Hi,

I am Inchara J, a third year engineering undergrad, and I am interested in
the project titled "Implement Shell Completion for OpenAFS Commands".
This is my POC for the project: github link for POC
<https://github.com/Incharajayaram/openafs/tree/gsoc-dump-syntax>
I have pushed code patches to gerrit before like:
1. https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16735/ - bu_utils: improve fms.c error
handling
2. https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16730/ - bu_utils: avoid div-by-zero in
fileMarkSize
3. https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16731/ - volser: ensure vldb entry names
are null-terminated

This is my proposal link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OWu-e8VCV7IYyfBBXmfKi6oonimJBkPe/view?usp=sharing

It is a drive link where comments can be added, Kindly review my proposal
and add comments if possible for any changes required.

Thank you,
Best Regards,
Inchara
