tipc completion error about bash-completion HOT 3 CLOSED

This is sort of expected behavior, apart from maybe the error looking bad.

This is the synopsis:
tipc link get { tolerance | priority | window } link TIPC-LINK-NAME

When you press the last tab for completing TIPC-LINK-NAME the bash-completion recipe tries to get the tipc link names using the tipc command, which fails as you don't have the TIPC module loaded on your system.

What I perhaps could do is implement a silent TIPC module check here, so that the last tab simply dons't output anything?

Yes, the right thing to do is to just suppress the error message.

"modprobe tipc" will resolve the problem
