Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its
standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a
few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts
from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a
list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system:
[Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called
system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This
project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the
most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and
programmers need to do on a daily basis.
