NAME

Bash::Completion - Extensible system to provide bash completion

VERSION

version 0.008

SYNOPSIS

    ## For end users, in your .bashrc:
    ##
    . setup-bash-complete
    ##
    ## Now install all the Bash::Completion::Plugins:: that you need
    ##
    ## For plugin writters, see Bash::Completion::Plugin

DESCRIPTION

bash completion should just work when you install new commands. Bash::Completion is a system to use and write bash completion rules.

For end-users, you just need to add this line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

    . setup-bash-complete

This will load all the installed Bash::Completion plugins, make sure they should be activated and generate the proper bash code to setup bash completion for them.

If you later install a new command line tool, and it has a Bash::Completion::Plugin- based plugin, all your new shells will have bash completion rules for it. You can also force immediate setup by running the same command:

    . setup-bash-complete

To write a new Bash::Completion plugin, see Bash::Completion::Plugin.

METHODS
