This is a line editing library. It can be linked into almost any program to
|
|
provide command-line editing and history. It is call-compatible with the FSF
|
|
readline library, but is a fraction of the size (and offers fewer features).
|
|
|
|
The editline library was created by Simmule Turner and Rich Salz back in 1992.
|
|
At the time they chose to distribute the code under a "C News-like" copyright,
|
|
see the file LICENSE for details.
|
|
|
|
The small size (<30k), lack of dependencies (no ncurses needed!) and the free
|
|
license should make this library interesting to many embedded developers.
|
|
|
|
Configuration is made by supplying different options to the GNU configure
|
|
script. In the `examples/` directory you can find some small code snippets used
|
|
for testing.
|
|
|
|
This version of the editline library is a fork off the Minix3 sources. Other
|
|
know versions, often based off of the original comp.sources.unix posting are:
|
|
|
|
* Debian [libeditline](http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/editline.html)
|
|
* [Heimdal](http://www.h5l.org)
|
|
* [Festival speech-tools](http://festvox.org/festival/)
|
|
* Steve Tell's [editline patches](http://www.cs.unc.edu/~tell/dist.html)
|
|
|
|
The most intersting patches and bug fixes from each fork have been merged here.
|
|
Outstanding issues are listed in the TODO file.
|
|
|
|
An explanation of the version numbering may be in order. I didn't know about
|
|
the Debian version for quite some time, so I kept a different name for the
|
|
package and a different versioning scheme. In June 2009, I decided to line up
|
|
alongside Debian, with the intent of merging the efforts.
