bash programmable completion

July 23, 2007 |

Bash is probably the easiest and most user friendly shell that many beginners start up with.  Many veteran UNIX guys such as myself still use bash because it makes moving around a unix system and writing scripts effortless for some reason.  I also like the history and command completion of bash and in my opinion compare to other shells, majority of the Linux users love bash too.

Recently I came across bash programmable completion which basically enhances command completion feature of bash even more.  “Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systemtis from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile.”

You can download it here and read more about loads of other cool features it comes with.
