15 This is what happens when you hit TAB twice when running bash. So either
16 you hit TAB or a couple TAB characters \t\t were in the input stream
17 somewhere. The list is a list of executable commands within the scope of
18 your account. If you type part of a command and hit TAB twice, it'll
19 give you a list of commands based on what you've typed so far. It's a
20 little helper feature.
