Hello again, I've installed fish and called the following:
$ python /usr/share/fish/tools/create_manpage_completions.py /usr/share/man/man1/rdiff-backup.1.gz $ ll ~/.local/share/fish/generated_completions/ total 12 -rw-rw-r--. 1 myuser myuser 9936 Oct 27 07:18 rdiff-backup.fish $ cat ~/.local/share/fish/generated_completions/rdiff-backup.fish # rdiff-backup # Autogenerated from man page /usr/share/man/man1/rdiff-backup.1.gz complete -c rdiff-backup -l allow-duplicate-timestamps --description 'This option is only to be used if you encounter the issue of metadata mirrors…' complete -c rdiff-backup -s b -l backup-mode --description 'Force backup mode even if first argument appears to be an increment or mirror…' complete -c rdiff-backup -l calculate-average --description 'Enter calculate average mode.' [... etc, 83 lines in total ...] So it sounds to me like it works correctly.
