    # compgen is used to filter matching completions
    COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W 'hello world' -- "$current_word") )
}    
complete -F _mycompletion mycommand

  # The "config" option takes a file arg, so get a list of the files in the
  # current dir.  A case statement is probably unnecessary here, but leaves
  # room to customize the parameters for other flags.

# The -o parameter tells Bash to process completions as filenames, where applicable.
