Command completion

Autocomplete

Bash command completion (autocomplete), is a built-in bash function.
See man complete or man bash in the 'complete' section.

By default, bash does not autocomplete bash aliases. Here is a feature request filed for it:
http://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108476

It is said that the zsh shell has a more powerful, flexible command autocompletion implementation than bash.

bash, man command completion

What drives command completion (tab) in bash?

When I want: man rc-update and type man rc and then TAB, I don't get command completion.
