give me a list of all the executables that could complete my command.
The command completion doesn't give a complete listing of all files, but oddly,
it does include many ".dll's", most that would seem to be non-executable...like:
I wanted to find all executables starting with cyg:
/tmp> cyg<ESC>= #vi mode Display all 142 possibilities? (y or n) .... big long list deleted ... cygfpx-1.dll cygxkbfile-1.dll cygfreetype-6.dll cygxkbui-1.dll cygfreetype-9.dll cygxml2-2.dll cyggd-2.dll cygz.dll /tmp> cyggd-2.dll bash: /bin/cyggd-2.dll: Permission denied /tmp> ---------
Why does command completion display "dll's"? Is this really desirable
behavior (I just wanted to find all the cygXXX commands...)? Directory names
also show up as executables if they are directories in a directory of your
search path...hmmm.... Is this a bug or a feature? :-) Has it always done
this?...hmph.
