| 1 The files in this directory provide simple line-editing and history | |
| 2 support for the standalone javascript engine, through the 'editline' | |
| 3 library. | |
| 4 | |
| 5 editline has only been enabled for those platforms on which it is | |
| 6 known to build; to try it on a different platform, define JS_EDITLINE | |
| 7 before building. Line editing (and js.c) is not a supported feature | |
| 8 of the javascript library, so your mileage my vary. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 The editline API is a compatible subset of the FSF readline API; if | |
| 11 you have readline installed and would like to link to that instead, | |
| 12 define JS_READLINE. Note that the readline library is distributed | |
| 13 under the GPL, so any resulting binaries are not legally | |
| 14 distributable. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 The editline files used here have been modified to work with the js | |
| 17 build system and to quiet some compiler warnings, and also to remove | |
| 18 filename-completion support. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 If anyone knows of a more recent version of these files, or a site on | |
| 21 which they are being maintained, please let me know! | |

| 26 The original README file distributed with the editline library follows. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 This is a line-editing library. It can be linked into almost any | |
| 31 program to provide command-line editing and recall. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a | |
| 34 fraction of the size (and offers fewer features). It does not use | |
| 35 standard I/O. It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Configuration is done in the Makefile. Type "make testit" to get | |
| 38 a small slow shell for testing. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal | |
| 41 changes over that version include: | |
| 42 Faster. | |
| 43 Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu) | |
| 44 Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings) | |
| 45 Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes | |
| 46 Doesn't need or use or provide memmove. | |
| 47 More robust | |
| 48 Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline. | |
| 49 Test program, new manpage, better configuration | |
| 50 More system-independent; includes Unix and OS-9 support. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc: | |
| 53 Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames. | |
| 54 Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars. | |
| 55 Better signal handling. | |
| 56 Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's. | |
| 57 Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 There is one known bug: | |
| 60 History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text | |
| 61 retrieved is shorter then the prompt. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Enjoy, | |
