README -*-text-*-
|
||||
======
|
||||
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, see
|
||||
the file LICENSE for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration is made by supplying different options to the GNU
|
||||
configure script. In the examples directory, type "make testit" to
|
||||
get a small slow shell for testing.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs
|
||||
----
|
||||
There is one known bug. History-searching redraws the line wrong if
|
||||
the text retrieved is shorter then the prompt.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy,
