VBoxManage bash completion script

This version of the completion was initially based on Sebastian T. Hafner script. However, in some point of time I've decided to rewrite it almost from scratch.

Current version of script was written and tested against VBoxManage in version 7.0.10, and should contain all commands and their options.

Unlike other attempts, I've tried to make the script context aware. See the simple session with the VBoxManage command below, to have an idea how it works:

Note, that startvm command proposes only VMs, which are not running, while controlvm will complete only running VMs.

What is worth to mention, this completion script is a real thing, so it only offer things which have sense for particular commands, for example:

For snapshot take subcommand, the only options which are proposed are --live and --description. Other commands and subcommands are behaving in similar way.

Installation

Either source the file:

$ . /path/to/this/repo/VBoxManage

or add it to a proper place depending on your distribution. Usual place would be:

~/bash-completion.d/
/usr/local/etc/bash-completion.d/
/etc/bash_completion.d/
etc.

It's also okay to copy it into some directory, and place proper line in .profile or .bashrc:

source /some/directory/VBoxManage
