It is seeing if you have bash-completion installed, and if so, loading it, so that your tab-completion is more powerful. The check for an i within $- is to make sure your shell is interactive, as it is a waste to start bash-completion in a non-interactive shell. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
