public unowned List<void*> complete_utf8 (string prefix, out string? new_prefix = null)

Attempts to complete the string prefix using the Completion target items.

Note:

Rarely used API

In contrast to complete, this function returns the largest common prefix that is a valid UTF-8 string, omitting a possible common partial character.

You should use this function instead of complete if your items are UTF-8 strings.

this	the Completion
prefix	the prefix string, typically used by the user, which is compared with each of the items
new_prefix	if non-null, returns the longest prefix which is common to all items that matched `prefix`, or null if no items matched `prefix`. This string should be freed when no longer needed.

the list of items whose strings begin with prefix. This should not be changed.
