- The following are known bugs with the bash completion code. See also the
- KNOWN PROBLEMS section of the README file.
-
- - sudo completion goes awry when a command line contains wildcards
-
- The problem arises because sudo needs to hand off completion duties to
- the function bound to the command that it is told to execute. As part of
- this process, any arguments on the command line are expanded.
-
- Suppose you have the following command line:
-
- $ sudo mv *.txt foo/
-
- This command line contains four tokens, of which '*.txt' is the third.
- However, after expansion of the wildcard, there may be any number of
- arguments in the command-line that is ultimately handed to mv.
-
- Note: this bug is believed to be fixed as of the 20030501 release
