I'm writing a script to make sure I keep good records while experimenting with kernel parameters. between make menuconfig and make-kpkg kernel-image
I want to make sure that I save my .config in a safe location. In bash I supose this is easy: echo -n "Save this config as: " read filename cp .config $filename however, there's no guarantee there that I've inputted a valid path. Is there a way to do the following while 'read'ing: - provide a default value (e.g. /usr/src/configs/latest-config) - provide bash-style tab completion (so that I can be sure I'm saving in a valid directory) I don't notice any hints in this direction in the ABS, but probably I'm just missing them.
