compopt

NAME

SYNOPSIS

compopt [-o option] [-DE] [+o option] [name]

DESCRIPTION

Modify completion options for each name according to the options, or for the currently-executing completion if no names are supplied.  If no options are given, display the completion options for each name or the current completion.  The possible values of option are those valid for the complete builtin described above.  The -D option indicates that the remaining options should apply to the ``default'' command completion; that is, completion attempted on a command for which no completion has previously been defined.  The -E option indicates that the remaining options should apply to ``empty'' command completion; that is, completion attempted on a blank line.

The return value is true unless an invalid option is supplied, an attempt is made to modify the options for a name for which no completion specification exists, or an output error occurs.
