Hrm, you said Ubuntu. /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/make exists for me on Ubuntu 14.04. Looks like it's provided by the 'bash-completion' package (version 1:2.1-4). Normally files in /etc/bash_completion.d/ are installed by individual packages for the tools (i.e. the npm package installs /etc/bash_completion.d/npm).
In any case, if you have /etc/bash_completions.d/make and it provides the functionality you want, looking at that should work. -Kevin > On Sep 11, 2014, at 3:53 PM, Mandeep Sandhu <mandeepsandhu....@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I don't have a 'make' file under > /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ but under > /etc/bash_completion.d/make (maybe a linux/debian thing). > > I'll look into this file. > > > > On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 3:02 PM, Kevin Ballard <ke...@sb.org> wrote: >> More specifically, this is defined in >> /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/make and includes a second function >> `_make_target_extract_script` that does a lot of the work. >> >> -Kevin >> >>> On Sep 11, 2014, at 3:00 PM, Kevin Ballard <ke...@sb.org> wrote: >>> >>> It appears bash uses a function called `_make` to do it. `type _make` will >>> print out its definition. >>> >>> -Kevin >>> >>>> On Sep 11, 2014, at 2:49 PM, Mandeep Sandhu <mandeepsandhu....@gmail.com> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Thanks for the info. >>>> >>>> I'm using fish under Ubuntu.
