# `lxc completion bash` Generate the autocompletion script for bash ## Synopsis Generate the autocompletion script for the bash shell. This script depends on the ‘bash-completion’ package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS’s package manager. To load completions in your current shell session: ```none source <(lxc completion bash) ``` To load completions for every new session, execute once: ### Linux: ```none lxc completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/lxc ``` ### macOS: ```none lxc completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/lxc ``` You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect. ```default lxc completion bash ``` ## Options ```default --no-descriptions disable completion descriptions ``` ## Options inherited from parent commands ```default --debug Show all debug messages --force-local Force using the local unix socket -h, --help Print help --project Override the source project -q, --quiet Don't show progress information --sub-commands Use with help or --help to view sub-commands -v, --verbose Show all information messages --version Print version number ``` ## SEE ALSO * [lxc completion](https://canonical.com/lxd/docs/default/reference/manpages/lxc/completion/index.html.md#lxc-completion-md) - Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
