DESCRIPTION

       shells. Supported shells are bash, zsh, fish and powershell.


       These script are used by the shell to provide suggestions and complete
       commands when the command is typed and [TAB] is pressed.


       Usually these scripts are automatically installed via the package
       manager.

       bash-completion has to be installed on the system.


       To load the completion script into the current session run:

       source <(podman completion bash)



       To make it available for all bash sessions run:

       podman completion -f /etc/bash_completion.d/podman bash
