BashProgrammableCompletion

Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behaviour 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.
