9#
10#In the recent versions of bash (after 2.04) programmable
11#completion is available. A useful completion function
12#is , for a particular command, to enumerate all flags
13#that can be used in the command. Now, most GNU unix
14#commands have so-called 'long options' for example:
15#
16#ls --color=always --no-group --size
17#
18#and these are all listed when you issue a '--help' flag.
