If prompt 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. - - readline 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. - - In the following descriptions, keymap can be one of - _e_m_a_c_s__k_e_y_m_a_p, _e_m_a_c_s__m_e_t_a__k_e_y_m_a_p, _e_m_a_c_s__c_t_l_x__k_e_y_m_a_p, - _v_i__i_n_s_e_r_t_i_o_n__k_e_y_m_a_p, _o_r _v_i__m_o_v_e_m_e_n_t__k_e_y_m_a_p. - - rl_add_defun makes name appear as a bindable readline com- - mand, and makes function be the function called when that - command is invoked.

Con- - trol 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 - - - -GNU Last change: 1994 July 26 3 - - - - - - -READLINE(3) C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS READLINE(3) - - - - 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 nor- - mally act as a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is the - sign of the argument that is significant. Passing a nega- - tive argument to a command that acts in the forward direc- - tion (e.g., kill-line) causes that command to act in a back- - ward direction. Commands whose behavior with arguments - deviates from this are noted. - - 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. - -INITIALIZATION FILE - Readline is customized by putting commands in an initializa- - tion file. The name of this file is taken from the value of - the INPUTRC variable. If that variable is unset, the - default is ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c. When a program which uses the read- - line 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 pro- - gram using this library may add its own commands and bind- - ings. - - 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). - - Key Bindings - The syntax for controlling key bindings in the ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c - file is simple.

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 - keyname:_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 - universal-argument, _M-_D_E_L is bound to the function - backward-kill-word, and _C-_o is bound to run the macro - 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, "keyseq":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, keyseq - differs from keyname 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 - universal-argument. _C-_x _C-_r is bound to the function - re-read-init-file, and _E_S_C [ _1 _1 ~ is bound to insert the - text Function Key 1. The full set of escape sequences is - - \C- control prefix - - \M- meta prefix - - \e an escape character - - \\ backslash - - " \" literal " - - \' literal ' - - 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.

Other programs - using this library provide similar mechanisms. 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. - - Variables - 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 - - set _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 - On or Off. The variables and their default values are: - - horizontal-scroll-mode (Off) - When set to On, makes readline use a single line for - display, scrolling the input horizontally on a single - screen line when it becomes longer than the screen - width rather than wrapping to a new line. - editing-mode (emacs) - Controls whether readline begins with a set of key - bindings similar to _e_m_a_c_s or _v_i. editing-mode can be - set to either emacs or vi. - mark-modified-lines (Off) - If set to On, history lines that have been modified are - displayed with a preceding asterisk (*). - bell-style (audible) - Controls what happens when readline wants to ring the - terminal bell. If set to none, readline never rings - the bell. If set to visible, readline uses a visible - bell if one is available. If set to audible, readline - attempts to ring the terminal's bell. - comment-begin (``#'') - The string that is inserted in vi mode when the - vi-comment command is executed. - meta-flag (Off) - If set to On, readline will enable eight-bit input - (that is, it will not strip the high bit from the char- - acters it reads), regardless of what the terminal - claims it can support. - convert-meta (On) - If set to On, 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). - output-meta (Off) - If set to On, readline will display characters with the - eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta-prefixed - escape sequence. - completion-query-items (100) - This determines when the user is queried about viewing - - - -GNU Last change: 1994 July 26 6 - - - - - - -READLINE(3) C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS READLINE(3) - - - - the number of possible completions generated by the - possible-completions command. 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. - keymap (emacs) - Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal key- - map names is _e_m_a_c_s, _e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d, _e_m_a_c_s-_m_e_t_a, _e_m_a_c_s- - _c_t_l_x, _v_i, _v_i-_m_o_v_e, _v_i-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d, and _v_i-_i_n_s_e_r_t. _v_i is - equivalent to _v_i-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d; _e_m_a_c_s is equivalent to - _e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d. The default value is _e_m_a_c_s; the value - of editing-mode also affects the default keymap. - show-all-if-ambiguous (Off) - This alters the default behavior of the completion - functions. If set to on, words which have more than - one possible completion cause the matches to be listed - immediately instead of ringing the bell. - expand-tilde (Off) - If set to on, tilde expansion is performed when read- - line attempts word completion. - - Conditional Constructs - Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the con- - ditional compilation features of the C preprocessor which - allows key bindings and variable settings to be performed as - the result of tests. There are three parser directives - used. - - $if The $if 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. - - mode The mode= form of the $if directive is used to - test whether readline is in emacs or vi mode. - This may be used in conjunction with the set key- - map 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. - - term The term= 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 por- - tion 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. - - - - -GNU Last change: 1994 July 26 7 - - - - - - -READLINE(3) C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS READLINE(3) - - - - application - The application 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 particu- - lar value. This could be used to bind key - sequences to functions useful for a specific pro- - gram. For instance, the following command adds a - key sequence that quotes the current or previous - word in Bash: - $if bash - # Quote the current or previous word - "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\"" - $endif - - $endif - This command, as you saw in the previous example, ter- - minates an $if command. - - $else - Commands in this branch of the $if directive are exe- - cuted if the test fails. - -EDITING COMMANDS - The following is a list of the names of the commands and the - default key sequences to which they are bound. - - Commands for Moving - beginning-of-line (C-a) - Move to the start of the current line. - end-of-line (C-e) - Move to the end of the line. - forward-char (C-f) - Move forward a character. - backward-char (C-b) - Move back a character. - forward-word (M-f) - Move forward to the end of the next word.
