Hello! Why when I create *complete -C 'echo -e "aa\nab\n"' : *completion
and try use it I obtain additional garbage in output instead of only *ab
ab* hints?
"When the function or command is invoked, the
first argument ($1) is the name of the command whose arguments are be-
ing completed, the second argument ($2) is the word being completed,
and the third argument ($3) is the word preceding the word being com-
pleted on the current command line. "
So your echo command is echoing the arguments it receives when invoked by
the completion system.
