>From man 1 ksh: Custom completions may be configured by creating an array named ‘complete_command’, optionally suffixed with an argument number to complete only for a single argument. So defining an array named ‘complete_kill’ provides possible completions for any argument to the kill(1) command, but ‘complete_kill_1’ only completes the first argument. For example, the following command makes ksh offer a selection of signal names for the first argument to kill(1): set -A complete_kill_1 -- -9 -HUP -INFO -KILL -TERM This of course can't work for commands with a hyphen because the parameter name of the array is then invalid.
