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

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