Glad that it works! Escaping is often an alternate method to quoting, makes things less readable but saves you in some conditions. > I couldn't find anything yum-specific in bash-completion. > > [root@localhost ~]# rpm -ql bash-completion |grep yum > [root@localhost ~]# Bash allows modular completion, this is why is may suggest command-line arguments (switches) to `yum` or other commands, see: # yum up<TAB> update upgrade It proposes update and upgrades, because bash completion has been told how yum works. Unfortunately I don't have any pointers that would document all this properly, but to say that it's all in /etc/bash_completion.d and: # rpm -qf /etc/bash_completion.d/yum-utils.bash yum-utils-1.1.31-50.el7.noarch and # rpm -qa|grep bash-completion bash-completion-extras-2.1-11.el7.noarch bash-completion-2.1-6.el7.noarch Here I disabled app-specific completion in my ~/.bash_profile 'cause it might slow down user interaction and sometimes simply cause issues. To get the expanding of paths only (as in bash 2 at least, IIRC): # complete -D -o default See `man bash` and look for the `complete` command to know more. Regards, -- wwp
