I find it neat (from the URL provided): Bash has offered many forms of completion since its inception, including path, file, user, host and variable completion. * Path-name completion This type of completion occurs on the first token of the command line, allowing you to complete on executable files. Together with file-name completion, it is the most known and used type. * File-name completion This allows you to complete on file and directory names at the second and subsequent token position on the command line. * User-name completion This allows you to complete on user names by prefixing the token with a ~ (tilde). * Host-name completion This allows you to complete on host names by prefixing the token with a @. * Variable-name completion This allows you to complete on variable names by prefixing the token with a $. Programmable completion indefinitely extends the type of completion you can perform. -- .''`.
