
---   bufnr  number of buffer that has the file name, use
---     bufname() to get the name
---   module  module name
---   lnum  line number in the buffer (first line is 1)
---   end_lnum
---     end of line number if the item is multiline
---   col  column number (first column is 1)
---   end_col  end of column number if the item has range
---   vcol  |TRUE|: "col" is visual column
---     |FALSE|: "col" is byte index
---   nr  error number
---   pattern  search pattern used to locate the error
---   text  description of the error
---   type  type of the error, 'E', '1', etc.
---   valid  |TRUE|: recognized error message
---   user_data
---     custom data associated with the item, can be
---     any type.
---
--- When there is no error list or it's empty, an empty list is
--- returned. Quickfix list entries with a non-existing buffer
--- number are returned with "bufnr" set to zero (Note: some
--- functions accept buffer number zero for the alternate buffer,
--- you may need to explicitly check for zero).
---
--- Useful application: Find pattern matches in multiple files and
--- do something with them: >vim
---   vimgrep /theword/jg *.c
---   for d in getqflist()
---      echo bufname(d.bufnr) ':' d.lnum '=' d.text
---   endfor
--- <
--- If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then
--- returns only the items listed in {what} as a dictionary. The
--- following string items are supported in {what}:
---   changedtick  get the total number of changes made
---       to the list |quickfix-changedtick|
---   context  get the |quickfix-context|
---   efm  errorformat to use when parsing "lines". If
---     not present, then the 'errorformat' option
---     value is used.
---   id  get information for the quickfix list with
---     |quickfix-ID|; zero means the id for the
---     current list or the list specified by "nr"
---   idx  get information for the quickfix entry at this
---     index in the list specified by "id" or "nr".
---     If set to zero, then uses the current entry.
---     See |quickfix-index|
---   items  quickfix list entries
---   lines  parse a list of lines using 'efm' and return
---     the resulting entries.  Only a |List| type is
---     accepted.  The current quickfix list is not
---     modified. See |quickfix-parse|.
---   nr  get information for this quickfix list; zero
---     means the current quickfix list and "$" means
---     the last quickfix list
---   qfbufnr number of the buffer displayed in the quickfix
---     window. Returns 0 if the quickfix buffer is
---     not present. See |quickfix-buffer|.
---   size  number of entries in the quickfix list
---   title  get the list title |quickfix-title|
---   winid  get the quickfix |window-ID|
---   all  all of the above quickfix properties
--- Non-string items in {what} are ignored. To get the value of a
--- particular item, set it to zero.
--- If "nr" is not present then the current quickfix list is used.
--- If both "nr" and a non-zero "id" are specified, then the list
--- specified by "id" is used.
--- To get the number of lists in the quickfix stack, set "nr" to
--- "$" in {what}. The "nr" value in the returned dictionary
--- contains the quickfix stack size.
--- When "lines" is specified, all the other items except "efm"
--- are ignored.  The returned dictionary contains the entry
--- "items" with the list of entries.
---
--- The returned dictionary contains the following entries:
---   changedtick  total number of changes made to the
---       list |quickfix-changedtick|
---   context  quickfix list context. See |quickfix-context|
---     If not present, set to "".
---   id  quickfix list ID |quickfix-ID|. If not
---     present, set to 0.
---   idx  index of the quickfix entry in the list. If not
---     present, set to 0.
---   items  quickfix list entries. If not present, set to
---     an empty list.
---   nr  quickfix list number. If not present, set to 0
---   qfbufnr  number of the buffer displayed in the quickfix
---     window. If not present, set to 0.
---   size  number of entries in the quickfix list. If not
---     present, set to 0.
---   title  quickfix list title text. If not present, set
---     to "".
---   winid  quickfix |window-ID|. If not present, set to 0

--- The result is a String, which is the contents of register
--- {regname}.  Example: >vim
---   let cliptext = getreg('*')
--- <When register {regname} was not set the result is an empty
--- string.
--- The {regname} argument must be a string.
---
--- getreg('=') returns the last evaluated value of the expression

--- argument is ignored, thus you can always give it.
---
--- If {list} is present and |TRUE|, the result type is changed
--- to |List|. Each list item is one text line. Use it if you care
--- about zero bytes possibly present inside register: without
--- third argument both NLs and zero bytes are represented as NLs
--- (see |NL-used-for-Nul|).
--- When the register was not set an empty list is returned.

---   regcontents  List of lines contained in register
---       {regname}, like
---       getreg({regname}, 1, 1).
---   regtype    the type of register {regname}, as in
---       |getregtype()|.
---   isunnamed  Boolean flag, v:true if this register
---       is currently pointed to by the unnamed
---       register.
---   points_to  for the unnamed register, gives the
---       single letter name of the register
---       currently pointed to (see |quotequote|).
---       For example, after deleting a line
---       with `dd`, this field will be "1",
---       which is the register that got the
---       deleted text.
---
--- The {regname} argument is a string.  If {regname} is invalid
--- or not set, an empty Dictionary will be returned.
--- If {regname} is not specified, |v:register| is used.
--- The returned Dictionary can be passed to |setreg()|.
---
--- @param regname? string
--- @return table

--- Returns the list of strings from {pos1} to {pos2} from a
--- buffer.
---
--- {pos1} and {pos2} must both be |List|s with four numbers.
--- See |getpos()| for the format of the list.  It's possible
--- to specify positions from a different buffer, but please
--- note the limitations at |getregion-notes|.
---
--- The optional argument {opts} is a Dict and supports the
--- following items:
---
---   type    Specify the region's selection type.
---       See |getregtype()| for possible values,
---       except that the width can be omitted
---       and an empty string cannot be used.
---       (default: "v")
---
---   exclusive  If |TRUE|, use exclusive selection
---       for the end position.
---       (default: follow 'selection')
---
--- You can get the last selection type by |visualmode()|.
--- If Visual mode is active, use |mode()| to get the Visual mode
--- (e.g., in a |:vmap|).
--- This function is useful to get text starting and ending in
--- different columns, such as a |charwise-visual| selection.
---
---           *getregion-notes*
--- Note that:
--- - Order of {pos1} and {pos2} doesn't matter, it will always
---   return content from the upper left position to the lower
---   right position.
--- - If 'virtualedit' is enabled and the region is past the end
---   of the lines, resulting lines are padded with spaces.
--- - If the region is blockwise and it starts or ends in the
---   middle of a multi-cell character, it is not included but
---   its selected part is substituted with spaces.
--- - If {pos1} and {pos2} are not in the same buffer, an empty
---   list is returned.
--- - {pos1} and {pos2} must belong to a |bufloaded()| buffer.
--- - It is evaluated in current window context, which makes a
---   difference if the buffer is displayed in a window with
---   different 'virtualedit' or 'list' values.

--- Same as |getregion()|, but returns a list of positions
--- describing the buffer text segments bound by {pos1} and
--- {pos2}.
--- The segments are a pair of positions for every line: >
---   [[{start_pos}, {end_pos}], ...]
--- <
--- The position is a |List| with four numbers:
---     [bufnum, lnum, col, off]
--- "bufnum" is the buffer number.
--- "lnum" and "col" are the position in the buffer.  The first
--- column is 1.
--- If the "off" number of a starting position is non-zero, it is
--- the offset in screen columns from the start of the character.
--- E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last character.
--- If the "off" number of an ending position is non-zero, it is
--- the offset of the character's first cell not included in the
--- selection, otherwise all its cells are included.
---
--- Apart from the options supported by |getregion()|, {opts} also
--- supports the following:
---
---   eol    If |TRUE|, indicate positions beyond
---       the end of a line with "col" values
---       one more than the length of the line.
---       If |FALSE|, positions are limited
---       within their lines, and if a line is
---       empty or the selection is entirely
---       beyond the end of a line, a "col"
---       value of 0 is used for both positions.

---     "V"      for |linewise| text
---     "<CTRL-V>{width}"  for |blockwise-visual| text
---     ""      for an empty or unknown register

--- Returns a |List| with information about all the sourced Vim
--- scripts in the order they were sourced, like what
--- `:scriptnames` shows.
---
--- The optional Dict argument {opts} supports the following
--- optional items:
---     name  Script name match pattern. If specified,

---     name  Vim script file name.
---     sid    Script ID |<SID>|.
---     variables   A dictionary with the script-local variables.
---     Present only when a particular script is
---     specified using the "sid" item in {opts}.
---     Note that this is a copy, the value of
---     script-local variables cannot be changed using

--- Get the value of a tab-local variable {varname} in tab page
--- {tabnr}. |t:var|
--- Tabs are numbered starting with one.
--- The {varname} argument is a string.  When {varname} is empty a

--- Get the value of window-local variable {varname} in window
--- {winnr} in tab page {tabnr}.
--- The {varname} argument is a string.  When {varname} is empty a
--- dictionary with all window-local variables is returned.
--- When {varname} is equal to "&" get the values of all
--- window-local options in a |Dictionary|.
--- Otherwise, when {varname} starts with "&" get the value of a

--- Note that {varname} must be the name without "w:".
--- Tabs are numbered starting with one.  For the current tabpage
--- use |getwinvar()|.
--- {winnr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- When {winnr} is zero the current window is used.
--- This also works for a global option, buffer-local option and
--- window-local option, but it doesn't work for a global variable
--- or buffer-local variable.
--- When the tab, window or variable doesn't exist {def} or an
--- empty string is returned, there is no error message.
--- Examples: >vim
---   let list_is_on = gettabwinvar(1, 2, '&list')
---   echo "myvar = " .. gettabwinvar(3, 1, 'myvar')

--- The result is a Dict, which is the tag stack of window {winnr}.
--- {winnr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- When {winnr} is not specified, the current window is used.
--- When window {winnr} doesn't exist, an empty Dict is returned.

---
--- Each item in the stack is a dictionary with the following
--- entries:
---   bufnr    buffer number of the current jump
---   from    cursor position before the tag jump.
---       See |getpos()| for the format of the
---       returned list.
---   matchnr    current matching tag number. Used when

---   tagname    name of the tag
---
--- See |tagstack| for more information about the tag stack.

--- Translate String {text} if possible.
--- This is mainly for use in the distributed Vim scripts.  When
--- generating message translations the {text} is extracted by
--- xgettext, the translator can add the translated message in the
--- .po file and Vim will lookup the translation when gettext() is
--- called.
--- For {text} double quoted strings are preferred, because

--- Returns information about windows as a |List| with Dictionaries.
---
--- If {winid} is given Information about the window with that ID

---   clipboard  |clipboard| provider is available.
---   fname_case  Case in file names matters (for Darwin and MS-Windows
---       this is not present).
---   gui_running  Nvim has a GUI.
---   hurd    GNU/Hurd system.
---   iconv    Can use |iconv()| for conversion.
---   linux    Linux system.
---   mac    MacOS system.
---   nvim    This is Nvim.
---   python3    Legacy Vim |python3| interface. |has-python|
---   pythonx    Legacy Vim |python_x| interface. |has-pythonx|
---   sun    SunOS system.

---   win64    Windows system (64 bit).
---   wsl    WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) system.
---
---           *has-patch*
--- 3.  Vim patch. For example the "patch123" feature means that

---   if v:version > 602 || v:version == 602 && has("patch148")
---     " ...

---             *E5403* *E5404* *E5405* *E5406*
--- Both hl_start_col and hl_end_col + 1 must point to the start

--- Highlight function is called at least once for each new
--- displayed input string, before command-line is redrawn.  It is
--- expected that function is pure for the duration of one input()
--- call, i.e. it produces the same output for the same input, so
--- output may be memoized.  Function is run like under |:silent|
--- modifier. If the function causes any errors, it will be
--- skipped for the duration of the current input() call.
---
--- Highlighting is disabled if command-line contains arabic
--- characters.
---
--- NOTE: This function must not be used in a startup file, for
--- the versions that only run in GUI mode (e.g., the Win32 GUI).
--- Note: When input() is called from within a mapping it will
--- consume remaining characters from that mapping, because a
--- mapping is handled like the characters were typed.
--- Use |inputsave()| before input() and |inputrestore()|
--- after input() to avoid that.  Another solution is to avoid
--- that further characters follow in the mapping, e.g., by using
--- |:execute| or |:normal|.
---
--- Example with a mapping: >vim
---   nmap \x :call GetFoo()<CR>:exe "/" .. Foo<CR>
---   function GetFoo()
---     call inputsave()
---     let g:Foo = input("enter search pattern: ")

--- {textlist} must be a |List| of strings.  This |List| is
--- displayed, one string per line.  The user will be prompted to
--- enter a number, which is returned.
--- The user can also select an item by clicking on it with the
--- mouse, if the mouse is enabled in the command line ('mouse' is
--- "a" or includes "c").  For the first string 0 is returned.
--- When clicking above the first item a negative number is
--- returned.  When clicking on the prompt one more than the
--- length of {textlist} is returned.
--- Make sure {textlist} has less than 'lines' entries, otherwise
--- it won't work.  It's a good idea to put the entry number at
--- the start of the string.  And put a prompt in the first item.
--- Example: >vim
---   let color = inputlist(['Select color:', '1. red',
---     \ '2. green', '3. blue'])
---
--- @param textlist string[]
--- @return any
function vim.fn.inputlist(textlist) end

--- Restore typeahead that was saved with a previous |inputsave()|.
--- Should be called the same number of times inputsave() is
--- called.  Calling it more often is harmless though.
--- Returns TRUE when there is nothing to restore, FALSE otherwise.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.inputrestore() end

--- Preserve typeahead (also from mappings) and clear it, so that
--- a following prompt gets input from the user.  Should be
--- followed by a matching inputrestore() after the prompt.  Can
--- be used several times, in which case there must be just as
--- many inputrestore() calls.
--- Returns TRUE when out of memory, FALSE otherwise.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.inputsave() end

--- This function acts much like the |input()| function with but
--- two exceptions:
--- a) the user's response will be displayed as a sequence of
--- asterisks ("*") thereby keeping the entry secret, and
--- b) the user's response will not be recorded on the input
--- |history| stack.
--- The result is a String, which is whatever the user actually
--- typed on the command-line in response to the issued prompt.

--- When {object} is a |List| or a |Blob| insert {item} at the start
--- of it.
---
--- If {idx} is specified insert {item} before the item with index
--- {idx}.  If {idx} is zero it goes before the first item, just
--- like omitting {idx}.  A negative {idx} is also possible, see
--- |list-index|.  -1 inserts just before the last item.
---
--- Returns the resulting |List| or |Blob|.  Examples: >vim
---   let mylist = insert([2, 3, 5], 1)
---   call insert(mylist, 4, -1)
---   call insert(mylist, 6, len(mylist))
--- <The last example can be done simpler with |add()|.

--- Interrupt script execution.  It works more or less like the
--- user typing CTRL-C, most commands won't execute and control
--- returns to the user.  This is useful to abort execution
--- from lower down, e.g. in an autocommand.  Example: >vim
--- function s:check_typoname(file)

---        echomsg 'Maybe typo'

--- The result is a Number, which is |TRUE| when {path} is an
--- absolute path.
--- On Unix, a path is considered absolute when it starts with '/'.
--- On MS-Windows, it is considered absolute when it starts with an
--- optional drive prefix and is followed by a '\' or '/'. UNC paths
--- are always absolute.
--- Example: >vim
---   echo isabsolutepath('/usr/share/')  " 1
---   echo isabsolutepath('./foobar')    " 0
---   echo isabsolutepath('C:\Windows')  " 1
---   echo isabsolutepath('foobar')    " 0

--- is any expression, which is used as a String.
---
--- @param directory string
--- @return 0|1

--- @param expr number
--- @return 1|0|-1
function vim.fn.isinf(expr) end

--- The result is a Number, which is |TRUE| when {expr} is the
--- name of a locked variable.
--- The string argument {expr} must be the name of a variable,
--- |List| item or |Dictionary| entry, not the variable itself!
--- Example: >vim
---   let alist = [0, ['a', 'b'], 2, 3]
---   lockvar 1 alist
---   echo islocked('alist')    " 1
---   echo islocked('alist[1]')  " 0

--- message.  Use |exists()| to check for existence.
---
--- @param expr any
--- @return 0|1

--- Return |TRUE| if {expr} is a float with value NaN. >vim
---   echo isnan(0.0 / 0.0)
--- <  1
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return 0|1
function vim.fn.isnan(expr) end

--- Return a |List| with all the key-value pairs of {dict}.  Each
--- |List| item is a list with two items: the key of a {dict}
--- entry and the value of this entry.  The |List| is in arbitrary
--- order.  Also see |keys()| and |values()|.
--- Example: >vim
---   for [key, value] in items(mydict)
---      echo key .. ': ' .. value

--- <
--- Example: start a job in a |terminal| connected to the current buffer: >vim
---   call jobstart(['nvim', '-h'], {'term':v:true})
--- <
--- Returns |job-id| on success, 0 on invalid arguments (or job
--- table is full), -1 if {cmd}[0] or 'shell' is not executable.
--- The returned job-id is a valid |channel-id| representing the
--- job's stdio streams. Use |chansend()| (or |rpcnotify()| and
--- |rpcrequest()| if "rpc" was enabled) to send data to stdin and
--- |chanclose()| to close the streams without stopping the job.
---
--- See |job-control| and |RPC|.
---
--- NOTE: on Windows if {cmd} is a List:

--- Call function {funcname} in the run-time library {libname}

--- This is useful to call functions in a library that you

--- The result is the String returned by the function.  If the
--- function returns NULL, this will appear as an empty string ""
--- to Vim.
--- If the function returns a number, use libcallnr()!
--- If {argument} is a number, it is passed to the function as an

---
--- libcall() allows you to write your own 'plug-in' extensions to
--- Vim without having to recompile the program.  It is NOT a
--- means to call system functions!  If you try to do so Vim will
--- very probably crash.
---
--- For Win32, the functions you write must be placed in a DLL
--- and use the normal C calling convention (NOT Pascal which is
--- used in Windows System DLLs).  The function must take exactly
--- one parameter, either a character pointer or a long integer,
--- and must return a character pointer or NULL.  The character
--- pointer returned must point to memory that will remain valid
--- after the function has returned (e.g. in static data in the
--- DLL).  If it points to allocated memory, that memory will
--- leak away.  Using a static buffer in the function should work,
--- it's then freed when the DLL is unloaded.
---
--- WARNING: If the function returns a non-valid pointer, Vim may
--- crash!  This also happens if the function returns a number,
--- because Vim thinks it's a pointer.
--- For Win32 systems, {libname} should be the filename of the DLL
--- without the ".DLL" suffix.  A full path is only required if
--- the DLL is not in the usual places.
--- For Unix: When compiling your own plugins, remember that the
--- object code must be compiled as position-independent ('PIC').

--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo log(10)
--- <  2.302585 >vim
---   echo log(exp(5))
--- <  5.0
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return number
function vim.fn.log(expr) end

--- Return the logarithm of Float {expr} to base 10 as a |Float|.
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo log10(1000)
--- <  3.0 >vim
---   echo log10(0.01)
--- <  -2.0
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return number
function vim.fn.log10(expr) end

--- {expr1} must be a |List|, |String|, |Blob| or |Dictionary|.
--- When {expr1} is a |List| or |Dictionary|, replace each
--- item in {expr1} with the result of evaluating {expr2}.
--- For a |Blob| each byte is replaced.
--- For a |String|, each character, including composing
--- characters, is replaced.
--- If the item type changes you may want to use |mapnew()| to
--- create a new List or Dictionary.
---
--- {expr2} must be a |String| or |Funcref|.
---
--- If {expr2} is a |String|, inside {expr2} |v:val| has the value
--- of the current item.  For a |Dictionary| |v:key| has the key
--- of the current item and for a |List| |v:key| has the index of
--- the current item.  For a |Blob| |v:key| has the index of the
--- current byte. For a |String| |v:key| has the index of the
--- current character.
--- Example: >vim
---   call map(mylist, '"> " .. v:val .. " <"')
--- <This puts "> " before and " <" after each item in "mylist".
---
--- Note that {expr2} is the result of an expression and is then
--- used as an expression again.  Often it is good to use a
--- |literal-string| to avoid having to double backslashes.  You
--- still have to double ' quotes
---
--- If {expr2} is a |Funcref| it is called with two arguments:
---   1. The key or the index of the current item.
---   2. the value of the current item.
--- The function must return the new value of the item. Example
--- that changes each value by "key-value": >vim
---   func KeyValue(key, val)
---     return a:key .. '-' .. a:val
---   endfunc
---   call map(myDict, function('KeyValue'))
--- <It is shorter when using a |lambda|: >vim
---   call map(myDict, {key, val -> key .. '-' .. val})
--- <If you do not use "val" you can leave it out: >vim
---   call map(myDict, {key -> 'item: ' .. key})
--- <If you do not use "key" you can use a short name: >vim
---   call map(myDict, {_, val -> 'item: ' .. val})
--- <
--- The operation is done in-place for a |List| and |Dictionary|.
--- If you want it to remain unmodified make a copy first: >vim
---   let tlist = map(copy(mylist), ' v:val .. "\t"')
---
--- <Returns {expr1}, the |List| or |Dictionary| that was filtered,
--- or a new |Blob| or |String|.
--- When an error is encountered while evaluating {expr2} no
--- further items in {expr1} are processed.
--- When {expr2} is a Funcref errors inside a function are ignored,
--- unless it was defined with the "abort" flag.
---
--- @param expr1 string|table|any[]
--- @param expr2 string|function
--- @return any
function vim.fn.map(expr1, expr2) end

--- When {dict} is omitted or zero: Return the rhs of mapping
--- {name} in mode {mode}.  The returned String has special
--- characters translated like in the output of the ":map" command
--- listing. When {dict} is TRUE a dictionary is returned, see
--- below. To get a list of all mappings see |maplist()|.
---
--- When there is no mapping for {name}, an empty String is
--- returned if {dict} is FALSE, otherwise returns an empty Dict.
--- When the mapping for {name} is empty, then "<Nop>" is
--- returned.
---
--- The {name} can have special key names, like in the ":map"
--- command.
---
--- {mode} can be one of these strings:
---   "n"  Normal
---   "v"  Visual (including Select)
---   "o"  Operator-pending
---   "i"  Insert
---   "c"  Cmd-line
---   "s"  Select
---   "x"  Visual
---   "l"  langmap |language-mapping|
---   "t"  Terminal
---   ""  Normal, Visual and Operator-pending
--- When {mode} is omitted, the modes for "" are used.
---
--- When {abbr} is there and it is |TRUE| use abbreviations
--- instead of mappings.
---
--- When {dict} is |TRUE|, return a dictionary describing the
--- mapping, with these items:    *mapping-dict*
---   "lhs"       The {lhs} of the mapping as it would be typed
---   "lhsraw"   The {lhs} of the mapping as raw bytes
---   "lhsrawalt" The {lhs} of the mapping as raw bytes, alternate
---         form, only present when it differs from "lhsraw"
---   "rhs"       The {rhs} of the mapping as typed.
---   "callback" Lua function, if RHS was defined as such.
---   "silent"   1 for a |:map-silent| mapping, else 0.
---   "noremap"  1 if the {rhs} of the mapping is not remappable.
---   "script"   1 if mapping was defined with <script>.
---   "expr"     1 for an expression mapping (|:map-<expr>|).
---   "buffer"   1 for a buffer local mapping (|:map-local|).
---   "mode"     Modes for which the mapping is defined. In
---        addition to the modes mentioned above, these
---        characters will be used:
---        " "     Normal, Visual and Operator-pending
---        "!"     Insert and Commandline mode
---          (|mapmode-ic|)
---   "sid"       The script local ID, used for <sid> mappings
---        (|<SID>|).  Negative for special contexts.
---   "scriptversion"  The version of the script, always 1.
---   "lnum"     The line number in "sid", zero if unknown.
---   "nowait"   Do not wait for other, longer mappings.
---        (|:map-<nowait>|).
---   "abbr"     True if this is an |abbreviation|.
---   "mode_bits" Nvim's internal binary representation of "mode".
---        |mapset()| ignores this; only "mode" is used.
---        See |maplist()| for usage examples. The values
---        are from src/nvim/state_defs.h and may change in
---        the future.
---
--- The dictionary can be used to restore a mapping with
--- |mapset()|.
---
--- The mappings local to the current buffer are checked first,
--- then the global mappings.
--- This function can be used to map a key even when it's already
--- mapped, and have it do the original mapping too.  Sketch: >vim
---   exe 'nnoremap <Tab> ==' .. maparg('<Tab>', 'n')
--- <
---
--- @param name string
--- @param mode? string
--- @param abbr? boolean
--- @param dict? false
--- @return string
function vim.fn.maparg(name, mode, abbr, dict) end

--- @param name string
--- @param mode string
--- @param abbr boolean
--- @param dict true
--- @return table<string,any>
function vim.fn.maparg(name, mode, abbr, dict) end

--- Check if there is a mapping that matches with {name} in mode
--- {mode}.  See |maparg()| for {mode} and special names in
--- {name}.
--- When {abbr} is there and it is non-zero use abbreviations
--- instead of mappings.
--- A match happens with a mapping that starts with {name} and
--- with a mapping which is equal to the start of {name}.
---
---   matches mapping "a"  "ab"  "abc" ~
---    mapcheck("a")  yes  yes   yes
---    mapcheck("abc")  yes  yes   yes
---    mapcheck("ax")  yes  no   no
---    mapcheck("b")  no  no   no
---
--- The difference with maparg() is that mapcheck() finds a
--- mapping that matches with {name}, while maparg() only finds a
--- mapping for {name} exactly.
--- When there is no mapping that starts with {name}, an empty
--- String is returned.  If there is one, the RHS of that mapping
--- is returned.  If there are several mappings that start with
--- {name}, the RHS of one of them is returned.  This will be
--- "<Nop>" if the RHS is empty.
--- The mappings local to the current buffer are checked first,
--- then the global mappings.
--- This function can be used to check if a mapping can be added
--- without being ambiguous.  Example: >vim
---   if mapcheck("_vv") == ""
---      map _vv :set guifont=7x13<CR>
---   endif
--- <This avoids adding the "_vv" mapping when there already is a
--- mapping for "_v" or for "_vvv".
---
--- @param name string
--- @param mode? string
--- @param abbr? boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.mapcheck(name, mode, abbr) end

--- Returns a |List| of all mappings.  Each List item is a |Dict|,
--- the same as what is returned by |maparg()|, see
--- |mapping-dict|.  When {abbr} is there and it is |TRUE| use
--- abbreviations instead of mappings.
---
--- Example to show all mappings with "MultiMatch" in rhs: >vim
---   echo maplist()->filter({_, m ->
---     \ match(get(m, 'rhs', ''), 'MultiMatch') >= 0
---     \ })
--- <It can be tricky to find mappings for particular |:map-modes|.
--- |mapping-dict|'s "mode_bits" can simplify this. For example,
--- the mode_bits for Normal, Insert or Command-line modes are
--- 0x19. To find all the mappings available in those modes you
--- can do: >vim
---   let saved_maps = []
---   for m in maplist()
---       if and(m.mode_bits, 0x19) != 0
---     eval saved_maps->add(m)
---       endif
---   endfor
---   echo saved_maps->mapnew({_, m -> m.lhs})
--- <The values of the mode_bits are defined in Nvim's
--- src/nvim/state_defs.h file and they can be discovered at
--- runtime using |:map-commands| and "maplist()". Example: >vim
---   omap xyzzy <Nop>
---   let op_bit = maplist()->filter(
---       \ {_, m -> m.lhs == 'xyzzy'})[0].mode_bits
---   ounmap xyzzy
---   echo printf("Operator-pending mode bit: 0x%x", op_bit)
--- <
---
--- @param abbr? 0|1
--- @return table[]
function vim.fn.maplist(abbr) end

--- Like |map()| but instead of replacing items in {expr1} a new
--- List or Dictionary is created and returned.  {expr1} remains
--- unchanged.  Items can still be changed by {expr2}, if you
--- don't want that use |deepcopy()| first.
---
--- @param expr1 any
--- @param expr2 any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.mapnew(expr1, expr2) end

--- @param mode string
--- @param abbr? boolean
--- @param dict? table<string,any>
--- @return any
function vim.fn.mapset(mode, abbr, dict) end

--- Restore a mapping from a dictionary, possibly returned by
--- |maparg()| or |maplist()|.  A buffer mapping, when dict.buffer
--- is true, is set on the current buffer; it is up to the caller
--- to ensure that the intended buffer is the current buffer. This
--- feature allows copying mappings from one buffer to another.
--- The dict.mode value may restore a single mapping that covers
--- more than one mode, like with mode values of '!', ' ', "nox",
--- or 'v'. *E1276*
---
--- In the first form, {mode} and {abbr} should be the same as
--- for the call to |maparg()|. *E460*
--- {mode} is used to define the mode in which the mapping is set,
--- not the "mode" entry in {dict}.
--- Example for saving and restoring a mapping: >vim
---   let save_map = maparg('K', 'n', 0, 1)
---   nnoremap K somethingelse
---   " ...
---   call mapset('n', 0, save_map)
--- <Note that if you are going to replace a map in several modes,
--- e.g. with `:map!`, you need to save/restore the mapping for
--- all of them, when they might differ.
---
--- In the second form, with {dict} as the only argument, mode
--- and abbr are taken from the dict.
--- Example: >vim
---   let save_maps = maplist()->filter(
---         \ {_, m -> m.lhs == 'K'})
---   nnoremap K somethingelse
---   cnoremap K somethingelse2
---   " ...
---   unmap K
---   for d in save_maps
---       call mapset(d)
---   endfor
--- <
---
--- @param dict table<string,any>
--- @return any
function vim.fn.mapset(dict) end

--- When {expr} is a |List| then this returns the index of the
--- first item where {pat} matches.  Each item is used as a
--- String, |Lists| and |Dictionaries| are used as echoed.
---
--- Otherwise, {expr} is used as a String.  The result is a
--- Number, which gives the index (byte offset) in {expr} where
--- {pat} matches.
---
--- A match at the first character or |List| item returns zero.
--- If there is no match -1 is returned.
---
--- For getting submatches see |matchlist()|.
--- Example: >vim
---   echo match("testing", "ing")  " results in 4
---   echo match([1, 'x'], '\a')  " results in 1
--- <See |string-match| for how {pat} is used.
---             *strpbrk()*
--- Vim doesn't have a strpbrk() function.  But you can do: >vim
---   let sepidx = match(line, '[.,;: \t]')
--- <            *strcasestr()*
--- Vim doesn't have a strcasestr() function.  But you can add
--- "\c" to the pattern to ignore case: >vim
---   let idx = match(haystack, '\cneedle')
--- <
--- If {start} is given, the search starts from byte index
--- {start} in a String or item {start} in a |List|.
--- The result, however, is still the index counted from the
--- first character/item.  Example: >vim
---   echo match("testing", "ing", 2)
--- <result is again "4". >vim
---   echo match("testing", "ing", 4)
--- <result is again "4". >vim
---   echo match("testing", "t", 2)
--- <result is "3".
--- For a String, if {start} > 0 then it is like the string starts
--- {start} bytes later, thus "^" will match at {start}.  Except
--- when {count} is given, then it's like matches before the
--- {start} byte are ignored (this is a bit complicated to keep it
--- backwards compatible).
--- For a String, if {start} < 0, it will be set to 0.  For a list
--- the index is counted from the end.
--- If {start} is out of range ({start} > strlen({expr}) for a
--- String or {start} > len({expr}) for a |List|) -1 is returned.
---
--- When {count} is given use the {count}th match.  When a match
--- is found in a String the search for the next one starts one
--- character further.  Thus this example results in 1: >vim
---   echo match("testing", "..", 0, 2)
--- <In a |List| the search continues in the next item.
--- Note that when {count} is added the way {start} works changes,
--- see above.
---
---         *match-pattern*
--- See |pattern| for the patterns that are accepted.
--- The 'ignorecase' option is used to set the ignore-caseness of
--- the pattern.  'smartcase' is NOT used.  The matching is always
--- done like 'magic' is set and 'cpoptions' is empty.
--- Note that a match at the start is preferred, thus when the
--- pattern is using "*" (any number of matches) it tends to find
--- zero matches at the start instead of a number of matches
--- further down in the text.

function vim.fn.match(expr, pat, start, count) end

--- Defines a pattern to be highlighted in the current window (a
--- "match").  It will be highlighted with {group}.  Returns an
--- identification number (ID), which can be used to delete the
--- match using |matchdelete()|.  The ID is bound to the window.
--- Matching is case sensitive and magic, unless case sensitivity
--- or magicness are explicitly overridden in {pattern}.  The
--- 'magic', 'smartcase' and 'ignorecase' options are not used.
--- The "Conceal" value is special, it causes the match to be
--- concealed.
---
--- The optional {priority} argument assigns a priority to the
--- match.  A match with a high priority will have its
--- highlighting overrule that of a match with a lower priority.
--- A priority is specified as an integer (negative numbers are no
--- exception).  If the {priority} argument is not specified, the
--- default priority is 10.  The priority of 'hlsearch' is zero,
--- hence all matches with a priority greater than zero will
--- overrule it.  Syntax highlighting (see 'syntax') is a separate
--- mechanism, and regardless of the chosen priority a match will
--- always overrule syntax highlighting.
---
--- The optional {id} argument allows the request for a specific
--- match ID.  If a specified ID is already taken, an error
--- message will appear and the match will not be added.  An ID
--- is specified as a positive integer (zero excluded).  IDs 1, 2
--- and 3 are reserved for |:match|, |:2match| and |:3match|,
--- respectively.  3 is reserved for use by the |matchparen|
--- plugin.
--- If the {id} argument is not specified or -1, |matchadd()|
--- automatically chooses a free ID, which is at least 1000.
---
--- The optional {dict} argument allows for further custom
--- values. Currently this is used to specify a match specific
--- conceal character that will be shown for |hl-Conceal|
--- highlighted matches. The dict can have the following members:
---
---   conceal      Special character to show instead of the
---         match (only for |hl-Conceal| highlighted
---         matches, see |:syn-cchar|)
---   window      Instead of the current window use the
---         window with this number or window ID.
---
--- The number of matches is not limited, as it is the case with
--- the |:match| commands.
---
--- Returns -1 on error.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   highlight MyGroup ctermbg=green guibg=green
---   let m = matchadd("MyGroup", "TODO")
--- <Deletion of the pattern: >vim
---   call matchdelete(m)
---
--- <A list of matches defined by |matchadd()| and |:match| are
--- available from |getmatches()|.  All matches can be deleted in
--- one operation by |clearmatches()|.

--- @param dict? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.matchadd(group, pattern, priority, id, dict) end

--- Same as |matchadd()|, but requires a list of positions {pos}
--- instead of a pattern. This command is faster than |matchadd()|
--- because it does not handle regular expressions and it sets
--- buffer line boundaries to redraw screen. It is supposed to be
--- used when fast match additions and deletions are required, for
--- example to highlight matching parentheses.
---           *E5030* *E5031*
--- {pos} is a list of positions.  Each position can be one of
--- these:
--- - A number.  This whole line will be highlighted.  The first
---   line has number 1.
--- - A list with one number, e.g., [23]. The whole line with this
---   number will be highlighted.
--- - A list with two numbers, e.g., [23, 11]. The first number is
---   the line number, the second one is the column number (first
---   column is 1, the value must correspond to the byte index as
---   |col()| would return).  The character at this position will
---   be highlighted.
--- - A list with three numbers, e.g., [23, 11, 3]. As above, but
---   the third number gives the length of the highlight in bytes.
---
--- Entries with zero and negative line numbers are silently
--- ignored, as well as entries with negative column numbers and
--- lengths.
---
--- Returns -1 on error.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   highlight MyGroup ctermbg=green guibg=green
---   let m = matchaddpos("MyGroup", [[23, 24], 34])
--- <Deletion of the pattern: >vim
---   call matchdelete(m)

--- Selects the {nr} match item, as set with a |:match|,
--- |:2match| or |:3match| command.
--- Return a |List| with two elements:
---   The name of the highlight group used
---   The pattern used.
--- When {nr} is not 1, 2 or 3 returns an empty |List|.
--- When there is no match item set returns ['', ''].
--- This is useful to save and restore a |:match|.
--- Highlighting matches using the |:match| commands are limited
--- to three matches. |matchadd()| does not have this limitation.
---
--- @param nr integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.matcharg(nr) end

--- Returns the |List| of matches in lines from {lnum} to {end} in
--- buffer {buf} where {pat} matches.
---
--- {lnum} and {end} can either be a line number or the string "$"
--- to refer to the last line in {buf}.
---
--- The {dict} argument supports following items:
---     submatches  include submatch information (|/\(|)
---
--- For each match, a |Dict| with the following items is returned:
---     byteidx  starting byte index of the match
---     lnum  line number where there is a match
---     text  matched string
--- Note that there can be multiple matches in a single line.
---
--- This function works only for loaded buffers. First call
--- |bufload()| if needed.
---
--- See |match-pattern| for information about the effect of some
--- option settings on the pattern.
---
--- When {buf} is not a valid buffer, the buffer is not loaded or
--- {lnum} or {end} is not valid then an error is given and an
--- empty |List| is returned.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---     " Assuming line 3 in buffer 5 contains "a"
---     echo matchbufline(5, '\<\k\+\>', 3, 3)
--- <    `[{'lnum': 3, 'byteidx': 0, 'text': 'a'}]` >vim
---     " Assuming line 4 in buffer 10 contains "tik tok"
---     echo matchbufline(10, '\<\k\+\>', 1, 4)
--- <    `[{'lnum': 4, 'byteidx': 0, 'text': 'tik'}, {'lnum': 4, 'byteidx': 4, 'text': 'tok'}]`
---
--- If {submatch} is present and is v:true, then submatches like
--- "\1", "\2", etc. are also returned.  Example: >vim
---     " Assuming line 2 in buffer 2 contains "acd"
---     echo matchbufline(2, '\(a\)\?\(b\)\?\(c\)\?\(.*\)', 2, 2
---         \ {'submatches': v:true})
--- <    `[{'lnum': 2, 'byteidx': 0, 'text': 'acd', 'submatches': ['a', '', 'c', 'd', '', '', '', '', '']}]`
--- The "submatches" List always contains 9 items.  If a submatch
--- is not found, then an empty string is returned for that
--- submatch.

--- @param dict? table
--- @return any
function vim.fn.matchbufline(buf, pat, lnum, end_, dict) end

--- Deletes a match with ID {id} previously defined by |matchadd()|
--- or one of the |:match| commands.  Returns 0 if successful,
--- otherwise -1.  See example for |matchadd()|.  All matches can
--- be deleted in one operation by |clearmatches()|.
--- If {win} is specified, use the window with this number or
--- window ID instead of the current window.
---
--- @param id integer
--- @param win? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.matchdelete(id, win) end

--- Same as |match()|, but return the index of first character
--- after the match.  Example: >vim
---   echo matchend("testing", "ing")
--- <results in "7".
---           *strspn()* *strcspn()*
--- Vim doesn't have a strspn() or strcspn() function, but you can

---   let span = matchend(line, '[a-zA-Z]')
---   let span = matchend(line, '[^a-zA-Z]')
--- <Except that -1 is returned when there are no matches.
---
--- The {start}, if given, has the same meaning as for |match()|. >vim
---   echo matchend("testing", "ing", 2)
--- <results in "7". >vim
---   echo matchend("testing", "ing", 5)
--- <result is "-1".

--- If {list} is a list of strings, then returns a |List| with all
--- the strings in {list} that fuzzy match {str}. The strings in
--- the returned list are sorted based on the matching score.
---
--- The optional {dict} argument always supports the following
--- items:
---     matchseq  When this item is present return only matches
---     that contain the characters in {str} in the
---     given sequence.
---     limit  Maximum number of matches in {list} to be
---     returned.  Zero means no limit.
---     camelcase  Use enhanced camel case scoring making results
---     better suited for completion related to
---     programming languages.  Defaults to v:true.
---
--- If {list} is a list of dictionaries, then the optional {dict}
--- argument supports the following additional items:
---     key    Key of the item which is fuzzy matched against
---     {str}. The value of this item should be a
---     string.
---     text_cb  |Funcref| that will be called for every item
---     in {list} to get the text for fuzzy matching.
---     This should accept a dictionary item as the
---     argument and return the text for that item to
---     use for fuzzy matching.
---
--- {str} is treated as a literal string and regular expression
--- matching is NOT supported.  The maximum supported {str} length
--- is 256.
---
--- When {str} has multiple words each separated by white space,
--- then the list of strings that have all the words is returned.
---
--- If there are no matching strings or there is an error, then an
--- empty list is returned. If length of {str} is greater than
--- 256, then returns an empty list.
---
--- When {limit} is given, matchfuzzy() will find up to this
--- number of matches in {list} and return them in sorted order.
---
--- Refer to |fuzzy-matching| for more information about fuzzy
--- matching strings.
---
--- Example: >vim
---    echo matchfuzzy(["clay", "crow"], "cay")
--- <results in ["clay"]. >vim
---    echo getbufinfo()->map({_, v -> v.name})->matchfuzzy("ndl")
--- <results in a list of buffer names fuzzy matching "ndl". >vim
---    echo getbufinfo()->matchfuzzy("ndl", {'key' : 'name'})
--- <results in a list of buffer information dicts with buffer
--- names fuzzy matching "ndl". >vim
---    echo getbufinfo()->matchfuzzy("spl",
---         \ {'text_cb' : {v -> v.name}})
--- <results in a list of buffer information dicts with buffer
--- names fuzzy matching "spl". >vim
---    echo v:oldfiles->matchfuzzy("test")
--- <results in a list of file names fuzzy matching "test". >vim
---    let l = readfile("buffer.c")->matchfuzzy("str")
--- <results in a list of lines in "buffer.c" fuzzy matching "str". >vim
---    echo ['one two', 'two one']->matchfuzzy('two one')
--- <results in `['two one', 'one two']` . >vim
---    echo ['one two', 'two one']->matchfuzzy('two one',

---
--- If {str} matches multiple times in a string, then only the

---
--- Limitations:

---           *msgpack-special-dict*
--- Some messagepack strings may be parsed to special
--- dictionaries. Special dictionaries are dictionaries which
---
--- 1. Contain exactly two keys: `_TYPE` and `_VAL`.
--- 2. `_TYPE` key is one of the types found in |v:msgpack_types|
---    variable.
--- 3. Value for `_VAL` has the following format (Key column
---    contains name of the key from |v:msgpack_types|):
---
--- Key  Value ~
--- nil  Zero, ignored when dumping.  Not returned by
---   |msgpackparse()| since |v:null| was introduced.
--- boolean  One or zero.  When dumping it is only checked that
---   value is a |Number|.  Not returned by |msgpackparse()|
---   since |v:true| and |v:false| were introduced.
--- integer  |List| with four numbers: sign (-1 or 1), highest two
---   bits, number with bits from 62nd to 31st, lowest 31
---   bits. I.e. to get actual number one will need to use
---   code like >
---     _VAL[0] * ((_VAL[1] << 62)
---                & (_VAL[2] << 31)
---                & _VAL[3])
--- <  Special dictionary with this type will appear in

---   circumstances:
---   1. |Number| is 32-bit and value is either above
---      INT32_MAX or below INT32_MIN.
---   2. |Number| is 64-bit and value is above INT64_MAX. It
---      cannot possibly be below INT64_MIN because msgpack
---      C parser does not support such values.
--- float  |Float|. This value cannot possibly appear in
---   |msgpackparse()| output.
--- string  |String|, or |Blob| if binary string contains zero
---   byte. This value cannot appear in |msgpackparse()|
---   output since blobs were introduced.
--- array  |List|. This value cannot appear in |msgpackparse()|
---   output.
---           *msgpack-special-map*
--- map  |List| of |List|s with two items (key and value) each.
---   This value will appear in |msgpackparse()| output if

---   echo nr2char(300)    " returns I with bow character
--- <
--- UTF-8 encoding is always used, {utf8} option has no effect,

--- Note that a NUL character in the file is specified with

--- non-string keys result in error.
---
--- Note: If you want an array or hash, {expr} must return a
--- reference to it.
--- Example: >vim
---   echo perleval('[1 .. 4]')
--- <  [1, 2, 3, 4]
---
--- @param expr any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.perleval(expr) end

--- Return the power of {x} to the exponent {y} as a |Float|.
--- {x} and {y} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {x} or {y} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo pow(3, 3)
--- <  27.0 >vim
---   echo pow(2, 16)
--- <  65536.0 >vim
---   echo pow(32, 0.20)
--- <  2.0
---
--- @param x number
--- @param y number
--- @return number
function vim.fn.pow(x, y) end

--- Return the line number of the first line at or above {lnum}
--- that is not blank.  Example: >vim
---   let ind = indent(prevnonblank(v:lnum - 1))
--- <When {lnum} is invalid or there is no non-blank line at or
--- above it, zero is returned.
--- {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.
--- Also see |nextnonblank()|.
---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.prevnonblank(lnum) end

--- Return a String with {fmt}, where "%" items are replaced by
--- the formatted form of their respective arguments.  Example: >vim
---   echo printf("%4d: E%d %.30s", lnum, errno, msg)
--- <May result in:
---   "  99: E42 asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfas" ~
---
--- When used as a |method| the base is passed as the second
--- argument: >vim
---   Compute()->printf("result: %d")
--- <
--- You can use `call()` to pass the items as a list.
---
--- Often used items are:
---   %s  string
---   %6S  string right-aligned in 6 display cells
---   %6s  string right-aligned in 6 bytes
---   %.9s  string truncated to 9 bytes
---   %c  single byte
---   %d  decimal number
---   %5d  decimal number padded with spaces to 5 characters
---   %b  binary number
---   %08b  binary number padded with zeros to at least 8 characters
---   %B  binary number using upper case letters
---   %x  hex number
---   %04x  hex number padded with zeros to at least 4 characters
---   %X  hex number using upper case letters
---   %o  octal number
---   %f  floating point number as 12.23, inf, -inf or nan
---   %F  floating point number as 12.23, INF, -INF or NAN
---   %e  floating point number as 1.23e3, inf, -inf or nan
---   %E  floating point number as 1.23E3, INF, -INF or NAN
---   %g  floating point number, as %f or %e depending on value
---   %G  floating point number, as %F or %E depending on value
---   %%  the % character itself
---   %p  representation of the pointer to the container
---
--- Conversion specifications start with '%' and end with the
--- conversion type.  All other characters are copied unchanged to
--- the result.
---
--- The "%" starts a conversion specification.  The following
--- arguments appear in sequence:
---
---   % [pos-argument] [flags] [field-width] [.precision] type
---
--- pos-argument
---   At most one positional argument specifier. These
---   take the form {n$}, where n is >= 1.
---
--- flags
---   Zero or more of the following flags:
---
---     #        The value should be converted to an "alternate
---         form".  For c, d, and s conversions, this option
---         has no effect.  For o conversions, the precision
---         of the number is increased to force the first
---         character of the output string to a zero (except
---         if a zero value is printed with an explicit
---         precision of zero).
---         For x and X conversions, a non-zero result has
---         the string "0x" (or "0X" for X conversions)
---         prepended to it.
---
---     0 (zero)  Zero padding.  For all conversions the converted
---         value is padded on the left with zeros rather
---         than blanks.  If a precision is given with a
---         numeric conversion (d, o, x, and X), the 0 flag
---         is ignored.
---
---     -        A negative field width flag; the converted value
---         is to be left adjusted on the field boundary.
---         The converted value is padded on the right with
---         blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or
---         zeros.  A - overrides a 0 if both are given.
---
---     ' ' (space)  A blank should be left before a positive
---         number produced by a signed conversion (d).
---
---     +        A sign must always be placed before a number
---         produced by a signed conversion.  A + overrides
---         a space if both are used.
---
--- field-width
---   An optional decimal digit string specifying a minimum
---   field width.  If the converted value has fewer bytes
---   than the field width, it will be padded with spaces on
---   the left (or right, if the left-adjustment flag has
---   been given) to fill out the field width.  For the S
---   conversion the count is in cells.
---
--- .precision
---   An optional precision, in the form of a period '.'
---   followed by an optional digit string.  If the digit
---   string is omitted, the precision is taken as zero.
---   This gives the minimum number of digits to appear for
---   d, o, x, and X conversions, the maximum number of
---   bytes to be printed from a string for s conversions,
---   or the maximum number of cells to be printed from a
---   string for S conversions.
---   For floating point it is the number of digits after
---   the decimal point.
---
--- type
---   A character that specifies the type of conversion to
---   be applied, see below.
---
--- A field width or precision, or both, may be indicated by an
--- asterisk "*" instead of a digit string.  In this case, a
--- Number argument supplies the field width or precision.  A
--- negative field width is treated as a left adjustment flag
--- followed by a positive field width; a negative precision is
--- treated as though it were missing.  Example: >vim
---   echo printf("%d: %.*s", nr, width, line)
--- <This limits the length of the text used from "line" to
--- "width" bytes.
---
--- If the argument to be formatted is specified using a
--- positional argument specifier, and a '*' is used to indicate
--- that a number argument is to be used to specify the width or
--- precision, the argument(s) to be used must also be specified
--- using a {n$} positional argument specifier. See |printf-$|.
---
--- The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:
---
---     *printf-d* *printf-b* *printf-B* *printf-o* *printf-x* *printf-X*
--- dbBoxX  The Number argument is converted to signed decimal (d),
---   unsigned binary (b and B), unsigned octal (o), or
---   unsigned hexadecimal (x and X) notation.  The letters
---   "abcdef" are used for x conversions; the letters
---   "ABCDEF" are used for X conversions.  The precision, if
---   any, gives the minimum number of digits that must
---   appear; if the converted value requires fewer digits, it
---   is padded on the left with zeros.  In no case does a
---   non-existent or small field width cause truncation of a
---   numeric field; if the result of a conversion is wider
---   than the field width, the field is expanded to contain
---   the conversion result.
---   The 'h' modifier indicates the argument is 16 bits.
---   The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is a long
---   integer.  The size will be 32 bits or 64 bits
---   depending on your platform.
---   The "ll" modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits.
---   The b and B conversion specifiers never take a width
---   modifier and always assume their argument is a 64 bit
---   integer.
---   Generally, these modifiers are not useful. They are
---   ignored when type is known from the argument.
---
--- i  alias for d
--- D  alias for ld
--- U  alias for lu
--- O  alias for lo
---
---           *printf-c*
--- c  The Number argument is converted to a byte, and the
---   resulting character is written.
---
---           *printf-s*
--- s  The text of the String argument is used.  If a
---   precision is specified, no more bytes than the number
---   specified are used.
---   If the argument is not a String type, it is
---   automatically converted to text with the same format
---   as ":echo".
---           *printf-S*
--- S  The text of the String argument is used.  If a
---   precision is specified, no more display cells than the
---   number specified are used.
---
---           *printf-f* *E807*
--- f F  The Float argument is converted into a string of the
---   form 123.456.  The precision specifies the number of
---   digits after the decimal point.  When the precision is
---   zero the decimal point is omitted.  When the precision
---   is not specified 6 is used.  A really big number
---   (out of range or dividing by zero) results in "inf"
---    or "-inf" with %f (INF or -INF with %F).
---    "0.0 / 0.0" results in "nan" with %f (NAN with %F).
---   Example: >vim
---     echo printf("%.2f", 12.115)
--- <    12.12
---   Note that roundoff depends on the system libraries.
---   Use |round()| when in doubt.
---
---           *printf-e* *printf-E*
--- e E  The Float argument is converted into a string of the
---   form 1.234e+03 or 1.234E+03 when using 'E'.  The
---   precision specifies the number of digits after the
---   decimal point, like with 'f'.
---
---           *printf-g* *printf-G*
--- g G  The Float argument is converted like with 'f' if the
---   value is between 0.001 (inclusive) and 10000000.0
---   (exclusive).  Otherwise 'e' is used for 'g' and 'E'
---   for 'G'.  When no precision is specified superfluous
---   zeroes and '+' signs are removed, except for the zero
---   immediately after the decimal point.  Thus 10000000.0
---   results in 1.0e7.
---
---           *printf-%*
--- %  A '%' is written.  No argument is converted.  The
---   complete conversion specification is "%%".
---
--- When a Number argument is expected a String argument is also
--- accepted and automatically converted.
--- When a Float or String argument is expected a Number argument
--- is also accepted and automatically converted.
--- Any other argument type results in an error message.
---
---           *E766* *E767*
--- The number of {exprN} arguments must exactly match the number
--- of "%" items.  If there are not sufficient or too many
--- arguments an error is given.  Up to 18 arguments can be used.
---
---           *printf-$*
--- In certain languages, error and informative messages are
--- more readable when the order of words is different from the
--- corresponding message in English. To accommodate translations
--- having a different word order, positional arguments may be
--- used to indicate this. For instance: >vim
---
---     #, c-format
---     msgid "%s returning %s"
---     msgstr "waarde %2$s komt terug van %1$s"
--- <
--- In this example, the sentence has its 2 string arguments
--- reversed in the output. >vim
---
---     echo printf(
---   "In The Netherlands, vim's creator's name is: %1$s %2$s",
---   "Bram", "Moolenaar")
--- <    In The Netherlands, vim's creator's name is: Bram Moolenaar >vim
---
---     echo printf(
---   "In Belgium, vim's creator's name is: %2$s %1$s",
---   "Bram", "Moolenaar")
--- <    In Belgium, vim's creator's name is: Moolenaar Bram
---
--- Width (and precision) can be specified using the '*' specifier.
--- In this case, you must specify the field width position in the
--- argument list. >vim
---
---     echo printf("%1$*2$.*3$d", 1, 2, 3)
--- <    001 >vim
---     echo printf("%2$*3$.*1$d", 1, 2, 3)
--- <      2 >vim
---     echo printf("%3$*1$.*2$d", 1, 2, 3)
--- <    03 >vim
---     echo printf("%1$*2$.*3$g", 1.4142, 2, 3)
--- <    1.414
---
--- You can mix specifying the width and/or precision directly
--- and via positional arguments: >vim
---
---     echo printf("%1$4.*2$f", 1.4142135, 6)
--- <    1.414214 >vim
---     echo printf("%1$*2$.4f", 1.4142135, 6)
--- <    1.4142 >vim
---     echo printf("%1$*2$.*3$f", 1.4142135, 6, 2)
--- <      1.41
---
--- You will get an overflow error |E1510|, when the field-width
--- or precision will result in a string longer than 1 MB
--- (1024*1024 = 1048576) chars.
---
---           *E1500*
--- You cannot mix positional and non-positional arguments: >vim
---     echo printf("%s%1$s", "One", "Two")
--- <    E1500: Cannot mix positional and non-positional arguments:
---     %s%1$s
---
---           *E1501*
--- You cannot skip a positional argument in a format string: >vim
---     echo printf("%3$s%1$s", "One", "Two", "Three")
--- <    E1501: format argument 2 unused in $-style format:
---     %3$s%1$s
---
---           *E1502*
--- You can re-use a [field-width] (or [precision]) argument: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$d at width %2$d is: %01$*2$d", 1, 2)
--- <    1 at width 2 is: 01
---
--- However, you can't use it as a different type: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$d at width %2$ld is: %01$*2$d", 1, 2)
--- <    E1502: Positional argument 2 used as field width reused as
---     different type: long int/int
---
---           *E1503*
--- When a positional argument is used, but not the correct number
--- or arguments is given, an error is raised: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$d at width %2$d is: %01$*2$.*3$d", 1, 2)
--- <    E1503: Positional argument 3 out of bounds: %1$d at width
---     %2$d is: %01$*2$.*3$d
---
--- Only the first error is reported: >vim
---     echo printf("%01$*2$.*3$d %4$d", 1, 2)
--- <    E1503: Positional argument 3 out of bounds: %01$*2$.*3$d
---     %4$d
---
---           *E1504*
--- A positional argument can be used more than once: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$s %2$s %1$s", "One", "Two")
--- <    One Two One
---
--- However, you can't use a different type the second time: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$s %2$s %1$d", "One", "Two")
--- <    E1504: Positional argument 1 type used inconsistently:
---     int/string
---
---           *E1505*
--- Various other errors that lead to a format string being
--- wrongly formatted lead to: >vim
---     echo printf("%1$d at width %2$d is: %01$*2$.3$d", 1, 2)
--- <    E1505: Invalid format specifier: %1$d at width %2$d is:
---     %01$*2$.3$d
---
---           *E1507*
--- This internal error indicates that the logic to parse a
--- positional format argument ran into a problem that couldn't be
--- otherwise reported.  Please file a bug against Vim if you run
--- into this, copying the exact format string and parameters that
--- were used.

--- Set prompt callback for buffer {buf} to {expr}.  When {expr}
--- is an empty string the callback is removed.  This has only
--- effect if {buf} has 'buftype' set to "prompt".
---
--- The callback is invoked when pressing Enter.  The current
--- buffer will always be the prompt buffer.  A new line for a
--- prompt is added before invoking the callback, thus the prompt
--- for which the callback was invoked will be in the last but one
--- line.
--- If the callback wants to add text to the buffer, it must
--- insert it above the last line, since that is where the current
--- prompt is.  This can also be done asynchronously.
--- The callback is invoked with one argument, which is the text
--- that was entered at the prompt.  This can be an empty string
--- if the user only typed Enter.
--- Example: >vim

--- - Whether the last line ends in a NL or not does not matter.
--- - Any UTF-8 byte order mark is removed from the text.
--- When {max} is given this specifies the maximum number of lines

--- @param row integer
--- @param col integer
--- @return integer[]

--- This function is mainly used for testing.
---
--- Note: Always returns the current screen column, thus if used
--- in a command (e.g. ":echo screencol()") it will return the
--- column inside the command line, which is 1 when the command is
--- executed. To get the cursor position in the file use one of
--- the following mappings: >vim
---   nnoremap <expr> GG ":echom " .. screencol() .. "\n"
---   nnoremap <silent> GG :echom screencol()<CR>
---   noremap GG <Cmd>echom screencol()<CR>
--- <
---

--- The result is a Dict with the screen position of the text
--- character in window {winid} at buffer line {lnum} and column
--- {col}.  {col} is a one-based byte index.
--- The Dict has these members:
---   row  screen row
---   col  first screen column
---   endcol  last screen column
---   curscol  cursor screen column
--- If the specified position is not visible, all values are zero.
--- The "endcol" value differs from "col" when the character
--- occupies more than one screen cell.  E.g. for a Tab "col" can
--- be 1 and "endcol" can be 8.
--- The "curscol" value is where the cursor would be placed.  For
--- a Tab it would be the same as "endcol", while for a double
--- width character it would be the same as "col".
--- The |conceal| feature is ignored here, the column numbers are
--- as if 'conceallevel' is zero.  You can set the cursor to the
--- right position and use |screencol()| to get the value with
--- |conceal| taken into account.
--- If the position is in a closed fold the screen position of the
--- first character is returned, {col} is not used.
--- Returns an empty Dict if {winid} is invalid.
---
--- @param winid integer
--- @param lnum integer
--- @param col integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.screenpos(winid, lnum, col) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the current screen row of the

--- Alternatively you can use |winline()|.
---
--- Note: Same restrictions as with |screencol()|.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.screenrow() end

--- The result is a String that contains the base character and
--- any composing characters at position [row, col] on the screen.
--- This is like |screenchars()| but returning a String with the

--- This is mainly to be used for testing.

--- Search for regexp pattern {pattern}.  The search starts at the
--- cursor position (you can use |cursor()| to set it).
---
--- When a match has been found its line number is returned.
--- If there is no match a 0 is returned and the cursor doesn't
--- move.  No error message is given.
--- To get the matched string, use |matchbufline()|.
---
--- {flags} is a String, which can contain these character flags:
--- 'b'  search Backward instead of forward
--- 'c'  accept a match at the Cursor position
--- 'e'  move to the End of the match
--- 'n'  do Not move the cursor
--- 'p'  return number of matching sub-Pattern (see below)
--- 's'  Set the ' mark at the previous location of the cursor
--- 'w'  Wrap around the end of the file
--- 'W'  don't Wrap around the end of the file
--- 'z'  start searching at the cursor column instead of Zero
--- If neither 'w' or 'W' is given, the 'wrapscan' option applies.
---
--- If the 's' flag is supplied, the ' mark is set, only if the
--- cursor is moved. The 's' flag cannot be combined with the 'n'
--- flag.
---
--- 'ignorecase', 'smartcase' and 'magic' are used.
---
--- When the 'z' flag is not given, forward searching always
--- starts in column zero and then matches before the cursor are
--- skipped.  When the 'c' flag is present in 'cpo' the next
--- search starts after the match.  Without the 'c' flag the next
--- search starts one column after the start of the match.  This
--- matters for overlapping matches.  See |cpo-c|.  You can also
--- insert "\ze" to change where the match ends, see  |/\ze|.
---
--- When searching backwards and the 'z' flag is given then the
--- search starts in column zero, thus no match in the current
--- line will be found (unless wrapping around the end of the
--- file).
---
--- When the {stopline} argument is given then the search stops
--- after searching this line.  This is useful to restrict the
--- search to a range of lines.  Examples: >vim
---   let match = search('(', 'b', line("w0"))
---   let end = search('END', '', line("w$"))
--- <When {stopline} is used and it is not zero this also implies
--- that the search does not wrap around the end of the file.
--- A zero value is equal to not giving the argument.
---
--- When the {timeout} argument is given the search stops when
--- more than this many milliseconds have passed.  Thus when
--- {timeout} is 500 the search stops after half a second.
--- The value must not be negative.  A zero value is like not
--- giving the argument.
---
--- Note: the timeout is only considered when searching, not
--- while evaluating the {skip} expression.
---
--- If the {skip} expression is given it is evaluated with the
--- cursor positioned on the start of a match.  If it evaluates to
--- non-zero this match is skipped.  This can be used, for
--- example, to skip a match in a comment or a string.
--- {skip} can be a string, which is evaluated as an expression, a
--- function reference or a lambda.
--- When {skip} is omitted or empty, every match is accepted.
--- When evaluating {skip} causes an error the search is aborted
--- and -1 returned.
---           *search()-sub-match*
--- With the 'p' flag the returned value is one more than the
--- first sub-match in \(\).  One if none of them matched but the
--- whole pattern did match.
--- To get the column number too use |searchpos()|.
---
--- The cursor will be positioned at the match, unless the 'n'
--- flag is used.
---
--- Example (goes over all files in the argument list): >vim
---     let n = 1
---     while n <= argc()      " loop over all files in arglist
---       exe "argument " .. n
---       " start at the last char in the file and wrap for the
---       " first search to find match at start of file
---       normal G$
---       let flags = "w"
---       while search("foo", flags) > 0
---         s/foo/bar/g
---         let flags = "W"
---       endwhile
---       update        " write the file if modified
---       let n = n + 1
---     endwhile
--- <
--- Example for using some flags: >vim
---     echo search('\<if\|\(else\)\|\(endif\)', 'ncpe')
--- <This will search for the keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
--- under or after the cursor.  Because of the 'p' flag, it
--- returns 1, 2, or 3 depending on which keyword is found, or 0
--- if the search fails.  With the cursor on the first word of the
--- line:
---     if (foo == 0) | let foo = foo + 1 | endif ~
--- the function returns 1.  Without the 'c' flag, the function
--- finds the "endif" and returns 3.  The same thing happens
--- without the 'e' flag if the cursor is on the "f" of "if".
--- The 'n' flag tells the function not to move the cursor.

--- Get or update the last search count, like what is displayed
--- without the "S" flag in 'shortmess'.  This works even if

--- For {options} see further down.
---
--- To get the last search count when |n| or |N| was pressed, call
--- this function with `recompute: 0` . This sometimes returns
--- wrong information because |n| and |N|'s maximum count is 99.
--- If it exceeded 99 the result must be max count + 1 (100). If

--- Search for the declaration of {name}.
---
--- With a non-zero {global} argument it works like |gD|, find
--- first match in the file.  Otherwise it works like |gd|, find
--- first match in the function.
---
--- With a non-zero {thisblock} argument matches in a {} block
--- that ends before the cursor position are ignored.  Avoids
--- finding variable declarations only valid in another scope.
---
--- Moves the cursor to the found match.
--- Returns zero for success, non-zero for failure.
--- Example: >vim
---   if searchdecl('myvar') == 0
---      echo getline('.')
---   endif
--- <
---
--- @param name string
--- @param global? boolean
--- @param thisblock? boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.searchdecl(name, global, thisblock) end

--- Search for the match of a nested start-end pair.  This can be
--- used to find the "endif" that matches an "if", while other
--- if/endif pairs in between are ignored.
--- The search starts at the cursor.  The default is to search
--- forward, include 'b' in {flags} to search backward.
--- If a match is found, the cursor is positioned at it and the
--- line number is returned.  If no match is found 0 or -1 is
--- returned and the cursor doesn't move.  No error message is
--- given.
---
--- {start}, {middle} and {end} are patterns, see |pattern|.  They
--- must not contain \( \) pairs.  Use of \%( \) is allowed.  When
--- {middle} is not empty, it is found when searching from either
--- direction, but only when not in a nested start-end pair.  A
--- typical use is: >vim
---   echo searchpair('\<if\>', '\<else\>', '\<endif\>')
--- <By leaving {middle} empty the "else" is skipped.
---
--- {flags} 'b', 'c', 'n', 's', 'w' and 'W' are used like with
--- |search()|.  Additionally:
--- 'r'  Repeat until no more matches found; will find the
---   outer pair.  Implies the 'W' flag.
--- 'm'  Return number of matches instead of line number with
---   the match; will be > 1 when 'r' is used.
--- Note: it's nearly always a good idea to use the 'W' flag, to
--- avoid wrapping around the end of the file.
---
--- When a match for {start}, {middle} or {end} is found, the
--- {skip} expression is evaluated with the cursor positioned on
--- the start of the match.  It should return non-zero if this
--- match is to be skipped.  E.g., because it is inside a comment
--- or a string.
--- When {skip} is omitted or empty, every match is accepted.
--- When evaluating {skip} causes an error the search is aborted
--- and -1 returned.
--- {skip} can be a string, a lambda, a funcref or a partial.
--- Anything else makes the function fail.
---
--- For {stopline} and {timeout} see |search()|.
---
--- The value of 'ignorecase' is used.  'magic' is ignored, the
--- patterns are used like it's on.
---
--- The search starts exactly at the cursor.  A match with
--- {start}, {middle} or {end} at the next character, in the
--- direction of searching, is the first one found.  Example: >vim
---   if 1
---     if 2
---     endif 2
---   endif 1
--- <When starting at the "if 2", with the cursor on the "i", and
--- searching forwards, the "endif 2" is found.  When starting on
--- the character just before the "if 2", the "endif 1" will be
--- found.  That's because the "if 2" will be found first, and
--- then this is considered to be a nested if/endif from "if 2" to
--- "endif 2".
--- When searching backwards and {end} is more than one character,
--- it may be useful to put "\zs" at the end of the pattern, so
--- that when the cursor is inside a match with the end it finds
--- the matching start.
---
--- Example, to find the "endif" command in a Vim script: >vim
---
---   echo searchpair('\<if\>', '\<el\%[seif]\>', '\<en\%[dif]\>', 'W',
---   \ 'getline(".") =~ "^\\s*\""')
---
--- <The cursor must be at or after the "if" for which a match is
--- to be found.  Note that single-quote strings are used to avoid
--- having to double the backslashes.  The skip expression only
--- catches comments at the start of a line, not after a command.
--- Also, a word "en" or "if" halfway through a line is considered
--- a match.
--- Another example, to search for the matching "{" of a "}": >vim
---
---   echo searchpair('{', '', '}', 'bW')
---
--- <This works when the cursor is at or before the "}" for which a
--- match is to be found.  To reject matches that syntax
--- highlighting recognized as strings: >vim
---
---   echo searchpair('{', '', '}', 'bW',
---        \ 'synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 0), "name") =~? "string"')

--- Opens a socket or named pipe at {address} and listens for

---
--- Returns the address string (which may differ from the
--- {address} argument, see below).
---
--- - If {address} has a colon (":") it is a TCP/IPv4/IPv6 address
---   where the last ":" separates host and port (empty or zero
---   assigns a random port).
--- - Else {address} is the path to a named pipe (except on Windows).
---   - If {address} has no slashes ("/") it is treated as the
---     "name" part of a generated path in this format: >vim
---   stdpath("run").."/{name}.{pid}.{counter}"
--- <  - If {address} is omitted the name is "nvim". >vim

--- Set line {lnum} to {text} in buffer {buf}.  This works like

---
--- This function works only for loaded buffers. First call
--- |bufload()| if needed.
---
--- To insert lines use |appendbufline()|.
---
--- {text} can be a string to set one line, or a List of strings
--- to set multiple lines.  If the List extends below the last
--- line then those lines are added.  If the List is empty then
--- nothing is changed and zero is returned.
---
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()| above.
---
--- {lnum} is used like with |setline()|.
--- Use "$" to refer to the last line in buffer {buf}.
--- When {lnum} is just below the last line the {text} will be
--- added below the last line.
--- On success 0 is returned, on failure 1 is returned.
---
--- If {buf} is not a valid buffer or {lnum} is not valid, an
--- error message is given.
---
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @param lnum integer
--- @param text string|string[]
--- @return integer

--- Set option or local variable {varname} in buffer {buf} to
--- {val}.
--- This also works for a global or local window option, but it
--- doesn't work for a global or local window variable.
--- For a local window option the global value is unchanged.
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()| above.
--- The {varname} argument is a string.
--- Note that the variable name without "b:" must be used.
--- Examples: >vim
---   call setbufvar(1, "&mod", 1)
---   call setbufvar("todo", "myvar", "foobar")
--- <This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
---
--- @param buf integer|string

--- Specify overrides for cell widths of character ranges.  This
--- tells Vim how wide characters are when displayed in the
--- terminal, counted in screen cells.  The values override
--- 'ambiwidth'.  Example: >vim
---    call setcellwidths([
---     \ [0x111, 0x111, 1],
---     \ [0x2194, 0x2199, 2],
---     \ ])
---
--- <The {list} argument is a List of Lists with each three
--- numbers: [{low}, {high}, {width}].  *E1109* *E1110*
--- {low} and {high} can be the same, in which case this refers to
--- one character.  Otherwise it is the range of characters from
--- {low} to {high} (inclusive).    *E1111* *E1114*
--- Only characters with value 0x80 and higher can be used.
---
--- {width} must be either 1 or 2, indicating the character width
--- in screen cells.      *E1112*
--- An error is given if the argument is invalid, also when a
--- range overlaps with another.    *E1113*
---
--- If the new value causes 'fillchars' or 'listchars' to become
--- invalid it is rejected and an error is given.
---
--- To clear the overrides pass an empty {list}: >vim
---    call setcellwidths([])
---
--- <You can use the script $VIMRUNTIME/scripts/emoji_list.lua to see
--- the effect for known emoji characters.  Move the cursor
--- through the text to check if the cell widths of your terminal

---
--- Example:
--- With the text "여보세요" in line 8: >vim
---   call setcharpos('.', [0, 8, 4, 0])
--- <positions the cursor on the fourth character '요'. >vim

--- <positions the cursor on the second character '보'.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @param list integer[]
--- @return any

--- Set the current character search information to {dict},
--- which contains one or more of the following entries:
---
---     char  character which will be used for a subsequent
---     |,| or |;| command; an empty string clears the
---     character search
---     forward  direction of character search; 1 for forward,
---     0 for backward
---     until  type of character search; 1 for a |t| or |T|
---     character search, 0 for an |f| or |F|
---     character search
---
--- This can be useful to save/restore a user's character search
--- from a script: >vim
---   let prevsearch = getcharsearch()
---   " Perform a command which clobbers user's search
---   call setcharsearch(prevsearch)
--- <Also see |getcharsearch()|.
---
--- @param dict string
--- @return any

--- If {pos} is omitted, the cursor is positioned after the text.
--- Returns 0 when successful, 1 when not editing the command
--- line.
---
--- @param str string
--- @param pos? integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.setcmdline(str, pos) end

--- Set the cursor position in the command line to byte position
--- {pos}.  The first position is 1.
--- Use |getcmdpos()| to obtain the current position.
--- Only works while editing the command line, thus you must use
--- |c_CTRL-\_e|, |c_CTRL-R_=| or |c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R| with '='.  For
--- |c_CTRL-\_e| and |c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R| with '=' the position is
--- set after the command line is set to the expression.  For
--- |c_CTRL-R_=| it is set after evaluating the expression but
--- before inserting the resulting text.
--- When the number is too big the cursor is put at the end of the
--- line.  A number smaller than one has undefined results.
--- Returns 0 when successful, 1 when not editing the command
--- line.

---
--- Example:
--- With the text "여보세요" in line 4: >vim
---   call setcursorcharpos(4, 3)
--- <positions the cursor on the third character '세'. >vim
---   call cursor(4, 3)
--- <positions the cursor on the first character '여'.
---
--- @param list integer[]
--- @return any

--- Set environment variable {name} to {val}.  Example: >vim
---   call setenv('HOME', '/home/myhome')
---
--- <When {val} is |v:null| the environment variable is deleted.
--- See also |expr-env|.
---
--- @param name string
--- @param val string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.setenv(name, val) end

--- Set the file permissions for {fname} to {mode}.
--- {mode} must be a string with 9 characters.  It is of the form
--- "rwxrwxrwx", where each group of "rwx" flags represent, in
--- turn, the permissions of the owner of the file, the group the
--- file belongs to, and other users.  A '-' character means the
--- permission is off, any other character means on.  Multi-byte
--- characters are not supported.
---
--- For example "rw-r-----" means read-write for the user,
--- readable by the group, not accessible by others.  "xx-x-----"
--- would do the same thing.
---
--- Returns non-zero for success, zero for failure.
---
--- To read permissions see |getfperm()|.
---
--- @param fname string
--- @param mode string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.setfperm(fname, mode) end

--- Set line {lnum} of the current buffer to {text}.  To insert
--- lines use |append()|. To set lines in another buffer use
--- |setbufline()|.
---
--- {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.
--- When {lnum} is just below the last line the {text} will be
--- added below the last line.
--- {text} can be any type or a List of any type, each item is
--- converted to a String.  When {text} is an empty List then
--- nothing is changed and FALSE is returned.
---
--- If this succeeds, FALSE is returned.  If this fails (most likely
--- because {lnum} is invalid) TRUE is returned.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   call setline(5, strftime("%c"))
---
--- <When {text} is a |List| then line {lnum} and following lines
--- will be set to the items in the list.  Example: >vim
---   call setline(5, ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'])
--- <This is equivalent to: >vim
---   for [n, l] in [[5, 'aaa'], [6, 'bbb'], [7, 'ccc']]

--- Create or replace or add to the location list for window {nr}.
--- {nr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- When {nr} is zero the current window is used.
---
--- For a location list window, the displayed location list is

--- {list} must be a |List| with four or five numbers:
---     [bufnum, lnum, col, off]
---     [bufnum, lnum, col, off, curswant]
---
--- "bufnum" is the buffer number.  Zero can be used for the
--- current buffer.  When setting an uppercase mark "bufnum" is
--- used for the mark position.  For other marks it specifies the
--- buffer to set the mark in.  You can use the |bufnr()| function
--- to turn a file name into a buffer number.
--- For setting the cursor and the ' mark "bufnum" is ignored,
--- since these are associated with a window, not a buffer.
--- Does not change the jumplist.
---
--- "lnum" and "col" are the position in the buffer.  The first
--- column is 1.  Use a zero "lnum" to delete a mark.  If "col" is
--- smaller than 1 then 1 is used. To use the character count
--- instead of the byte count, use |setcharpos()|.
---
--- The "off" number is only used when 'virtualedit' is set. Then
--- it is the offset in screen columns from the start of the
--- character.  E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last
--- character.
---
--- The "curswant" number is only used when setting the cursor
--- position.  It sets the preferred column for when moving the
--- cursor vertically.  When the "curswant" number is missing the
--- preferred column is not set.  When it is present and setting a
--- mark position it is not used.
---
--- Note that for '< and '> changing the line number may result in
--- the marks to be effectively be swapped, so that '< is always
--- before '>.
---
--- Returns 0 when the position could be set, -1 otherwise.
--- An error message is given if {expr} is invalid.
---
--- Also see |setcharpos()|, |getpos()| and |getcurpos()|.
---
--- This does not restore the preferred column for moving
--- vertically; if you set the cursor position with this, |j| and
--- |k| motions will jump to previous columns!  Use |cursor()| to
--- also set the preferred column.  Also see the "curswant" key in

---     a function or a funcref or a lambda.  Refer to
---     |quickfix-window-function| for an explanation
---     of how to write the function and an example.
---     title  quickfix list title text. See |quickfix-title|
--- Unsupported keys in {what} are ignored.
--- If the "nr" item is not present, then the current quickfix list
--- is modified. When creating a new quickfix list, "nr" can be
--- set to a value one greater than the quickfix stack size.
--- When modifying a quickfix list, to guarantee that the correct
--- list is modified, "id" should be used instead of "nr" to
--- specify the list.
---
--- Examples (See also |setqflist-examples|): >vim
---    call setqflist([], 'r', {'title': 'My search'})
---    call setqflist([], 'r', {'nr': 2, 'title': 'Errors'})
---    call setqflist([], 'a', {'id':qfid, 'lines':["F1:10:L10"]})
--- <
--- Returns zero for success, -1 for failure.
---
--- This function can be used to create a quickfix list
--- independent of the 'errorformat' setting.  Use a command like
--- `:cc 1` to jump to the first position.
---
--- @param list vim.quickfix.entry[]
--- @param action? string
--- @param what? vim.fn.setqflist.what
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.setqflist(list, action, what) end

--- Set the register {regname} to {value}.
--- If {regname} is "" or "\@", the unnamed register '"' is used.
--- The {regname} argument is a string.
---
--- {value} may be any value returned by |getreg()| or
--- |getreginfo()|, including a |List| or |Dict|.
--- If {options} contains "a" or {regname} is upper case,
--- then the value is appended.
---
--- {options} can also contain a register type specification:
---     "c" or "v"        |charwise| mode
---     "l" or "V"        |linewise| mode
---     "b" or "<CTRL-V>" |blockwise-visual| mode
--- If a number immediately follows "b" or "<CTRL-V>" then this is
--- used as the width of the selection - if it is not specified
--- then the width of the block is set to the number of characters
--- in the longest line (counting a <Tab> as 1 character).
--- If {options} contains "u" or '"', then the unnamed register is
--- set to point to register {regname}.
---
--- If {options} contains no register settings, then the default
--- is to use character mode unless {value} ends in a <NL> for
--- string {value} and linewise mode for list {value}. Blockwise
--- mode is never selected automatically.
--- Returns zero for success, non-zero for failure.
---
---           *E883*
--- Note: you may not use |List| containing more than one item to
---       set search and expression registers. Lists containing no
---       items act like empty strings.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   call setreg(v:register, \@*)
---   call setreg('*', \@%, 'ac')
---   call setreg('a', "1\n2\n3", 'b5')
---   call setreg('"', { 'points_to': 'a'})
---
--- <This example shows using the functions to save and restore a
--- register: >vim
---   let var_a = getreginfo()
---   call setreg('a', var_a)
--- <or: >vim
---   let var_a = getreg('a', 1, 1)
---   let var_amode = getregtype('a')
---   " ....
---   call setreg('a', var_a, var_amode)
--- <Note: you may not reliably restore register value
--- without using the third argument to |getreg()| as without it
--- newlines are represented as newlines AND Nul bytes are
--- represented as newlines as well, see |NL-used-for-Nul|.
---
--- You can also change the type of a register by appending
--- nothing: >vim
---   call setreg('a', '', 'al')
---
--- @param regname string
--- @param value any
--- @param options? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.setreg(regname, value, options) end

--- Set tab-local variable {varname} to {val} in tab page {tabnr}.
--- |t:var|
--- The {varname} argument is a string.
--- Note that the variable name without "t:" must be used.
--- Tabs are numbered starting with one.
--- This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
---
--- @param tabnr integer
--- @param varname string
--- @param val any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.settabvar(tabnr, varname, val) end

--- Set option or local variable {varname} in window {winnr} to
--- {val}.
--- Tabs are numbered starting with one.  For the current tabpage
--- use |setwinvar()|.
--- {winnr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
--- When {winnr} is zero the current window is used.
--- This also works for a global or local buffer option, but it
--- doesn't work for a global or local buffer variable.
--- For a local buffer option the global value is unchanged.
--- Note that the variable name without "w:" must be used.
--- Examples: >vim
---   call settabwinvar(1, 1, "&list", 0)
---   call settabwinvar(3, 2, "myvar", "foobar")
--- <This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
---
--- @param tabnr integer
--- @param winnr integer
--- @param varname string
--- @param val any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.settabwinvar(tabnr, winnr, varname, val) end

--- Modify the tag stack of the window {nr} using {dict}.
--- {nr} can be the window number or the |window-ID|.
---
--- For a list of supported items in {dict}, refer to
--- |gettagstack()|. "curidx" takes effect before changing the tag
--- stack.
---           *E962*
--- How the tag stack is modified depends on the {action}
--- argument:
--- - If {action} is not present or is set to 'r', then the tag
---   stack is replaced.
--- - If {action} is set to 'a', then new entries from {dict} are
---   pushed (added) onto the tag stack.
--- - If {action} is set to 't', then all the entries from the
---   current entry in the tag stack or "curidx" in {dict} are
---   removed and then new entries are pushed to the stack.
---
--- The current index is set to one after the length of the tag
--- stack after the modification.
---
--- Returns zero for success, -1 for failure.
---
--- Examples (for more examples see |tagstack-examples|):
---     Empty the tag stack of window 3: >vim
---   call settagstack(3, {'items' : []})
---
--- <    Save and restore the tag stack: >vim
---   let stack = gettagstack(1003)
---   " do something else
---   call settagstack(1003, stack)
---   unlet stack
--- <
---
--- @param nr integer
--- @param dict any
--- @param action? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.settagstack(nr, dict, action) end

--- Like |settabwinvar()| for the current tab page.
--- Examples: >vim
---   call setwinvar(1, "&list", 0)
---   call setwinvar(2, "myvar", "foobar")
---
--- @param nr integer
--- @param varname string
--- @param val any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.setwinvar(nr, varname, val) end

--- Returns a String with 64 hex characters, which is the SHA256
--- checksum of {string}.
---
--- @param string string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.sha256(string) end

--- Escape {string} for use as a shell command argument.
---
--- On Windows when 'shellslash' is not set, encloses {string} in
--- double-quotes and doubles all double-quotes within {string}.
--- Otherwise encloses {string} in single-quotes and replaces all
--- "'" with "'\''".
---
--- The {special} argument adds additional escaping of keywords
--- used in Vim commands. If it is a |non-zero-arg|:
--- - Special items such as "!", "%", "#" and "<cword>" (as listed
---   in |expand()|) will be preceded by a backslash.
---   The backslash will be removed again by the |:!| command.
--- - The <NL> character is escaped.
---
--- If 'shell' contains "csh" in the tail:
--- - The "!" character will be escaped. This is because csh and
---   tcsh use "!" for history replacement even in single-quotes.
--- - The <NL> character is escaped (twice if {special} is
---   a |non-zero-arg|).
---
--- If 'shell' contains "fish" in the tail, the "\" character will
--- be escaped because in fish it is used as an escape character
--- inside single quotes.
---
--- Example of use with a |:!| command: >vim
---     exe '!dir ' .. shellescape(expand('<cfile>'), 1)
--- <This results in a directory listing for the file under the
--- cursor.  Example of use with |system()|: >vim
---     call system("chmod +w -- " .. shellescape(expand("%")))
--- <See also |::S|.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param special? boolean
--- @return string
function vim.fn.shellescape(string, special) end

--- Returns the effective value of 'shiftwidth'. This is the
--- 'shiftwidth' value unless it is zero, in which case it is the
--- 'tabstop' value.  To be backwards compatible in indent
--- plugins, use this: >vim
---   if exists('*shiftwidth')
---     func s:sw()
---       return shiftwidth()
---     endfunc
---   else
---     func s:sw()
---       return &sw
---     endfunc
---   endif
--- <And then use s:sw() instead of &sw.
---
--- When there is one argument {col} this is used as column number
--- for which to return the 'shiftwidth' value. This matters for the
--- 'vartabstop' feature. If no {col} argument is given, column 1
--- will be assumed.
---
--- @param col? integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.shiftwidth(col) end

--- @param name string
--- @param dict? vim.fn.sign_define.dict
--- @return 0|-1
function vim.fn.sign_define(name, dict) end

--- Define a new sign named {name} or modify the attributes of an
--- existing sign.  This is similar to the |:sign-define| command.
---
--- Prefix {name} with a unique text to avoid name collisions.
--- There is no {group} like with placing signs.
---
--- The {name} can be a String or a Number.  The optional {dict}
--- argument specifies the sign attributes.  The following values
--- are supported:
---    icon    full path to the bitmap file for the sign.
---    linehl  highlight group used for the whole line the
---     sign is placed in.
---    priority  default priority value of the sign
---    numhl  highlight group used for the line number where
---     the sign is placed.
---    text    text that is displayed when there is no icon
---     or the GUI is not being used.
---    texthl  highlight group used for the text item
---    culhl  highlight group used for the text item when
---     the cursor is on the same line as the sign and
---     'cursorline' is enabled.
---
--- If the sign named {name} already exists, then the attributes
--- of the sign are updated.
---
--- The one argument {list} can be used to define a list of signs.
--- Each list item is a dictionary with the above items in {dict}
--- and a "name" item for the sign name.
---
--- Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.  When the one argument
--- {list} is used, then returns a List of values one for each
--- defined sign.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   call sign_define("mySign", {
---     \ "text" : "=>",
---     \ "texthl" : "Error",
---     \ "linehl" : "Search"})
---   call sign_define([
---     \ {'name' : 'sign1',
---     \  'text' : '=>'},
---     \ {'name' : 'sign2',
---     \  'text' : '!!'}
---     \ ])
--- <
---
--- @param list vim.fn.sign_define.dict[]
--- @return (0|-1)[]
function vim.fn.sign_define(list) end

--- Get a list of defined signs and their attributes.
--- This is similar to the |:sign-list| command.
---
--- If the {name} is not supplied, then a list of all the defined
--- signs is returned. Otherwise the attribute of the specified
--- sign is returned.
---
--- Each list item in the returned value is a dictionary with the
--- following entries:
---    icon    full path to the bitmap file of the sign
---    linehl  highlight group used for the whole line the
---     sign is placed in; not present if not set.
---    name    name of the sign
---    priority  default priority value of the sign
---    numhl  highlight group used for the line number where
---     the sign is placed; not present if not set.
---    text    text that is displayed when there is no icon
---     or the GUI is not being used.
---    texthl  highlight group used for the text item; not
---     present if not set.
---    culhl  highlight group used for the text item when
---     the cursor is on the same line as the sign and
---     'cursorline' is enabled; not present if not
---     set.
---
--- Returns an empty List if there are no signs and when {name} is
--- not found.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Get a list of all the defined signs
---   echo sign_getdefined()
---
---   " Get the attribute of the sign named mySign
---   echo sign_getdefined("mySign")
--- <
---
--- @param name? string
--- @return vim.fn.sign_getdefined.ret.item[]
function vim.fn.sign_getdefined(name) end

--- Return a list of signs placed in a buffer or all the buffers.
--- This is similar to the |:sign-place-list| command.
---
--- If the optional buffer name {buf} is specified, then only the
--- list of signs placed in that buffer is returned.  For the use
--- of {buf}, see |bufname()|. The optional {dict} can contain
--- the following entries:
---    group  select only signs in this group
---    id    select sign with this identifier
---    lnum    select signs placed in this line. For the use
---     of {lnum}, see |line()|.
--- If {group} is "*", then signs in all the groups including the
--- global group are returned. If {group} is not supplied or is an
--- empty string, then only signs in the global group are
--- returned.  If no arguments are supplied, then signs in the
--- global group placed in all the buffers are returned.
--- See |sign-group|.
---
--- Each list item in the returned value is a dictionary with the
--- following entries:
---   bufnr  number of the buffer with the sign
---   signs  list of signs placed in {bufnr}. Each list
---     item is a dictionary with the below listed
---     entries
---
--- The dictionary for each sign contains the following entries:
---   group   sign group. Set to '' for the global group.
---   id   identifier of the sign
---   lnum   line number where the sign is placed
---   name   name of the defined sign
---   priority sign priority
---
--- The returned signs in a buffer are ordered by their line
--- number and priority.
---
--- Returns an empty list on failure or if there are no placed
--- signs.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Get a List of signs placed in eval.c in the
---   " global group
---   echo sign_getplaced("eval.c")
---
---   " Get a List of signs in group 'g1' placed in eval.c
---   echo sign_getplaced("eval.c", {'group' : 'g1'})
---
---   " Get a List of signs placed at line 10 in eval.c
---   echo sign_getplaced("eval.c", {'lnum' : 10})
---
---   " Get sign with identifier 10 placed in a.py
---   echo sign_getplaced("a.py", {'id' : 10})
---
---   " Get sign with id 20 in group 'g1' placed in a.py
---   echo sign_getplaced("a.py", {'group' : 'g1',

function vim.fn.sign_getplaced(buf, dict) end

--- Open the buffer {buf} or jump to the window that contains
--- {buf} and position the cursor at sign {id} in group {group}.
--- This is similar to the |:sign-jump| command.
---
--- If {group} is an empty string, then the global group is used.
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()|.
---
--- Returns the line number of the sign. Returns -1 if the
--- arguments are invalid.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   " Jump to sign 10 in the current buffer
---   call sign_jump(10, '', '')
--- <
---
--- @param id integer
--- @param group string
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.sign_jump(id, group, buf) end

--- Place the sign defined as {name} at line {lnum} in file or
--- buffer {buf} and assign {id} and {group} to sign.  This is
--- similar to the |:sign-place| command.
---
--- If the sign identifier {id} is zero, then a new identifier is
--- allocated.  Otherwise the specified number is used. {group} is
--- the sign group name. To use the global sign group, use an
--- empty string.  {group} functions as a namespace for {id}, thus
--- two groups can use the same IDs. Refer to |sign-identifier|
--- and |sign-group| for more information.
---
--- {name} refers to a defined sign.
--- {buf} refers to a buffer name or number. For the accepted
--- values, see |bufname()|.
---
--- The optional {dict} argument supports the following entries:
---   lnum    line number in the file or buffer
---       {buf} where the sign is to be placed.
---       For the accepted values, see |line()|.
---   priority  priority of the sign. See
---       |sign-priority| for more information.
---
--- If the optional {dict} is not specified, then it modifies the
--- placed sign {id} in group {group} to use the defined sign
--- {name}.
---
--- Returns the sign identifier on success and -1 on failure.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Place a sign named sign1 with id 5 at line 20 in
---   " buffer json.c
---   call sign_place(5, '', 'sign1', 'json.c',

function vim.fn.sign_place(id, group, name, buf, dict) end

--- Place one or more signs.  This is similar to the
--- |sign_place()| function.  The {list} argument specifies the
--- List of signs to place. Each list item is a dict with the
--- following sign attributes:
---     buffer  Buffer name or number. For the accepted
---     values, see |bufname()|.
---     group  Sign group. {group} functions as a namespace
---     for {id}, thus two groups can use the same
---     IDs. If not specified or set to an empty
---     string, then the global group is used.   See
---     |sign-group| for more information.
---     id    Sign identifier. If not specified or zero,
---     then a new unique identifier is allocated.
---     Otherwise the specified number is used. See
---     |sign-identifier| for more information.
---     lnum  Line number in the buffer where the sign is to
---     be placed. For the accepted values, see
---     |line()|.
---     name  Name of the sign to place. See |sign_define()|
---     for more information.
---     priority  Priority of the sign. When multiple signs are
---     placed on a line, the sign with the highest
---     priority is used. If not specified, the
---     default value of 10 is used, unless specified
---     otherwise by the sign definition. See
---     |sign-priority| for more information.
---
--- If {id} refers to an existing sign, then the existing sign is
--- modified to use the specified {name} and/or {priority}.
---
--- Returns a List of sign identifiers. If failed to place a
--- sign, the corresponding list item is set to -1.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Place sign s1 with id 5 at line 20 and id 10 at line
---   " 30 in buffer a.c

function vim.fn.sign_undefine(name) end

--- Deletes a previously defined sign {name}. This is similar to
--- the |:sign-undefine| command. If {name} is not supplied, then
--- deletes all the defined signs.
---
--- The one argument {list} can be used to undefine a list of
--- signs. Each list item is the name of a sign.
---
--- Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.  For the one argument
--- {list} call, returns a list of values one for each undefined
--- sign.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Delete a sign named mySign
---   call sign_undefine("mySign")
---
---   " Delete signs 'sign1' and 'sign2'

--- Remove a previously placed sign in one or more buffers.  This
--- is similar to the |:sign-unplace| command.
---
--- {group} is the sign group name. To use the global sign group,
--- use an empty string.  If {group} is set to "*", then all the
--- groups including the global group are used.
--- The signs in {group} are selected based on the entries in
--- {dict}.  The following optional entries in {dict} are
--- supported:
---   buffer  buffer name or number. See |bufname()|.
---   id  sign identifier
--- If {dict} is not supplied, then all the signs in {group} are
--- removed.
---
--- Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   " Remove sign 10 from buffer a.vim

function vim.fn.sign_unplace(group, dict) end

--- Remove previously placed signs from one or more buffers.  This
--- is similar to the |sign_unplace()| function.
---
--- The {list} argument specifies the List of signs to remove.
--- Each list item is a dict with the following sign attributes:
---     buffer  buffer name or number. For the accepted
---     values, see |bufname()|. If not specified,
---     then the specified sign is removed from all
---     the buffers.
---     group  sign group name. If not specified or set to an
---     empty string, then the global sign group is
---     used. If set to "*", then all the groups
---     including the global group are used.
---     id    sign identifier. If not specified, then all
---     the signs in the specified group are removed.
---
--- Returns a List where an entry is set to 0 if the corresponding
--- sign was successfully removed or -1 on failure.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   " Remove sign with id 10 from buffer a.vim and sign
---   " with id 20 from buffer b.vim
---   call sign_unplacelist([

--- Simplify the file name as much as possible without changing
--- the meaning.  Shortcuts (on MS-Windows) or symbolic links (on
--- Unix) are not resolved.  If the first path component in

--- valid for the result as well.  A trailing path separator is
--- not removed either. On Unix "//path" is unchanged, but
--- "///path" is simplified to "/path" (this follows the Posix
--- standard).
--- Example: >vim
---   simplify("./dir/.././/file/") == "./file/"
--- <Note: The combination "dir/.." is only removed if "dir" is
--- a searchable directory or does not exist.  On Unix, it is also
--- removed when "dir" is a symbolic link within the same

--- links before simplifying the path name, use |resolve()|.

--- Return the sine of {expr}, measured in radians, as a |Float|.
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim

--- Return the hyperbolic sine of {expr} as a |Float| in the range
--- [-inf, inf].
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo sinh(0.5)
--- <  0.521095 >vim
---   echo sinh(-0.9)
--- <  -1.026517
---
--- @param expr number

--- Similar to using a |slice| "expr[start : end]", but "end" is
--- used exclusive.  And for a string the indexes are used as
--- character indexes instead of byte indexes.
--- Also, composing characters are treated as a part of the
--- preceding base character.
--- When {end} is omitted the slice continues to the last item.
--- When {end} is -1 the last item is omitted.
--- Returns an empty value if {start} or {end} are invalid.

--- @param expr any
--- @param start integer

--- Connect a socket to an address. If {mode} is "pipe" then
--- {address} should be the path of a local domain socket (on
--- unix) or named pipe (on Windows). If {mode} is "tcp" then
--- {address} should be of the form "host:port" where the host
--- should be an ip address or host name, and port the port
--- number.
---
--- For "pipe" mode, see |luv-pipe-handle|. For "tcp" mode, see
--- |luv-tcp-handle|.
---
--- Returns a |channel| ID. Close the socket with |chanclose()|.
--- Use |chansend()| to send data over a bytes socket, and
--- |rpcrequest()| and |rpcnotify()| to communicate with a RPC
--- socket.
---
--- {opts} is an optional dictionary with these keys:
---   |on_data| : callback invoked when data was read from socket
---   data_buffered : read socket data in |channel-buffered| mode.
---   rpc     : If set, |msgpack-rpc| will be used to communicate
---       over the socket.
--- Returns:
---   - The channel ID on success (greater than zero)
---   - 0 on invalid arguments or connection failure.

--- @param mode string
--- @param address string
--- @param opts? table
--- @return any

--- Sort the items in {list} in-place.  Returns {list}.
---
--- If you want a list to remain unmodified make a copy first: >vim
---   let sortedlist = sort(copy(mylist))
---
--- <When {how} is omitted or is a string, then sort() uses the
--- string representation of each item to sort on.  Numbers sort
--- after Strings, |Lists| after Numbers.  For sorting text in the
--- current buffer use |:sort|.
---
--- When {how} is given and it is 'i' then case is ignored.
--- For backwards compatibility, the value one can be used to
--- ignore case.  Zero means to not ignore case.
---
--- When {how} is given and it is 'l' then the current collation
--- locale is used for ordering. Implementation details: strcoll()
--- is used to compare strings. See |:language| check or set the
--- collation locale. |v:collate| can also be used to check the
--- current locale. Sorting using the locale typically ignores
--- case. Example: >vim
---   " ö is sorted similarly to o with English locale.
---   language collate en_US.UTF8
---   echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'], 'l')
--- <  ['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'] ~
--- >vim
---   " ö is sorted after z with Swedish locale.
---   language collate sv_SE.UTF8
---   echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'], 'l')
--- <  ['n', 'o', 'O', 'p', 'z', 'ö'] ~
--- This does not work properly on Mac.
---
--- When {how} is given and it is 'n' then all items will be
--- sorted numerical (Implementation detail: this uses the
--- strtod() function to parse numbers, Strings, Lists, Dicts and
--- Funcrefs will be considered as being 0).
---
--- When {how} is given and it is 'N' then all items will be
--- sorted numerical. This is like 'n' but a string containing
--- digits will be used as the number they represent.
---
--- When {how} is given and it is 'f' then all items will be
--- sorted numerical. All values must be a Number or a Float.
---
--- When {how} is a |Funcref| or a function name, this function
--- is called to compare items.  The function is invoked with two
--- items as argument and must return zero if they are equal, 1 or
--- bigger if the first one sorts after the second one, -1 or
--- smaller if the first one sorts before the second one.
---
--- {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute.  It will be
--- used to set the local variable "self". |Dictionary-function|
---
--- The sort is stable, items which compare equal (as number or as
--- string) will keep their relative position. E.g., when sorting
--- on numbers, text strings will sort next to each other, in the
--- same order as they were originally.
---
---
--- Example: >vim
---   func MyCompare(i1, i2)
---      return a:i1 == a:i2 ? 0 : a:i1 > a:i2 ? 1 : -1
---   endfunc
---   eval mylist->sort("MyCompare")
--- <A shorter compare version for this specific simple case, which
--- ignores overflow: >vim
---   func MyCompare(i1, i2)
---      return a:i1 - a:i2
---   endfunc
--- <For a simple expression you can use a lambda: >vim
---   eval mylist->sort({i1, i2 -> i1 - i2})
--- <
---
--- @generic T
--- @param list T[]
--- @param how? string|function
--- @param dict? any
--- @return T[]
function vim.fn.sort(list, how, dict) end

--- Return the sound-folded equivalent of {word}.  Uses the first
--- language in 'spelllang' for the current window that supports
--- soundfolding.  'spell' must be set.  When no sound folding is
--- possible the {word} is returned unmodified.
--- This can be used for making spelling suggestions.  Note that
--- the method can be quite slow.
---
--- @param word string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.soundfold(word) end

--- Without argument: The result is the badly spelled word under
--- or after the cursor.  The cursor is moved to the start of the
--- bad word.  When no bad word is found in the cursor line the
--- result is an empty string and the cursor doesn't move.
---
--- With argument: The result is the first word in {sentence} that
--- is badly spelled.  If there are no spelling mistakes the
--- result is an empty string.
---
--- The return value is a list with two items:
--- - The badly spelled word or an empty string.
--- - The type of the spelling error:
---   "bad"    spelling mistake
---   "rare"    rare word
---   "local"    word only valid in another region
---   "caps"    word should start with Capital
--- Example: >vim
---   echo spellbadword("the quik brown fox")
--- <  ['quik', 'bad'] ~
---
--- The spelling information for the current window and the value
--- of 'spelllang' are used.
---
--- @param sentence? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.spellbadword(sentence) end

--- Return a |List| with spelling suggestions to replace {word}.
--- When {max} is given up to this number of suggestions are
--- returned.  Otherwise up to 25 suggestions are returned.
---
--- When the {capital} argument is given and it's non-zero only
--- suggestions with a leading capital will be given.  Use this
--- after a match with 'spellcapcheck'.
---
--- {word} can be a badly spelled word followed by other text.
--- This allows for joining two words that were split.  The
--- suggestions also include the following text, thus you can
--- replace a line.
---
--- {word} may also be a good word.  Similar words will then be
--- returned.  {word} itself is not included in the suggestions,
--- although it may appear capitalized.
---
--- The spelling information for the current window is used.  The
--- values of 'spelllang' and 'spellsuggest' are used.
---
--- @param word string
--- @param max? integer
--- @param capital? boolean
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.spellsuggest(word, max, capital) end

--- Make a |List| out of {string}.  When {pattern} is omitted or
--- empty each white space separated sequence of characters
--- becomes an item.
--- Otherwise the string is split where {pattern} matches,
--- removing the matched characters. 'ignorecase' is not used
--- here, add \c to ignore case. |/\c|
--- When the first or last item is empty it is omitted, unless the
--- {keepempty} argument is given and it's non-zero.
--- Other empty items are kept when {pattern} matches at least one
--- character or when {keepempty} is non-zero.
--- Example: >vim
---   let words = split(getline('.'), '\W\+')
--- <To split a string in individual characters: >vim
---   for c in split(mystring, '\zs') | endfor
--- <If you want to keep the separator you can also use '\zs' at
--- the end of the pattern: >vim
---   echo split('abc:def:ghi', ':\zs')
--- < >
---   ['abc:', 'def:', 'ghi']
--- <
--- Splitting a table where the first element can be empty: >vim
---   let items = split(line, ':', 1)
--- <The opposite function is |join()|.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param pattern? string
--- @param keepempty? boolean
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.split(string, pattern, keepempty) end

--- Return the non-negative square root of Float {expr} as a
--- |Float|.
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.  When {expr}
--- is negative the result is NaN (Not a Number).  Returns 0.0 if
--- {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo sqrt(100)
--- <  10.0 >vim
---   echo sqrt(-4.01)
--- <  str2float("nan")
--- NaN may be different, it depends on system libraries.
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return any
function vim.fn.sqrt(expr) end

--- Initialize seed used by |rand()|:
--- - If {expr} is not given, seed values are initialized by
---   reading from /dev/urandom, if possible, or using time(NULL)
---   a.k.a. epoch time otherwise; this only has second accuracy.
--- - If {expr} is given it must be a Number.  It is used to
---   initialize the seed values.  This is useful for testing or
---   when a predictable sequence is intended.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   let seed = srand()
---   let seed = srand(userinput)
---   echo rand(seed)
--- <
---
--- @param expr? number
--- @return any
function vim.fn.srand(expr) end

--- Return a string which contains characters indicating the
--- current state.  Mostly useful in callbacks that want to do
--- work that may not always be safe.  Roughly this works like:
--- - callback uses state() to check if work is safe to do.
---   Yes: then do it right away.
---   No:  add to work queue and add a |SafeState| autocommand.
--- - When SafeState is triggered and executes your autocommand,
---   check with `state()` if the work can be done now, and if yes
---   remove it from the queue and execute.
---   Remove the autocommand if the queue is now empty.
--- Also see |mode()|.
---
--- When {what} is given only characters in this string will be
--- added.  E.g, this checks if the screen has scrolled: >vim
---   if state('s') == ''
---      " screen has not scrolled
--- <
--- These characters indicate the state, generally indicating that
--- something is busy:
---     m  halfway a mapping, :normal command, feedkeys() or
---   stuffed command
---     o  operator pending, e.g. after |d|
---     a  Insert mode autocomplete active
---     x  executing an autocommand
---     S  not triggering SafeState, e.g. after |f| or a count
---     c  callback invoked, including timer (repeats for
---   recursiveness up to "ccc")
---     s  screen has scrolled for messages
---
--- @param what? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.state(what) end

--- With |--headless| this opens stdin and stdout as a |channel|.
--- May be called only once. See |channel-stdio|. stderr is not
--- handled by this function, see |v:stderr|.
---
--- Close the stdio handles with |chanclose()|. Use |chansend()|
--- to send data to stdout, and |rpcrequest()| and |rpcnotify()|
--- to communicate over RPC.
---
--- {opts} is a dictionary with these keys:
---   |on_stdin| : callback invoked when stdin is written to.
---   on_print : callback invoked when Nvim needs to print a
---        message, with the message (whose type is string)
---        as sole argument.
---   stdin_buffered : read stdin in |channel-buffered| mode.
---   rpc      : If set, |msgpack-rpc| will be used to communicate
---        over stdio
--- Returns:
---   - |channel-id| on success (value is always 1)
---   - 0 on invalid arguments
---
--- @param opts table
--- @return any
function vim.fn.stdioopen(opts) end

--- Returns |standard-path| locations of various default files and
--- directories. The locations are driven by |base-directories|
--- which you can configure via |$NVIM_APPNAME| or the `$XDG_…`
--- environment variables.
---
--- {what}       Type    Description ~
--- cache        String  Cache directory: arbitrary temporary
---                      storage for plugins, etc.
--- config       String  User configuration directory. |init.vim|
---                      is stored here.
--- config_dirs  List    Other configuration directories.
--- data         String  User data directory.
--- data_dirs    List    Other data directories.
--- log          String  Logs directory (for use by plugins too).
--- run          String  Run directory: temporary, local storage
---          for sockets, named pipes, etc.
--- state        String  Session state directory: storage for file
---          drafts, swap, undo, |shada|.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   echo stdpath("config")
--- <
---
--- @param what 'cache'|'config'|'config_dirs'|'data'|'data_dirs'|'log'|'run'|'state'
--- @return string|string[]
function vim.fn.stdpath(what) end

--- @param what 'cache'|'config'|'data'|'log'|'run'|'state'
--- @return string
function vim.fn.stdpath(what) end

--- @param what 'config_dirs'|'data_dirs'
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.stdpath(what) end

--- Convert String {string} to a Float.  This mostly works the
--- same as when using a floating point number in an expression,
--- see |floating-point-format|.  But it's a bit more permissive.
--- E.g., "1e40" is accepted, while in an expression you need to
--- write "1.0e40".  The hexadecimal form "0x123" is also
--- accepted, but not others, like binary or octal.
--- When {quoted} is present and non-zero then embedded single
--- quotes before the dot are ignored, thus "1'000.0" is a
--- thousand.
--- Text after the number is silently ignored.
--- The decimal point is always '.', no matter what the locale is
--- set to.  A comma ends the number: "12,345.67" is converted to
--- 12.0.  You can strip out thousands separators with
--- |substitute()|: >vim
---   let f = str2float(substitute(text, ',', '', 'g'))
--- <
--- Returns 0.0 if the conversion fails.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param quoted? boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.str2float(string, quoted) end

--- Return a list containing the number values which represent
--- each character in String {string}.  Examples: >vim
---   echo str2list(" ")    " returns [32]
---   echo str2list("ABC")    " returns [65, 66, 67]
--- <|list2str()| does the opposite.
---
--- UTF-8 encoding is always used, {utf8} option has no effect,
--- and exists only for backwards-compatibility.
--- With UTF-8 composing characters are handled properly: >vim
---   echo str2list("á")    " returns [97, 769]
--- <
---
--- @param string string
--- @param utf8? boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.str2list(string, utf8) end

--- Convert string {string} to a number.
--- {base} is the conversion base, it can be 2, 8, 10 or 16.
--- When {quoted} is present and non-zero then embedded single
--- quotes are ignored, thus "1'000'000" is a million.
---
--- When {base} is omitted base 10 is used.  This also means that
--- a leading zero doesn't cause octal conversion to be used, as
--- with the default String to Number conversion.  Example: >vim
---   let nr = str2nr('0123')
--- <
--- When {base} is 16 a leading "0x" or "0X" is ignored.  With a
--- different base the result will be zero. Similarly, when
--- {base} is 8 a leading "0", "0o" or "0O" is ignored, and when
--- {base} is 2 a leading "0b" or "0B" is ignored.
--- Text after the number is silently ignored.
---
--- Returns 0 if {string} is empty or on error.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param base? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.str2nr(string, base) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of characters
--- in String {string}.  Composing characters are ignored.
--- |strchars()| can count the number of characters, counting
--- composing characters separately.
---
--- Returns 0 if {string} is empty or on error.
---
--- Also see |strlen()|, |strdisplaywidth()| and |strwidth()|.
---
--- @param string string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.strcharlen(string) end

--- Like |strpart()| but using character index and length instead
--- of byte index and length.
--- When {skipcc} is omitted or zero, composing characters are
--- counted separately.
--- When {skipcc} set to 1, composing characters are treated as a
--- part of the preceding base character, similar to |slice()|.
--- When a character index is used where a character does not
--- exist it is omitted and counted as one character.  For
--- example: >vim
---   echo strcharpart('abc', -1, 2)
--- <results in 'a'.
---
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param src string
--- @param start integer
--- @param len? integer
--- @param skipcc? boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.strcharpart(src, start, len, skipcc) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of characters
--- in String {string}.
--- When {skipcc} is omitted or zero, composing characters are
--- counted separately.
--- When {skipcc} set to 1, composing characters are ignored.
--- |strcharlen()| always does this.
---
--- Returns zero on error.
---
--- Also see |strlen()|, |strdisplaywidth()| and |strwidth()|.
---
--- {skipcc} is only available after 7.4.755.  For backward
--- compatibility, you can define a wrapper function: >vim
---     if has("patch-7.4.755")
---       function s:strchars(str, skipcc)
---   return strchars(a:str, a:skipcc)
---       endfunction
---     else
---       function s:strchars(str, skipcc)
---   if a:skipcc
---     return strlen(substitute(a:str, ".", "x", "g"))
---   else
---     return strchars(a:str)
---   endif
---       endfunction
---     endif
--- <
---
--- @param string string
--- @param skipcc? boolean
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strchars(string, skipcc) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of display cells
--- String {string} occupies on the screen when it starts at {col}
--- (first column is zero).  When {col} is omitted zero is used.
--- Otherwise it is the screen column where to start.  This
--- matters for Tab characters.
--- The option settings of the current window are used.  This
--- matters for anything that's displayed differently, such as
--- 'tabstop' and 'display'.
--- When {string} contains characters with East Asian Width Class
--- Ambiguous, this function's return value depends on 'ambiwidth'.
--- Returns zero on error.
--- Also see |strlen()|, |strwidth()| and |strchars()|.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param col? integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(string, col) end

--- The result is a String, which is a formatted date and time, as
--- specified by the {format} string.  The given {time} is used,
--- or the current time if no time is given.  The accepted
--- {format} depends on your system, thus this is not portable!
--- See the manual page of the C function strftime() for the
--- format.  The maximum length of the result is 80 characters.
--- See also |localtime()|, |getftime()| and |strptime()|.
--- The language can be changed with the |:language| command.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo strftime("%c")       " Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997
---   echo strftime("%Y %b %d %X")     " 1997 Apr 27 11:53:25
---   echo strftime("%y%m%d %T")     " 970427 11:53:55
---   echo strftime("%H:%M")       " 11:55
---   echo strftime("%c", getftime("file.c"))

---
--- @param format string

--- Get a Number corresponding to the character at {index} in
--- {str}.  This uses a zero-based character index, not a byte

--- String.
--- Returns -1 if {index} is invalid.
--- Also see |strcharpart()| and |strchars()|.
---
--- @param str string
--- @param index integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strgetchar(str, index) end

--- The result is a Number, which gives the byte index in
--- {haystack} of the first occurrence of the String {needle}.
--- If {start} is specified, the search starts at index {start}.
--- This can be used to find a second match: >vim
---   let colon1 = stridx(line, ":")
---   let colon2 = stridx(line, ":", colon1 + 1)
--- <The search is done case-sensitive.
--- For pattern searches use |match()|.
--- -1 is returned if the {needle} does not occur in {haystack}.
--- See also |strridx()|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo stridx("An Example", "Example")     " 3
---   echo stridx("Starting point", "Start")   " 0
---   echo stridx("Starting point", "start")   " -1
--- <        *strstr()* *strchr()*
--- stridx() works similar to the C function strstr().  When used
--- with a single character it works similar to strchr().
---
--- @param haystack string
--- @param needle string
--- @param start? integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.stridx(haystack, needle, start) end

--- Return {expr} converted to a String.  If {expr} is a Number,

---   List    [item, item]
---   Dictionary  `{key: value, key: value}`
--- Note that in String values the ' character is doubled.
--- Also see |strtrans()|.
--- Note 2: Output format is mostly compatible with YAML, except
--- for infinite and NaN floating-point values representations
--- which use |str2float()|.  Strings are also dumped literally,
--- only single quote is escaped, which does not allow using YAML
--- for parsing back binary strings.  |eval()| should always work

--- separately, thus "1" means one base character and any
--- following composing characters).
--- To count {start} as characters instead of bytes use
--- |strcharpart()|.
---
--- When bytes are selected which do not exist, this doesn't
--- result in an error, the bytes are simply omitted.
--- If {len} is missing, the copy continues from {start} till the
--- end of the {src}. >vim
---   echo strpart("abcdefg", 3, 2)    " returns 'de'
---   echo strpart("abcdefg", -2, 4)   " returns 'ab'
---   echo strpart("abcdefg", 5, 4)    " returns 'fg'
---   echo strpart("abcdefg", 3)   " returns 'defg'
---
--- <Note: To get the first character, {start} must be 0.  For
--- example, to get the character under the cursor: >vim
---   strpart(getline("."), col(".") - 1, 1, v:true)
--- <
--- Returns an empty string on error.

--- @param src string
--- @param start integer
--- @param len? integer
--- @param chars? 0|1
--- @return string
function vim.fn.strpart(src, start, len, chars) end

--- The result is a Number, which is a unix timestamp representing
--- the date and time in {timestring}, which is expected to match
--- the format specified in {format}.
---
--- The accepted {format} depends on your system, thus this is not
--- portable!  See the manual page of the C function strptime()
--- for the format.  Especially avoid "%c".  The value of $TZ also
--- matters.
---
--- If the {timestring} cannot be parsed with {format} zero is
--- returned.  If you do not know the format of {timestring} you
--- can try different {format} values until you get a non-zero
--- result.
---
--- See also |strftime()|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo strptime("%Y %b %d %X", "1997 Apr 27 11:49:23")
--- <  862156163 >vim
---   echo strftime("%c", strptime("%y%m%d %T", "970427 11:53:55"))
--- <  Sun Apr 27 11:53:55 1997 >vim
---   echo strftime("%c", strptime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S", "19970427115355") + 3600)
--- <  Sun Apr 27 12:53:55 1997
---
--- @param format string
--- @param timestring string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strptime(format, timestring) end

--- The result is a Number, which gives the byte index in
--- {haystack} of the last occurrence of the String {needle}.
--- When {start} is specified, matches beyond this index are
--- ignored.  This can be used to find a match before a previous
--- match: >vim
---   let lastcomma = strridx(line, ",")
---   let comma2 = strridx(line, ",", lastcomma - 1)
--- <The search is done case-sensitive.
--- For pattern searches use |match()|.
--- -1 is returned if the {needle} does not occur in {haystack}.
--- If the {needle} is empty the length of {haystack} is returned.
--- See also |stridx()|.  Examples: >vim
---   echo strridx("an angry armadillo", "an")       3
--- <          *strrchr()*
--- When used with a single character it works similar to the C
--- function strrchr().
---
--- @param haystack string
--- @param needle string
--- @param start? integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strridx(haystack, needle, start) end

--- The result is a String, which is {string} with all unprintable
--- characters translated into printable characters |'isprint'|.
--- Like they are shown in a window.  Example: >vim
---   echo strtrans(\@a)
--- <This displays a newline in register a as "^\@" instead of
--- starting a new line.
---
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param string string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.strtrans(string) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of UTF-16 code
--- units in String {string} (after converting it to UTF-16).
---
--- When {countcc} is TRUE, composing characters are counted
--- separately.
--- When {countcc} is omitted or FALSE, composing characters are
--- ignored.
---
--- Returns zero on error.
---
--- Also see |strlen()| and |strcharlen()|.
--- Examples: >vim
---     echo strutf16len('a')    " returns 1
---     echo strutf16len('©')    " returns 1
---     echo strutf16len('😊')    " returns 2
---     echo strutf16len('ą́')    " returns 1
---     echo strutf16len('ą́', v:true)  " returns 3
--- <
---
--- @param string string
--- @param countcc? 0|1
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strutf16len(string, countcc) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of display cells
--- String {string} occupies.  A Tab character is counted as one
--- cell, alternatively use |strdisplaywidth()|.
--- When {string} contains characters with East Asian Width Class
--- Ambiguous, this function's return value depends on 'ambiwidth'.
--- Returns zero on error.
--- Also see |strlen()|, |strdisplaywidth()| and |strchars()|.
---
--- @param string string
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.strwidth(string) end

--- Only for an expression in a |:substitute| command or
--- substitute() function.
--- Returns the {nr}th submatch of the matched text.  When {nr}
--- is 0 the whole matched text is returned.
--- Note that a NL in the string can stand for a line break of a
--- multi-line match or a NUL character in the text.
--- Also see |sub-replace-expression|.
---
--- If {list} is present and non-zero then submatch() returns
--- a list of strings, similar to |getline()| with two arguments.
--- NL characters in the text represent NUL characters in the
--- text.
--- Only returns more than one item for |:substitute|, inside
--- |substitute()| this list will always contain one or zero
--- items, since there are no real line breaks.
---
--- When substitute() is used recursively only the submatches in
--- the current (deepest) call can be obtained.
---
--- Returns an empty string or list on error.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   s/\d\+/\=submatch(0) + 1/
---   echo substitute(text, '\d\+', '\=submatch(0) + 1', '')
--- <This finds the first number in the line and adds one to it.
--- A line break is included as a newline character.
---
--- @param nr integer
--- @param list? nil
--- @return string
function vim.fn.submatch(nr, list) end

--- @param nr integer
--- @param list integer
--- @return string|string[]
function vim.fn.submatch(nr, list) end

--- The result is a String, which is a copy of {string}, in which
--- the first match of {pat} is replaced with {sub}.
--- When {flags} is "g", all matches of {pat} in {string} are
--- replaced.  Otherwise {flags} should be "".
---
--- This works like the ":substitute" command (without any flags).
--- But the matching with {pat} is always done like the 'magic'
--- option is set and 'cpoptions' is empty (to make scripts
--- portable).  'ignorecase' is still relevant, use |/\c| or |/\C|
--- if you want to ignore or match case and ignore 'ignorecase'.
--- 'smartcase' is not used.  See |string-match| for how {pat} is
--- used.
---
--- A "~" in {sub} is not replaced with the previous {sub}.
--- Note that some codes in {sub} have a special meaning
--- |sub-replace-special|.  For example, to replace something with
--- "\n" (two characters), use "\\\\n" or '\\n'.
---
--- When {pat} does not match in {string}, {string} is returned
--- unmodified.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   let &path = substitute(&path, ",\\=[^,]*$", "", "")
--- <This removes the last component of the 'path' option. >vim
---   echo substitute("testing", ".*", "\\U\\0", "")
--- <results in "TESTING".
---
--- When {sub} starts with "\=", the remainder is interpreted as
--- an expression. See |sub-replace-expression|.  Example: >vim
---   echo substitute(s, '%\(\x\x\)',
---      \ '\=nr2char("0x" .. submatch(1))', 'g')
---
--- <When {sub} is a Funcref that function is called, with one
--- optional argument.  Example: >vim
---    echo substitute(s, '%\(\x\x\)', SubNr, 'g')
--- <The optional argument is a list which contains the whole
--- matched string and up to nine submatches, like what
--- |submatch()| returns.  Example: >vim
---    echo substitute(s, '%\(\x\x\)', {m -> '0x' .. m[1]}, 'g')
---
--- <Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param string string
--- @param pat string
--- @param sub string
--- @param flags string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.substitute(string, pat, sub, flags) end

--- Returns a list of swap file names, like what "vim -r" shows.
--- See the |-r| command argument.  The 'directory' option is used
--- for the directories to inspect.  If you only want to get a
--- list of swap files in the current directory then temporarily
--- set 'directory' to a dot: >vim
---   let save_dir = &directory
---   let &directory = '.'
---   let swapfiles = swapfilelist()
---   let &directory = save_dir
---
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.swapfilelist() end

--- The result is a dictionary, which holds information about the
--- swapfile {fname}. The available fields are:
---   version Vim version
---   user  user name
---   host  host name
---   fname  original file name
---   pid  PID of the Nvim process that created the swap
---     file, or zero if not running.
---   mtime  last modification time in seconds
---   inode  Optional: INODE number of the file
---   dirty  1 if file was modified, 0 if not
--- In case of failure an "error" item is added with the reason:
---   Cannot open file: file not found or in accessible
---   Cannot read file: cannot read first block
---   Not a swap file: does not contain correct block ID
---   Magic number mismatch: Info in first block is invalid
---
--- @param fname string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.swapinfo(fname) end

--- The result is the swap file path of the buffer {buf}.
--- For the use of {buf}, see |bufname()| above.
--- If buffer {buf} is the current buffer, the result is equal to
--- |:swapname| (unless there is no swap file).
--- If buffer {buf} has no swap file, returns an empty string.
---
--- @param buf integer|string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.swapname(buf) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the syntax ID at the position
--- {lnum} and {col} in the current window.
--- The syntax ID can be used with |synIDattr()| and
--- |synIDtrans()| to obtain syntax information about text.
---
--- {col} is 1 for the leftmost column, {lnum} is 1 for the first
--- line.  'synmaxcol' applies, in a longer line zero is returned.
--- Note that when the position is after the last character,
--- that's where the cursor can be in Insert mode, synID() returns
--- zero.  {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.
---
--- When {trans} is |TRUE|, transparent items are reduced to the
--- item that they reveal.  This is useful when wanting to know
--- the effective color.  When {trans} is |FALSE|, the transparent
--- item is returned.  This is useful when wanting to know which
--- syntax item is effective (e.g. inside parens).
--- Warning: This function can be very slow.  Best speed is
--- obtained by going through the file in forward direction.
---
--- Returns zero on error.
---
--- Example (echoes the name of the syntax item under the cursor): >vim
---   echo synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 1), "name")
--- <
---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @param col integer
--- @param trans 0|1
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.synID(lnum, col, trans) end

--- The result is a String, which is the {what} attribute of
--- syntax ID {synID}.  This can be used to obtain information
--- about a syntax item.
--- {mode} can be "gui" or "cterm", to get the attributes
--- for that mode.  When {mode} is omitted, or an invalid value is
--- used, the attributes for the currently active highlighting are
--- used (GUI or cterm).
--- Use synIDtrans() to follow linked highlight groups.
--- {what}    result
--- "name"    the name of the syntax item
--- "fg"    foreground color (GUI: color name used to set
---     the color, cterm: color number as a string,
---     term: empty string)
--- "bg"    background color (as with "fg")
--- "font"    font name (only available in the GUI)
---     |highlight-font|
--- "sp"    special color (as with "fg") |guisp|
--- "fg#"    like "fg", but for the GUI and the GUI is
---     running the name in "#RRGGBB" form
--- "bg#"    like "fg#" for "bg"
--- "sp#"    like "fg#" for "sp"
--- "bold"    "1" if bold
--- "italic"  "1" if italic
--- "reverse"  "1" if reverse
--- "inverse"  "1" if inverse (= reverse)
--- "standout"  "1" if standout
--- "underline"  "1" if underlined
--- "undercurl"  "1" if undercurled
--- "underdouble"  "1" if double underlined
--- "underdotted"  "1" if dotted underlined
--- "underdashed"  "1" if dashed underlined
--- "strikethrough"  "1" if struckthrough
--- "altfont"  "1" if alternative font
--- "nocombine"  "1" if nocombine
---
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- Example (echoes the color of the syntax item under the
--- cursor): >vim
---   echo synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."), col("."), 1)), "fg")
--- <
--- Can also be used as a |method|: >vim
---   echo synID(line("."), col("."), 1)->synIDtrans()->synIDattr("fg")
--- <
---
--- @param synID integer
--- @param what string
--- @param mode? string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.synIDattr(synID, what, mode) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the translated syntax ID of
--- {synID}.  This is the syntax group ID of what is being used to
--- highlight the character.  Highlight links given with
--- ":highlight link" are followed.
---
--- Returns zero on error.
---
--- @param synID integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.synIDtrans(synID) end

--- The result is a |List| with currently three items:
--- 1. The first item in the list is 0 if the character at the
---    position {lnum} and {col} is not part of a concealable
---    region, 1 if it is.  {lnum} is used like with |getline()|.
--- 2. The second item in the list is a string. If the first item
---    is 1, the second item contains the text which will be
---    displayed in place of the concealed text, depending on the
---    current setting of 'conceallevel' and 'listchars'.
--- 3. The third and final item in the list is a number
---    representing the specific syntax region matched in the
---    line. When the character is not concealed the value is
---    zero. This allows detection of the beginning of a new
---    concealable region if there are two consecutive regions
---    with the same replacement character.  For an example, if
---    the text is "123456" and both "23" and "45" are concealed
---    and replaced by the character "X", then:
---   call      returns ~
---   synconcealed(lnum, 1)   [0, '', 0]
---   synconcealed(lnum, 2)   [1, 'X', 1]
---   synconcealed(lnum, 3)   [1, 'X', 1]
---   synconcealed(lnum, 4)   [1, 'X', 2]
---   synconcealed(lnum, 5)   [1, 'X', 2]
---   synconcealed(lnum, 6)   [0, '', 0]
---
--- Note: Doesn't consider |matchadd()| highlighting items,
--- since syntax and matching highlighting are two different
--- mechanisms |syntax-vs-match|.
---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @param col integer
--- @return [integer, string, integer]
function vim.fn.synconcealed(lnum, col) end

--- Return a |List|, which is the stack of syntax items at the
--- position {lnum} and {col} in the current window.  {lnum} is
--- used like with |getline()|.  Each item in the List is an ID
--- like what |synID()| returns.
--- The first item in the List is the outer region, following are
--- items contained in that one.  The last one is what |synID()|
--- returns, unless not the whole item is highlighted or it is a
--- transparent item.
--- This function is useful for debugging a syntax file.
--- Example that shows the syntax stack under the cursor: >vim
---   for id in synstack(line("."), col("."))
---      echo synIDattr(id, "name")
---   endfor
--- <When the position specified with {lnum} and {col} is invalid
--- an empty list is returned.  The position just after the last
--- character in a line and the first column in an empty line are
--- valid positions.
---
--- @param lnum integer|string
--- @param col integer
--- @return integer[]
function vim.fn.synstack(lnum, col) end

--- Note: Prefer |vim.system()| in Lua.
---
--- Gets the output of {cmd} as a |string| (|systemlist()| returns
--- a |List|) and sets |v:shell_error| to the error code.
--- {cmd} is treated as in |jobstart()|:
--- If {cmd} is a List it runs directly (no 'shell').
--- If {cmd} is a String it runs in the 'shell', like this: >vim
---   call jobstart(split(&shell) + split(&shellcmdflag) + ['{cmd}'])
---
--- <Not to be used for interactive commands.
---
--- Result is a String, filtered to avoid platform-specific quirks:
--- - <CR><NL> is replaced with <NL>
--- - NUL characters are replaced with SOH (0x01)
---
--- Example: >vim
---     echo system(['ls', expand('%:h')])
---
--- <If {input} is a string it is written to a pipe and passed as
--- stdin to the command.  The string is written as-is, line
--- separators are not changed.
--- If {input} is a |List| it is written to the pipe as
--- |writefile()| does with {binary} set to "b" (i.e. with
--- a newline between each list item, and newlines inside list
--- items converted to NULs).
--- When {input} is given and is a valid buffer id, the content of
--- the buffer is written to the file line by line, each line
--- terminated by NL (and NUL where the text has NL).
---             *E5677*
--- Note: system() cannot write to or read from backgrounded ("&")
--- shell commands, e.g.: >vim
---     echo system("cat - &", "foo")
--- <which is equivalent to: >
---     $ echo foo | bash -c 'cat - &'
--- <The pipes are disconnected (unless overridden by shell
--- redirection syntax) before input can reach it. Use
--- |jobstart()| instead.
---
--- Note: Use |shellescape()| or |::S| with |expand()| or
--- |fnamemodify()| to escape special characters in a command
--- argument. 'shellquote' and 'shellxquote' must be properly
--- configured. Example: >vim
---     echo system('ls '..shellescape(expand('%:h')))
---     echo system('ls '..expand('%:h:S'))
---
--- <Unlike ":!cmd" there is no automatic check for changed files.
--- Use |:checktime| to force a check.
---
--- @param cmd string|string[]
--- @param input? string|string[]|integer
--- @return string
function vim.fn.system(cmd, input) end

--- Same as |system()|, but returns a |List| with lines (parts of
--- output separated by NL) with NULs transformed into NLs. Output
--- is the same as |readfile()| will output with {binary} argument
--- set to "b", except that a final newline is not preserved,
--- unless {keepempty} is non-zero.
--- Note that on MS-Windows you may get trailing CR characters.
---
--- To see the difference between "echo hello" and "echo -n hello"
--- use |system()| and |split()|: >vim
---   echo split(system('echo hello'), '\n', 1)
--- <
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param cmd string|string[]
--- @param input? string|string[]|integer
--- @param keepempty? integer
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.systemlist(cmd, input, keepempty) end

--- The result is a |List|, where each item is the number of the
--- buffer associated with each window in the current tab page.
--- {arg} specifies the number of the tab page to be used. When
--- omitted the current tab page is used.
--- When {arg} is invalid the number zero is returned.
--- To get a list of all buffers in all tabs use this: >vim
---   let buflist = []
---   for i in range(tabpagenr('$'))
---      call extend(buflist, tabpagebuflist(i + 1))
---   endfor
--- <Note that a buffer may appear in more than one window.
---
--- @param arg? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.tabpagebuflist(arg) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of the current
--- tab page.  The first tab page has number 1.
---
--- The optional argument {arg} supports the following values:
---   $  the number of the last tab page (the tab page
---     count).
---   #  the number of the last accessed tab page
---     (where |g<Tab>| goes to).  If there is no
---     previous tab page, 0 is returned.
--- The number can be used with the |:tab| command.
---
--- Returns zero on error.
---
--- @param arg? '$'|'#'
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.tabpagenr(arg) end

--- Like |winnr()| but for tab page {tabarg}.
--- {tabarg} specifies the number of tab page to be used.
--- {arg} is used like with |winnr()|:
--- - When omitted the current window number is returned.  This is
---   the window which will be used when going to this tab page.
--- - When "$" the number of windows is returned.
--- - When "#" the previous window nr is returned.
--- Useful examples: >vim
---     tabpagewinnr(1)      " current window of tab page 1
---     tabpagewinnr(4, '$')    " number of windows in tab page 4
--- <When {tabarg} is invalid zero is returned.
---
--- @param tabarg integer
--- @param arg? '$'|'#'
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.tabpagewinnr(tabarg, arg) end

--- Returns a |List| with the file names used to search for tags
--- for the current buffer.  This is the 'tags' option expanded.
---
--- @return string[]
function vim.fn.tagfiles() end

--- Returns a |List| of tags matching the regular expression {expr}.
---
--- If {filename} is passed it is used to prioritize the results
--- in the same way that |:tselect| does. See |tag-priority|.
--- {filename} should be the full path of the file.
---
--- Each list item is a dictionary with at least the following
--- entries:
---   name    Name of the tag.
---   filename  Name of the file where the tag is
---       defined.  It is either relative to the
---       current directory or a full path.
---   cmd    Ex command used to locate the tag in
---       the file.
---   kind    Type of the tag.  The value for this
---       entry depends on the language specific
---       kind values.  Only available when
---       using a tags file generated by
---       Universal/Exuberant ctags or hdrtag.
---   static    A file specific tag.  Refer to
---       |static-tag| for more information.
--- More entries may be present, depending on the content of the
--- tags file: access, implementation, inherits and signature.
--- Refer to the ctags documentation for information about these
--- fields.  For C code the fields "struct", "class" and "enum"
--- may appear, they give the name of the entity the tag is
--- contained in.
---
--- The ex-command "cmd" can be either an ex search pattern, a
--- line number or a line number followed by a byte number.
---
--- If there are no matching tags, then an empty list is returned.
---
--- To get an exact tag match, the anchors '^' and '$' should be
--- used in {expr}.  This also make the function work faster.
--- Refer to |tag-regexp| for more information about the tag
--- search regular expression pattern.
---
--- Refer to |'tags'| for information about how the tags file is
--- located by Vim. Refer to |tags-file-format| for the format of
--- the tags file generated by the different ctags tools.
---
--- @param expr any
--- @param filename? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.taglist(expr, filename) end

--- Return the tangent of {expr}, measured in radians, as a |Float|
--- in the range [-inf, inf].
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo tan(10)
--- <  0.648361 >vim
---   echo tan(-4.01)
--- <  -1.181502
---
--- @param expr number

--- Return the hyperbolic tangent of {expr} as a |Float| in the
--- range [-1, 1].
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo tanh(0.5)
--- <  0.462117 >vim
---   echo tanh(-1)
--- <  -0.761594
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return number
function vim.fn.tanh(expr) end

--- Generates a (non-existent) filename located in the Nvim root
--- |tempdir|. Scripts can use the filename as a temporary file.
--- Example: >vim
---   let tmpfile = tempname()
---   exe "redir > " .. tmpfile
--- <
---
--- @return string
function vim.fn.tempname() end

--- @deprecated
--- Use |jobstart()| with `{term: v:true}` instead.
---
--- @param cmd string|string[]
--- @param opts? table
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.termopen(cmd, opts) end

--- Return a list with information about timers.
--- When {id} is given only information about this timer is
--- returned.  When timer {id} does not exist an empty list is
--- returned.
--- When {id} is omitted information about all timers is returned.
---
--- For each timer the information is stored in a |Dictionary| with
--- these items:
---     "id"      the timer ID
---     "time"      time the timer was started with
---     "repeat"      number of times the timer will still fire;
---         -1 means forever

---
--- @param id? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.timer_info(id) end

--- Pause or unpause a timer.  A paused timer does not invoke its
--- callback when its time expires.  Unpausing a timer may cause
--- the callback to be invoked almost immediately if enough time
--- has passed.
---
--- Pausing a timer is useful to avoid the callback to be called
--- for a short time.
---
--- If {paused} evaluates to a non-zero Number or a non-empty
--- String, then the timer is paused, otherwise it is unpaused.
--- See |non-zero-arg|.
---
--- @param timer integer
--- @param paused boolean
--- @return any
function vim.fn.timer_pause(timer, paused) end

--- Create a timer and return the timer ID.
---
--- {time} is the waiting time in milliseconds. This is the
--- minimum time before invoking the callback.  When the system is
--- busy or Vim is not waiting for input the time will be longer.
--- Zero can be used to execute the callback when Vim is back in
--- the main loop.
---
--- {callback} is the function to call.  It can be the name of a
--- function or a |Funcref|.  It is called with one argument, which
--- is the timer ID.  The callback is only invoked when Vim is
--- waiting for input.
---
--- {options} is a dictionary.  Supported entries:
---    "repeat"  Number of times to repeat the callback.
---     -1 means forever.  Default is 1.
---     If the timer causes an error three times in a
---     row the repeat is cancelled.
---
--- Returns -1 on error.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   func MyHandler(timer)
---     echo 'Handler called'
---   endfunc
---   let timer = timer_start(500, 'MyHandler',
---     \ {'repeat': 3})
--- <This invokes MyHandler() three times at 500 msec intervals.
---
--- @param time number
--- @param callback string|function
--- @param options? table
--- @return any
function vim.fn.timer_start(time, callback, options) end

--- Stop a timer.  The timer callback will no longer be invoked.
--- {timer} is an ID returned by timer_start(), thus it must be a
--- Number.  If {timer} does not exist there is no error.
---
--- @param timer integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.timer_stop(timer) end

--- Stop all timers.  The timer callbacks will no longer be
--- invoked.  Useful if some timers is misbehaving.  If there are
--- no timers there is no error.
---
--- @return any
function vim.fn.timer_stopall() end

--- The result is a copy of the String given, with all uppercase
--- characters turned into lowercase (just like applying |gu| to
--- the string).  Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.tolower(expr) end

--- The result is a copy of the String given, with all lowercase
--- characters turned into uppercase (just like applying |gU| to
--- the string).  Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- @param expr string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.toupper(expr) end

--- The result is a copy of the {src} string with all characters
--- which appear in {fromstr} replaced by the character in that
--- position in the {tostr} string.  Thus the first character in
--- {fromstr} is translated into the first character in {tostr}
--- and so on.  Exactly like the unix "tr" command.
--- This code also deals with multibyte characters properly.
---
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo tr("hello there", "ht", "HT")
--- <returns "Hello THere" >vim
---   echo tr("<blob>", "<>", "{}")
--- <returns "{blob}"
---
--- @param src string
--- @param fromstr string
--- @param tostr string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.tr(src, fromstr, tostr) end

--- Return {text} as a String where any character in {mask} is
--- removed from the beginning and/or end of {text}.
---
--- If {mask} is not given, or is an empty string, {mask} is all
--- characters up to 0x20, which includes Tab, space, NL and CR,
--- plus the non-breaking space character 0xa0.
---
--- The optional {dir} argument specifies where to remove the
--- characters:
---   0  remove from the beginning and end of {text}
---   1  remove only at the beginning of {text}
---   2  remove only at the end of {text}
--- When omitted both ends are trimmed.
---
--- This function deals with multibyte characters properly.
--- Returns an empty string on error.
---
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo trim("   some text ")
--- <returns "some text" >vim
---   echo trim("  \r\t\t\r RESERVE \t\n\x0B\xA0") .. "_TAIL"
--- <returns "RESERVE_TAIL" >vim
---   echo trim("rm<Xrm<>X>rrm", "rm<>")
--- <returns "Xrm<>X" (characters in the middle are not removed) >vim
---   echo trim("  vim  ", " ", 2)
--- <returns "  vim"
---
--- @param text string
--- @param mask? string
--- @param dir? 0|1|2
--- @return string
function vim.fn.trim(text, mask, dir) end

--- Return the largest integral value with magnitude less than or
--- equal to {expr} as a |Float| (truncate towards zero).
--- {expr} must evaluate to a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Returns 0.0 if {expr} is not a |Float| or a |Number|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   echo trunc(1.456)
--- <  1.0  >vim
---   echo trunc(-5.456)
--- <  -5.0  >vim
---   echo trunc(4.0)
--- <  4.0
---
--- @param expr number
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.trunc(expr) end

--- The result is a Number representing the type of {expr}.
--- Instead of using the number directly, it is better to use the
--- v:t_ variable that has the value:
---   Number:      0  |v:t_number|
---   String:      1  |v:t_string|
---   Funcref:    2  |v:t_func|
---   List:      3  |v:t_list|
---   Dictionary: 4  |v:t_dict|
---   Float:      5  |v:t_float|
---   Boolean:    6  |v:t_bool| (|v:false| and |v:true|)
---   Null:      7  (|v:null|)
---   Blob:     10  |v:t_blob|
--- For backward compatibility, this method can be used: >vim
---   if type(myvar) == type(0) | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type("") | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type(function("tr")) | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type([]) | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type({}) | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type(0.0) | endif
---   if type(myvar) == type(v:true) | endif
--- <In place of checking for |v:null| type it is better to check
--- for |v:null| directly as it is the only value of this type: >vim
---   if myvar is v:null | endif
--- <To check if the v:t_ variables exist use this: >vim
---   if exists('v:t_number') | endif

--- Return the name of the undo file that would be used for a file
--- with name {name} when writing.  This uses the 'undodir'
--- option, finding directories that exist.  It does not check if
--- the undo file exists.
--- {name} is always expanded to the full path, since that is what
--- is used internally.
--- If {name} is empty undofile() returns an empty string, since a

--- Useful in combination with |:wundo| and |:rundo|.
---
--- @param name string
--- @return string
function vim.fn.undofile(name) end

--- Return the current state of the undo tree for the current
--- buffer, or for a specific buffer if {buf} is given.  The
--- result is a dictionary with the following items:
---   "seq_last"  The highest undo sequence number used.
---   "seq_cur"  The sequence number of the current position in
---     the undo tree.  This differs from "seq_last"
---     when some changes were undone.
---   "time_cur"  Time last used for |:earlier| and related
---     commands.  Use |strftime()| to convert to
---     something readable.
---   "save_last"  Number of the last file write.  Zero when no
---     write yet.
---   "save_cur"  Number of the current position in the undo
---     tree.
---   "synced"  Non-zero when the last undo block was synced.
---     This happens when waiting from input from the
---     user.  See |undo-blocks|.
---   "entries"  A list of dictionaries with information about
---     undo blocks.
---
--- The first item in the "entries" list is the oldest undo item.
--- Each List item is a |Dictionary| with these items:
---   "seq"    Undo sequence number.  Same as what appears in
---     |:undolist|.
---   "time"  Timestamp when the change happened.  Use
---     |strftime()| to convert to something readable.
---   "newhead"  Only appears in the item that is the last one
---     that was added.  This marks the last change
---     and where further changes will be added.
---   "curhead"  Only appears in the item that is the last one
---     that was undone.  This marks the current
---     position in the undo tree, the block that will
---     be used by a redo command.  When nothing was
---     undone after the last change this item will
---     not appear anywhere.
---   "save"  Only appears on the last block before a file
---     write.  The number is the write count.  The
---     first write has number 1, the last one the
---     "save_last" mentioned above.
---   "alt"    Alternate entry.  This is again a List of undo
---     blocks.  Each item may again have an "alt"
---     item.

function vim.fn.uniq(list, func, dict) end

--- Same as |charidx()| but returns the UTF-16 code unit index of
--- the byte at {idx} in {string} (after converting it to UTF-16).
---
--- When {charidx} is present and TRUE, {idx} is used as the
--- character index in the String {string} instead of as the byte
--- index.
--- An {idx} in the middle of a UTF-8 sequence is rounded
--- downwards to the beginning of that sequence.
---
--- Returns -1 if the arguments are invalid or if there are less
--- than {idx} bytes in {string}. If there are exactly {idx} bytes
--- the length of the string in UTF-16 code units is returned.
---
--- See |byteidx()| and |byteidxcomp()| for getting the byte index
--- from the UTF-16 index and |charidx()| for getting the
--- character index from the UTF-16 index.
--- Refer to |string-offset-encoding| for more information.
--- Examples: >vim

--- Returns zero if {dict} is not a |Dict|.
---
--- @param dict any
--- @return any
function vim.fn.values(dict) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the screen column of the file
--- position given with {expr}.  That is, the last screen position
--- occupied by the character at that position, when the screen
--- would be of unlimited width.  When there is a <Tab> at the
--- position, the returned Number will be the column at the end of
--- the <Tab>.  For example, for a <Tab> in column 1, with 'ts'
--- set to 8, it returns 8. |conceal| is ignored.
--- For the byte position use |col()|.
---
--- For the use of {expr} see |getpos()| and |col()|.
--- When {expr} is "$", it means the end of the cursor line, so
--- the result is the number of cells in the cursor line plus one.
---
--- When 'virtualedit' is used {expr} can be [lnum, col, off],
--- where "off" is the offset in screen columns from the start of
--- the character.  E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the
--- last character.  When "off" is omitted zero is used.  When
--- Virtual editing is active in the current mode, a position
--- beyond the end of the line can be returned.  Also see
--- |'virtualedit'|
---
--- If {list} is present and non-zero then virtcol() returns a
--- List with the first and last screen position occupied by the
--- character.
---
--- With the optional {winid} argument the values are obtained for
--- that window instead of the current window.
---
--- Note that only marks in the current file can be used.
--- Examples: >vim
---   " With text "foo^Lbar" and cursor on the "^L":
---
---   echo virtcol(".")  " returns 5
---   echo virtcol(".", 1)  " returns [4, 5]
---   echo virtcol("$")  " returns 9
---
---   " With text "    there", with 't at 'h':
---
---   echo virtcol("'t")  " returns 6
--- <
--- The first column is 1.  0 or [0, 0] is returned for an error.
---
--- A more advanced example that echoes the maximum length of
--- all lines: >vim
---     echo max(map(range(1, line('$')), "virtcol([v:val, '$'])"))
--- <
---
--- @param expr string|any[]
--- @param list? boolean
--- @param winid? integer
--- @return any
function vim.fn.virtcol(expr, list, winid) end

--- The result is a Number, which is the byte index of the
--- character in window {winid} at buffer line {lnum} and virtual
--- column {col}.
---
--- If buffer line {lnum} is an empty line, 0 is returned.
---
--- If {col} is greater than the last virtual column in line
--- {lnum}, then the byte index of the character at the last
--- virtual column is returned.
---
--- For a multi-byte character, the column number of the first
--- byte in the character is returned.
---
--- The {winid} argument can be the window number or the
--- |window-ID|. If this is zero, then the current window is used.
---
--- Returns -1 if the window {winid} doesn't exist or the buffer
--- line {lnum} or virtual column {col} is invalid.

--- string, but once Visual mode has been used, it returns "v",
--- "V", or "<CTRL-V>" (a single CTRL-V character) for
--- character-wise, line-wise, or block-wise Visual mode
--- respectively.
--- Example: >vim
---   exe "normal " .. visualmode()
--- <This enters the same Visual mode as before.  It is also useful
--- in scripts if you wish to act differently depending on the
--- Visual mode that was used.
--- If Visual mode is active, use |mode()| to get the Visual mode
--- (e.g., in a |:vmap|).
--- If {expr} is supplied and it evaluates to a non-zero Number or

---   -3 if an error occurred
---
--- @param timeout integer

--- Returns |TRUE| when the wildmenu is active and |FALSE|
--- otherwise.  See 'wildmenu' and 'wildmode'.
--- This can be used in mappings to handle the 'wildcharm' option
--- gracefully. (Makes only sense with |mapmode-c| mappings).
---
--- For example to make <c-j> work like <down> in wildmode, use: >vim

--- in the window.  This is counting screen lines from the top of
--- the window.  The first line is one.
--- If the cursor was moved the view on the file will be updated
--- first, this may cause a scroll.
---
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.winline() end

--- The result is a Number, which is the number of the current
--- window.  The top window has number 1.
--- Returns zero for a popup window.
---
--- The optional argument {arg} supports the following values:
---   $  the number of the last window (the window
---     count).
---   #  the number of the last accessed window (where
---     |CTRL-W_p| goes to).  If there is no previous
---     window or it is in another tab page 0 is
---     returned.  May refer to the current window in
---     some cases (e.g. when evaluating 'statusline'
---     expressions).
---   {N}j  the number of the Nth window below the
---     current window (where |CTRL-W_j| goes to).
---   {N}k  the number of the Nth window above the current
---     window (where |CTRL-W_k| goes to).
---   {N}h  the number of the Nth window left of the
---     current window (where |CTRL-W_h| goes to).
---   {N}l  the number of the Nth window right of the
---     current window (where |CTRL-W_l| goes to).
--- The number can be used with |CTRL-W_w| and ":wincmd w"
--- |:wincmd|.
--- When {arg} is invalid an error is given and zero is returned.
--- Also see |tabpagewinnr()| and |win_getid()|.
--- Examples: >vim
---   let window_count = winnr('$')
---   let prev_window = winnr('#')
---   let wnum = winnr('3k')
--- <
---
--- @param arg? string|integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.winnr(arg) end

--- Returns a sequence of |:resize| commands that should restore
--- the current window sizes.  Only works properly when no windows
--- are opened or closed and the current window and tab page is
--- unchanged.
--- Example: >vim
---   let cmd = winrestcmd()
---   call MessWithWindowSizes()
---   exe cmd
--- <
---
--- @return string
function vim.fn.winrestcmd() end

--- Uses the |Dictionary| returned by |winsaveview()| to restore
--- the view of the current window.
--- Note: The {dict} does not have to contain all values, that are
--- returned by |winsaveview()|. If values are missing, those
--- settings won't be restored. So you can use: >vim
---     call winrestview({'curswant': 4})
--- <
--- This will only set the curswant value (the column the cursor
--- wants to move on vertical movements) of the cursor to column 5
--- (yes, that is 5), while all other settings will remain the
--- same. This is useful, if you set the cursor position manually.
---
--- If you have changed the values the result is unpredictable.
--- If the window size changed the result won't be the same.
---
--- @param dict vim.fn.winrestview.dict
--- @return any
function vim.fn.winrestview(dict) end

--- Returns a |Dictionary| that contains information to restore
--- the view of the current window.  Use |winrestview()| to
--- restore the view.
--- This is useful if you have a mapping that jumps around in the
--- buffer and you want to go back to the original view.
--- This does not save fold information.  Use the 'foldenable'
--- option to temporarily switch off folding, so that folds are
--- not opened when moving around. This may have side effects.
--- The return value includes:
---   lnum    cursor line number
---   col    cursor column (Note: the first column
---       zero, as opposed to what |getcurpos()|
---       returns)
---   coladd    cursor column offset for 'virtualedit'
---   curswant  column for vertical movement (Note:
---       the first column is zero, as opposed
---       to what |getcurpos()| returns).  After
---       |$| command it will be a very large
---       number equal to |v:maxcol|.
---   topline    first line in the window
---   topfill    filler lines, only in diff mode
---   leftcol    first column displayed; only used when
---       'wrap' is off
---   skipcol    columns skipped
--- Note that no option values are saved.
---
--- @return vim.fn.winsaveview.ret
function vim.fn.winsaveview() end

--- Gets the width of |window-ID| {nr} (zero for "current
--- window"), including columns (|sign-column|, 'statuscolumn',
--- etc.). Returns -1 if window {nr} doesn't exist. An existing
--- window always has a width of zero or more.
---
--- Example: >vim
---   echo "Current window has " .. winwidth(0) .. " columns."
---   if winwidth(0) <= 50
---     50 wincmd |
---   endif
--- <
--- To get the buffer "viewport", use |getwininfo()|: >vim
---     :echo getwininfo(win_getid())[0].width - getwininfo(win_getid())[0].textoff
--- <
--- To get the Nvim screen size, see the 'columns' option.
---
--- @param nr integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.winwidth(nr) end

--- The result is a dictionary of byte/chars/word statistics for
--- the current buffer.  This is the same info as provided by
--- |g_CTRL-G|
--- The return value includes:
---   bytes    Number of bytes in the buffer
---   chars    Number of chars in the buffer
---   words    Number of words in the buffer
---   cursor_bytes    Number of bytes before cursor position
---       (not in Visual mode)
---   cursor_chars    Number of chars before cursor position
---       (not in Visual mode)
---   cursor_words    Number of words before cursor position
---       (not in Visual mode)
---   visual_bytes    Number of bytes visually selected
---       (only in Visual mode)
---   visual_chars    Number of chars visually selected
---       (only in Visual mode)
---   visual_words    Number of words visually selected
---       (only in Visual mode)
---
--- @return any
function vim.fn.wordcount() end

--- When {object} is a |List| write it to file {fname}.  Each list
--- item is separated with a NL.  Each list item must be a String
--- or Number.
--- All NL characters are replaced with a NUL character.
--- Inserting CR characters needs to be done before passing {list}
--- to writefile().
---
--- When {object} is a |Blob| write the bytes to file {fname}
--- unmodified, also when binary mode is not specified.
---
--- {flags} must be a String.  These characters are recognized:
---
--- 'b'  Binary mode is used: There will not be a NL after the
---      last list item.  An empty item at the end does cause the
---      last line in the file to end in a NL.
---
--- 'a'  Append mode is used, lines are appended to the file: >vim
---   call writefile(["foo"], "event.log", "a")
---   call writefile(["bar"], "event.log", "a")
--- <
--- 'D'  Delete the file when the current function ends.  This
---      works like: >vim
---   defer delete({fname})
--- <     Fails when not in a function.  Also see |:defer|.
---
--- 's'  fsync() is called after writing the file.  This flushes
---      the file to disk, if possible.  This takes more time but
---      avoids losing the file if the system crashes.
---
--- 'S'  fsync() is not called, even when 'fsync' is set.
---
---      When {flags} does not contain "S" or "s" then fsync() is
---      called if the 'fsync' option is set.
---
--- An existing file is overwritten, if possible.
---
--- When the write fails -1 is returned, otherwise 0.  There is an
--- error message if the file can't be created or when writing
--- fails.
---
--- Also see |readfile()|.
--- To copy a file byte for byte: >vim
---   let fl = readfile("foo", "b")
---   call writefile(fl, "foocopy", "b")
--- <
---
--- @param object any
--- @param fname string
--- @param flags? string
--- @return any
function vim.fn.writefile(object, fname, flags) end

--- Bitwise XOR on the two arguments.  The arguments are converted
--- to a number.  A List, Dict or Float argument causes an error.
--- Also see `and()` and `or()`.
--- Example: >vim
---   let bits = xor(bits, 0x80)
--- <
---
--- @param expr integer
--- @param expr1 integer
--- @return integer
function vim.fn.xor(expr, expr1) end
