generate-bash-autocomplete

Creates an Asadmin CLI autocompletion script for bash.

Synopsis

asadmin generate-bash-autocomplete [--help]
[--force=false]
[--localcommands=false]
[file]
shell

Description

The created file will be located in the server’s host and not the client. If they are on different hosts, then the file will be needed to copied from the server to the client.

You can add the resulting file to your bash path by adding source path/to/outputfile to your .bashrc settings or copy the file into the /etc/bash_completion.d directory.

This means that you can run asadmin commands by typing asadmin in a terminal, and you can use double-tab to autocomplete a command, similar to other bash commands.

Options

-?

--force

Whether to overwrite a script file if one already exists. The default value is false.

--file

The path for the resulting file. The default value is as-install/bin/bash_autocomplete.

--localCommands

This option will include local asadmin commands.

The default value is false.
