[strongSwan] swanctl bash autocompletion version 0.1

[Noel Kuntze]

Hello list readers,

I started to write a bash autocompletion script with support for all operations of swanctl.
However, autocompletion of any IKE_SA or CHILD_SA configs or IDs is not supported because
there is no nice, completely integrated way to get all the current names and IDs in use just with bash
in a nice, programmatic manner (no, awk and sed are not nice).
This is all WIP and right now I'm stuck with the problem that the auto completion always adds a dash (-)
as first character, even if variable data needs to be provided as a value to an argument.

Most of the boilerplate code is already in place. If you can provide a workable solution for getting the
conn names and so on via VICI that is integrated with strongswan.conf (to get the configured swanctl
VICI URL) that maybe uses awk or something like that, I'm willing to add that, too.

The repo is on Github[1]. You're welcome to help develop this further.

Kind regards

Noel
