Hiding the first column, which may contain bullet circles, with --no-legend
is undocumented and potentially unexpected. On the other hand, not printing
bullet circles with --plain is documented so hiding the column with that
switch is sensible.
The combination "--full --no-legend --no-pager --plain" is appropriate for
automated processing of systemctl output.
The AA is unnecessary and only adds needless complexity. Replace it
with a case statement instead of repeatedly calling __contains_word to
overglorify string equalities.
- scope the iterator var
- use the correct, quoted, non-expansion prone positional parameter
notation
- prevent expansion on RHS of comparison
- remove unneeded explicit returns.
This really should be defined only once...
Split the large bash completion script into separate, smaller files each
named after the binary it is used for and move the files to
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions. This way the completions can be
loaded on demand and we only install the completions for the tools we
actually build. The old path /etc/bash_completion.d/ is deprecated and
will disappear in the future.
