Hi all,

It looks like '-' and '--' don't have the same effect in compadd.

For example, the following completion function produces "_systemctl_test:compadd:2: bad option: -.":

_systemctl_test()
{
   compadd -- -.mount boot.mount
}

Whereas it works well with '-'.
The documentation says:

   -
   --     This flag ends the list of flags and  options.  All  argu-
          ments  after  it  will  be  taken  as  the words to use as
          matches even if they begin with hyphens.

I know about -Q:

   -Q     This  flag  instructs the completion code not to quote any
          metacharacters in the words when inserting them  into  the
          command line.

which also does the trick, but I don't think that's what I need.
Besides, I can not see any kind of quoting when not specifying -Q.

Am I missing something ?

In attachment a test sample, issue: systemctl test [TAB].

Cheers,
Foudil
