+Bash completion
+---------------
+
+If Bash is used as an interactive shell, users can benefit from completion,
+using the <TAB> key. Bash completion is enabled by first sourcing the
+:file:`${install_prefix}/share/bash-completion/completions/gdal` file, which
+should be automatically done on a number of binary distributions of GDAL.
+
