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 |
