            Bug ID: 16258
           Summary: "info os" completion
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com

"info os" has a number of options but no completer installed.
It would be nice to have this.
It's also slightly strange that the "info os" subcommands
are not implemented as actual subcommands.  Doing so would
provide completion for free.

This is as designed.  The whole point of "info os" is to have the target send
over the data it pleases.  GDB just knows the target will send over a table of
(xml) data, but has no clue on contents.  A plain "info os" with no sub-table
specified returns a table with the supported sub-tables -- the completer could
make use of that.
