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.
|
|
|
|
An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal
|
|
changes over that version include:
|
|
Faster.
|
|
Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu)
|
|
Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
|
|
Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
|
|
Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
|
|
More robust
|
|
Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
|
|
Test program, new manpage, better configuration
|
|
More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There is one known bug:
|
|
History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text
|
|
retrieved is shorter then the prompt.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy,
|
