Re: Tab completion in nse-scripts

[Daniel Roberson <daniel () planethacker net>]

Hello Aniket!

Tab completion is done via your shell, not Nmap.

On the Ubuntu machine I am using right now:

- bash: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/nmap (bash-completion
package)
- zsh: /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_nmap (zsh-common package)

If you are using some other OS or distro, the locations and packages may be
different, but this is where the magic happens.

Hopefully this helps.

Kind regards,
- Daniel
