These script are used by the shell to provide suggestions and complete commands when the command is typed and [TAB] is pressed.
Usually these scripts are automatically installed via the package manager.
Write the generated output to a file.
Do not provide description in the completions.
The default is false.
bash-completion has to be installed on the system.
To load the completion script into the current session run:
source <(podman completion bash).
To make it available for all bash sessions run:
podman completion -f /etc/bash_completion.d/podman bash.
Shell completion needs to be already enabled in the environment. The following can be executed:
echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc
To make it available for all zsh sessions run:
podman completion -f "${fpath[1]}/_podman" zsh
Once the shell is reloaded the auto-completion should be working.
