DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee will read a line from the terminal and return it, using pppprrrroooommmmpppptttt as a prompt. If pppprrrroooommmmpppptttt is null, no prompt is issued. The line returned is allocated with _m_a_l_l_o_c(3), so the caller must free it when finished. The line returned has the final newline removed, so only the text of the line remains. rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee offers editing capabilities while the user is entering the line. By default, the line editing commands are similar to those of emacs. A vi-style line editing interface is also available. RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEE rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee returns the text of the line read. A blank line returns the empty string. If EEEEOOOOFFFF is encountered while reading a line, and the line is empty, NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL is returned. If an EEEEOOOOFFFF is read with a non-empty line, it is treated as a newline. NNNNOOOOTTTTAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN An emacs-style notation is used to denote keystrokes. Control keys are denoted by C-_k_e_y, e.g., C-n means Control-N. Similarly, _m_e_t_a keys are denoted by M-_k_e_y, so M-x means Meta-X. (On keyboards without a _m_e_t_a key, M-_x means ESC _x, i.e., press the Escape key then the _x key. This makes ESC the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x. The combination M-C-_x means ESC-Control-_x, or press the Escape key then hold the Control key while pressing the _x key.) Readline commands may be given numeric _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s, which normally act as a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is the sign of the argument that is significant. Passing a negative argument to a command that acts in the forward direction (e.g., kkkkiiiillllllll----lllliiiinnnneeee) causes that command to act in a backward direction. Commands whose behavior with arguments deviates from this are noted. Page 1 (printed 3/30/99) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999998888 DDDDeeeecccc 33331111)))) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) When a command is described as _k_i_l_l_i_n_g text, the text deleted is saved for possible future retrieval (_y_a_n_k_i_n_g). The killed text is saved in a _k_i_l_l _r_i_n_g. Consecutive kills cause the text to be accumulated into one unit, which can be yanked all at once. Commands which do not kill text separate the chunks of text on the kill ring. IIIINNNNIIIITTTTIIIIAAAALLLLIIIIZZZZAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN FFFFIIIILLLLEEEE Readline is customized by putting commands in an initialization file (the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file). The name of this file is taken from the value of the IIIINNNNPPPPUUUUTTTTRRRRCCCC environment variable. If that variable is unset, the default is ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c. When a program which uses the readline library starts up, the init file is read, and the key bindings and variables are set. There are only a few basic constructs allowed in the readline init file. Blank lines are ignored. Lines beginning with a #### are comments. Lines beginning with a $$$$ indicate conditional constructs. Other lines denote key bindings and variable settings. Each program using this library may add its own commands and bindings. For example, placing M-Control-u: universal-argument or C-Meta-u: universal-argument into the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c would make M-C-u execute the readline command _u_n_i_v_e_r_s_a_l-_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t. The following symbolic character names are recognized while processing key bindings: _R_U_B_O_U_T, _D_E_L, _E_S_C, _L_F_D, _N_E_W_L_I_N_E, _R_E_T, _R_E_T_U_R_N, _S_P_C, _S_P_A_C_E, and _T_A_B. In addition to command names, readline allows keys to be bound to a string that is inserted when the key is pressed (a _m_a_c_r_o). KKKKeeeeyyyy BBBBiiiinnnnddddiiiinnnnggggssss The syntax for controlling key bindings in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file is simple. All that is required is the name of the command or the text of a macro and a key sequence to which it should be bound. The name may be specified in one of two ways: as a symbolic key name, possibly with _M_e_t_a- or _C_o_n_t_r_o_l- prefixes, or as a key sequence. When using the form kkkkeeeeyyyynnnnaaaammmmeeee:_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, _k_e_y_n_a_m_e is the name of a key spelled out in English. For example: Control-u: universal-argument Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word Control-o: ">&output" In the above example, _C-_u is bound to the function uuuunnnniiiivvvveeeerrrrssssaaaallll----aaaarrrrgggguuuummmmeeeennnntttt, _M-_D_E_L is bound to the function bbbbaaaacccckkkkwwwwaaaarrrrdddd----kkkkiiiillllllll----wwwwoooorrrrdddd, and _C-_o is bound to run the macro Page 2 (printed 3/30/99) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999998888 DDDDeeeecccc 33331111)))) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the text >&_o_u_t_p_u_t into the line). In the second form, """"kkkkeeeeyyyysssseeeeqqqq"""":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, kkkkeeeeyyyysssseeeeqqqq differs from kkkkeeeeyyyynnnnaaaammmmeeee above in that strings denoting an entire key sequence may be specified by placing the sequence within double quotes. Some GNU Emacs style key escapes can be used, as in the following example. "\C-u": universal-argument "\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file "\e[11~": "Function Key 1" In this example, _C-_u is again bound to the function uuuunnnniiiivvvveeeerrrrssssaaaallll----aaaarrrrgggguuuummmmeeeennnntttt. _C-_x _C-_r is bound to the function rrrreeee----rrrreeeeaaaadddd----iiiinnnniiiitttt----ffffiiiilllleeee, and _E_S_C [ _1 _1 ~ is bound to insert the text FFFFuuuunnnnccccttttiiiioooonnnn KKKKeeeeyyyy 1111. The full set of GNU Emacs style escape sequences is \\\\CCCC---- control prefix \\\\MMMM---- meta prefix \\\\eeee an escape character \\\\\\\\ backslash \\\\"""" literal " \\\\'''' literal ' In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a second set of backslash escapes is available: \\\\aaaa alert (bell) \\\\bbbb backspace \\\\dddd delete \\\\ffff form feed \\\\nnnn newline \\\\rrrr carriage return \\\\tttt horizontal tab \\\\vvvv vertical tab \\\\_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the octal value _n_n_n (one to three digits) \\\\xxxx_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the hexadecimal value _n_n_n (one to three digits) When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes should be used to indicate a macro definition. Unquoted text is assumed to be a function name. In the macro body, the backslash escapes described above are expanded. Backslash will quote any other character in the macro text, including " and '. BBBBaaaasssshhhh allows the current readline key bindings to be displayed or modified with the bbbbiiiinnnndddd builtin command. The editing mode may be switched during interactive use by using the ----oooo option to the sssseeeetttt builtin command.

The _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file may be edited and re-read if a program does not provide any other means to incorporate new bindings. VVVVaaaarrrriiiiaaaabbbblllleeeessss Readline has variables that can be used to further customize its behavior. A variable may be set in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file with a statement of the form sssseeeetttt _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e-_n_a_m_e _v_a_l_u_e Except where noted, readline variables can take the values OOOOnnnn or OOOOffffffff.

It may be set to any integer value greater than or equal to zero. If the number of possible completions is greater than or equal to the value of this variable, the user is asked whether or not he wishes to view them; otherwise they are simply listed on the terminal. ccccoooonnnnvvvveeeerrrrtttt----mmmmeeeettttaaaa ((((OOOOnnnn)))) If set to OOOOnnnn, readline will convert characters with the eighth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by stripping the eighth bit and prepending an escape character (in effect, using escape as the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x). ddddiiiissssaaaabbbblllleeee----ccccoooommmmpppplllleeeettttiiiioooonnnn ((((OOOOffffffff)))) If set to OOOOnnnn, readline will inhibit word completion.

There are four parser directives used. $$$$iiiiffff The $$$$iiiiffff construct allows bindings to be made based on the editing mode, the terminal being used, or the application using readline. The text of the test extends to the end of the line; no characters are required to isolate it. mmmmooooddddeeee The mmmmooooddddeeee==== form of the $$$$iiiiffff directive is used to test whether readline is in emacs or vi mode. This may be used in conjunction with the sssseeeetttt kkkkeeeeyyyymmmmaaaapppp command, for instance, to set bindings in the _e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d and _e_m_a_c_s-_c_t_l_x keymaps only if readline is starting out in emacs mode. tttteeeerrrrmmmm The tttteeeerrrrmmmm==== form may be used to include terminal- specific key bindings, perhaps to bind the key sequences output by the terminal's function keys. The word on the right side of the ==== is tested against the full name of the terminal and the portion of the terminal name before the first ----. This allows _s_u_n to match both _s_u_n and _s_u_n-_c_m_d, for instance. aaaapppppppplllliiiiccccaaaattttiiiioooonnnn The aaaapppppppplllliiiiccccaaaattttiiiioooonnnn construct is used to include application-specific settings. Each program using the readline library sets the _a_p_p_l_i_c_a_t_i_o_n _n_a_m_e, and an initialization file can test for a particular value. This could be used to bind key sequences to functions useful for a specific program. For instance, the following command adds a key sequence that quotes the current or previous word in Bash: $$$$iiiiffff bash # Quote the current or previous word "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\"" $$$$eeeennnnddddiiiiffff $$$$eeeennnnddddiiiiffff This command, as seen in the previous example, terminates an $$$$iiiiffff command. $$$$eeeellllsssseeee Commands in this branch of the $$$$iiiiffff directive are executed if the test fails.

For example, the following directive would read /_e_t_c/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c: $$$$iiiinnnncccclllluuuuddddeeee /_e_t_c/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c SSSSEEEEAAAARRRRCCCCHHHHIIIINNNNGGGG Readline provides commands for searching through the command history for lines containing a specified string. There are two search modes: _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t_a_l and _n_o_n-_i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t_a_l. Incremental searches begin before the user has finished typing the search string. As each character of the search string is typed, readline displays the next entry from the history matching the string typed so far. An incremental search requires only as many characters as needed to find the desired history entry. The characters present in the value of the _i_s_e_a_r_c_h-_t_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_o_r_s variable are used to terminate an incremental search. If that variable has not been assigned a value the Escape and Control-J characters will terminate an incremental search. Control-G will abort an incremental search and restore the original line. When the search is terminated, the history entry containing the search string becomes the current line. To find other matching entries in the history list, type Control-S or Control-R as appropriate. This will search backward or forward in the history for the next line matching the search string typed so far. Any other key sequence bound to a readline command will terminate the search and execute that command. For instance, a _n_e_w_l_i_n_e will terminate the search and accept the line, thereby executing the command from the history list. Non-incremental searches read the entire search string before starting to search for matching history lines. The search string may be typed by the user or be part of the contents of the current line.
