$Revision: 1.1 $
This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any
program to provide command-line editing and recall.
It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a
fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use
standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright.
Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get
a small slow shell for testing.
This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc:
- Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames.
- Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars.
- Better signal handling.
- Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's.
- Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed.
The following changes, made since the last public release, come from
J.G. Vons <vons@cesar.crbca1.sinet.slb.com>:
- History-searching no longer redraws the line wrong
- Added ESC-ESC as synonym for ESC-?
- SIGQUIT (normally ^\) now sends a signal, not indicating EOF.
- Fixed some typo's and unclear wording in the manpage.
- Fixed completion when all entries shared a common prefix.
- Fixed some meta-char line-redrawing bugs.
Enjoy,
