It is implemented using proxmox VE volume IDs. Filesystem paths are currently not supported.

Your question was about PVE4.

Just a little confuse, Is it the bash provides the autocomplete?
Thanks for your time

Yes and no, to say it a bit simple: respective to a entered command, bash makes a call back to the command requesting the possible completions, our API then returns a list of values which can be use for autocompletion.

For example the completion for the ha-manager is configured for bash complete like this:

cat /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ha-manager

@ebiss: I know there is still room for improvements ...
