   2 ==========================

   4 ReadLine is a Clean library that allows interactive console programs to use the
   5 GNU readline libraries. At the moment this is only tested on Linux.

   7 ###Usage
   8 To setup the library you can simply run
   9 ```
  10 make -C Clean\ System\ Files
  11 ```
  12
  13 To compile and test the test program you can run
  14 ```
  15 make
  16 ./test
  17 ```
  18
  19 When you want to use the library in your program you should compile with the
  20 `-l /usr/lib/libreadline.so` linker flag

  22 All functions try to resemble the original
  23 [readline](http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/readline.html) and
  24 [history](http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/history.html) api
  25 functions as close as possible
