Readline Probelm

Hi,

actually for command line auto completion i knew that using shell.....but we see interactive command line args completion can done by tab key using gnu readline library...up to this i knew but here i want command line switches completion using tab

---------- Post updated at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:29 PM ----------

here wht I want is:
Just type your command, a dash (-) and type tab. The shell will show you available switches.
For example, try:
root@ubuntu:~# ls -
and press tab - Surprise!
-a -c -b -d
-A -author -B -f .... so on options that available with ls command.
