1 Clean readline Version 0.4
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.
8 To setup the library you can simply run
10 make -C Clean\ System\ Files
13 To compile and test the test program you can run
19 When you want to use the library in your program you should compile with the
20 `-l -lreadline` 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
27 *Please note that some functions will crash if `usingHistory` is not called*
32 - All API functions implemented, requires some testing
34 - Better build mechanism
35 - Information about the history list functions implemented, not thoroughly
38 - History state can now be written as well as read
40 - History file operations added
41 - EOF is now properly handled
44 - History works but no control over it
48 - Find a way to set readline variables
49 - Check all functions if more maybe's are needed to handle NULL
50 - For example replace history
51 - Implement history expansion functions
52 - Use builtin Maybe if available, otherwise fall back on own Maybe
53 - Complete history api implementation
54 - Control over tabcompletion, right now it completes on filenames.
55 - Check possibilities for Windows/Mac
