# rclone completion zsh

Output zsh completion script for rclone.

## Synopsis

Generates a zsh autocompletion script for rclone.

This writes to /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_rclone by default so will
probably need to be run with sudo or as root, e.g.

```console
sudo rclone completion zsh
```

Logout and login again to use the autocompletion scripts, or source
them directly

```console
autoload -U compinit && compinit
```

If you supply a command line argument the script will be written
there.

If output_file is "-", then the output will be written to stdout.

```
rclone completion zsh [output_file] [flags]
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help   help for zsh
```

See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
