+To make it easier to write auto-completion for shells, @command{ponysay} supports
+the two options @command{--onelist} and @command{--quoters}, which has not short
+versions.
+
+Executing @command{ponysay --onelist} will list every available pony,
+independent of where it is located, the output is a sorted and consists only
+of one pony per line.
+
+@command{ponysay --quoters} work just as @command{ponysay --onelist}, excepts
+it limites the ponies to those that have quotes. Ponies that have qoutes,
+but does not exist, i.e. does not have a .pony-file, are not listed.
+
+Auto-completion scripts should not suggest these options.
