Standard completion
bash has offered many forms of completion since its inception, including path, file, user, host and variable completion.

Path-name completion
This type of completion occurs on the first token of the command line, allowing you to complete on executable files. Together with file-name completion, it is the most known and used type.

File-name completion
This allows you to complete on file and directory names at the second and subsequent token position on the command line.

User-name completion
This allows you to complete on user names by prefixing the token with a ~ (tilde).

Host-name completion
This allows you to complete on host names by prefixing the token with a @.

Variable-name completion
This allows you to complete on variable names by prefixing the token with a $.


And now, bash-completion indefinitely extends the type of completion you can perform.
