Dear All,

I downloaded the attachment file and activate for bash_complete, It can give you 
the following output:
# virsh net-
net-autostart    net-dhcp-leases  net-info         net-undefine
net-create       net-dumpxml      net-list         net-update
net-define       net-edit         net-name         net-uuid
net-destroy      net-event        net-start

Thanks; but that's fragile. You have to constantly maintain the bash
script to keep up with additions to virsh.

Much better would be adding a 'virsh complete' command, which takes the
remaining command line arguments, and provides the context-sensitive
completion list that best fits what the rest of the command line would
be looking for if done in isolation.  Then the bash completion wrapper
would merely forward the current command line to 'virsh complete', and
you'd only ever have to write the bash wrapper once, rather than
maintaining it through each virsh addition.

At one point, a student attempted work on this for Google Summer of Code
(I think 2014?), but didn't get anywhere.  It is still a GREAT idea, if
someone wants to tackle it.

Yes, I believe.It can report as feature request.
