Start from reading "Programmable Completion" section in bash manual, then proceed to `compgen' and `complete' builtin commands description. If you plan to integrate your completion with bash-completion, then there are plenty of example scripts for you to learn from in the bash-completion distribution. If you don't want to depend on bash-completion, then I'd recommend to look into this completion: http://code.google.com/p/sbopkg/source/browse/trunk/src/usr/doc/contrib/sbopkg.bash it's simple and quite clear. -- Igor _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
