 Generates a bash shell autocompletion script for rclone.
 
-This writes to /etc/bash_completion.d/rclone by default so will
-probably need to be run with sudo or as root, e.g.
+By default, when run without any arguments, 
 
-    sudo rclone genautocomplete bash
+    rclone genautocomplete bash
 
-Logout and login again to use the autocompletion scripts, or source
-them directly
+the generated script will be written to
 
-    . /etc/bash_completion
+    /etc/bash_completion.d/rclone
 
-If you supply a command line argument the script will be written
-there.
+and so rclone will probably need to be run as root, or with sudo.
+
+If you supply a path to a file as the command line argument, then 
+the generated script will be written to that file, in which case
+you should not need root privileges.
 
 If output_file is "-", then the output will be written to stdout.
+
+If you have installed the script into the default location, you
+can logout and login again to use the autocompletion script.
+
+Alternatively, you can source the script directly
+
+    . /path/to/my_bash_completion_scripts/rclone
+
+and the autocompletion functionality will be added to your
+current shell.
