Description Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca 2014-10-14 21:16:16 UTC

Hello,

ash cannot tab-complete built-in commands as it does with commands in $PATH.

For example:

$ bre<tab>

does not show break. The same happens for all built-in commands that does not have a stand-alone binary (like echo) in $PATH (even if busybox).

bash, ksh and csh all tab-complete built-ins.
