Well... that's not exactly true. The bash_completion scripts add some
intelligence to it. For example, if I type
mplayer <tab><tab>
in my home directory, it will only show all sub-directories (including
hidden ones) and files with "proper" secondary filenames (the REGEXP
for the file endings that it accepts are
(mp?(e)g|MP?(E)G|wm[av]|WM[AV]|avi|AVI|asf|ASF|vob|VOB|bin|BIN|dat|DAT|vcd|VCD|ps|PS|pes|PES|fli|FLI|viv|VIV|rm?(j)|RM?(J)|ra?(m)|RA?(M)|yuv|YUV|mov|MOV|qt|QT|mp[34]|MP[34]|og[gm]|OG[GM]|wav|WAV|dump|DUMP|mkv|MKV|m4a|M4A|aac|AAC|m2v|M2V|dv|DV|mid|MID|ts|TS)
You can look at /etc/bash_completion to see what programs have their
behaviours modified.
On the other hand, the only mention of 'less' in
/etc/bash_completion
/etc/bash_completion.d/gentoo
is the line telling bash that, when you type
less -<tab><tab>
it will fill in a second dash and show the list of long options.
