1 Clean readline Version 0.3
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 /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
30 - History state can now be written as well as read
32 - History file operations added
33 - EOF is now properly handled
36 - History works but no control over it
40 - Complete history api implementation
41 - Embed the readline library in the object files in such a way that no special
42 compiler flag is needed.
43 - Control over tabcompletion, right now it completes on filenames.
44 - Check possibilities for Windows/Mac
