Documentation: rclone_genautocomplete_bash.md example command looks incorrect for SLES/openSUSE/Rocky?

[pawsey-kbuckley]

The rclone_genautocomplete_bash.md file renders, within this GitHub repo, as

"Logout and login again to use the autocompletion scripts, or source them directly

. /etc/bash_completion

If you supply a command line argument ..."

however, if you are sourcing the script (singular) that that doc, a couple of lines
above, tell you gets created by default, directly, then should the example
not be telling you to do this

. /etc/bash_completion.d/rclone

instead?

I am thinking that the documentation's choice, of sourcing a utility
file /etc/bash_completion that, on Ubuntu, actually sources this

/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

might cause some confusion, as it did, for me. on a couple of SLES,
openSUSE and Rocky 9 systems we run here, where

/etc/bash_completion

doesn't exist, even though the

/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

file does.

If one does, as I did for testing without root/sudo, create a single
automcompletion script, then the sourcing of it would want the full
path to the script specified anyway.

Maybe then, the text and example should read, as follows, where the
script is singular:

"Logout and login again to use the autocompletion script, or source it directly

. /etc/bash_completion.d/rclone

If you supply a command line argument ..."

Thanks for spotting this.

The source code for the docs is here - this is the only place which needs changing.
