| 3 | This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any
|
|---|
| 4 | program to provide command-line editing and recall.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a
|
|---|
| 7 | fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use
|
|---|
| 8 | standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get
|
|---|
| 11 | a small slow shell for testing.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal
|
|---|
| 14 | changes over that version include:
|
|---|
| 15 | Faster.
|
|---|
| 16 | Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu)
|
|---|
| 17 | Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
|
|---|
| 18 | Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
|
|---|
| 19 | Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
|
|---|
| 20 | More robust
|
|---|
| 21 | Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
|
|---|
| 22 | Test program, new manpage, better configuration
|
|---|
| 23 | More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc:
|
|---|
| 26 | Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames.
|
|---|
| 27 | Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars.
|
|---|
| 28 | Better signal handling.
|
|---|
| 29 | Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's.
|
|---|
| 30 | Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed.
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | There is one known bug:
|
|---|
| 33 | History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text
|
|---|
| 34 | retrieved is shorter then the prompt.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | Enjoy,
