I don’t know, to be honest; I’m not deeply familiar with its workings. I just know that I made a habit of running a command “dry” without sudo, both because not everything should be done with superuser privileges* and because it’s a way to make sure I get the syntax right, then if it does need sudo, I repeat it with sudo.
*Which is why sudo -i (the interactive mode) is a dangerous tool that shouldn’t actually be your default mode of working
Auto complete is a separate command (or a bash function) that runs when you press tab. It’s a feature of the terminal (e.g. bash). Programs can provide theur auto complete while distributing their packages, or provide a flag to generate auto complete.
So I would think you can just call that function call auto complete for whatever command is after sudo. But maybe it gets complicated. I’ve only written it for my own programs.
