16.5.3 How to use the generated script ¶

We can store the generated script in a file to be sourced upon launching the terminal, or we can evaluate it with the command:

eval "$(my-script help print-completions-script)"

For a script named my-script, it is a good idea to install a file with pathname:

/etc/bash_completions.d/my-script.bash

with contents:

# my-script.bash --
#
# Completions for the "my-script" script.

eval "$(my-script help print-completions-script)"
