Description Michael Biebl 2014-05-07 12:38:47 UTC

If there is an escaped name, autocompletion is not working properly.

Say you have a network-device my-eth.
If you run 
systemctl status and use the outcompletion, it will result in
systemctl status sys-subsystem-net-devices-my\x2deth.device

The outcompletion should use a \\ as one '\' is consumed by the shell or quote the argument.
