builtin help complete



  • complete: complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-DE] [-o option] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist]  [-F function] [-C command] [-X filterpat] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] [name ...]
        Specify how arguments are to be completed by Readline.
    
        For each NAME, specify how arguments are to be completed.  If no options
        are supplied, existing completion specifications are printed in a way that
        allows them to be reused as input.
    
        Options:
          -p        print existing completion specifications in a reusable format
          -r        remove a completion specification for each NAME, or, if no
            NAMEs are supplied, all completion specifications
          -D        apply the completions and actions as the default for commands
            without any specific completion defined
          -E        apply the completions and actions to "empty" commands --
            completion attempted on a blank line
    
        When completion is attempted, the actions are applied in the order the
        uppercase-letter options are listed above.  The -D option takes
        precedence over -E.
    
        Exit Status:
        Returns success unless an invalid option is supplied or an error occurs.
