| 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, | ||||
