bin/sh has been taught about el_gets setting the count to -1 on error, so now we can partially revert r238173 to reduce differences with NetBSD's implementation. Unfortunately NetBSD's libedit handling of EINTR (Revision 1.44 in read.c + SIGWINCH fixes) still causes trouble in bin/sh and other utilities and has to be avoided. MFC after: 1 month

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library provides generic line editing, history and tokenization functions,
|
|
similar to those found in
|
|
.Xr sh 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These functions are available in the
|
|
.Nm libedit
|
|
library (which needs the
|
|
.Nm libtermcap
|
|
library).
|
|
Programs should be linked with
|
|
.Fl ledit ltermcap .
|
|
.Sh LINE EDITING FUNCTIONS
|
|
The line editing functions use a common data structure,
|
|
.Fa EditLine ,
|
|
which is created by
|
|
.Fn el_init
|
|
and freed by
|
|
.Fn el_end .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following functions are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Fn el_init
|
|
Initialise the line editor, and return a data structure
|
|
to be used by all other line editing functions.
|
|
.Fa prog
|
|
is the name of the invoking program, used when reading the
|
|
.Xr editrc 5
|
|
file to determine which settings to use.
|
|
.Fa fin ,
|
|
.Fa fout
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa ferr
|
|
are the input, output, and error streams (respectively) to use.
|
|
In this documentation, references to
|
|
.Dq the tty
|
|
are actually to this input/output stream combination.
|
|
.It Fn el_end
|
|
Clean up and finish with
|
|
.Fa e ,
|
|
assumed to have been created with
|
|
.Fn el_init .
|
|
.It Fn el_reset
|
|
Reset the tty and the parser.
|
|
This should be called after an error which may have upset the tty's
|
|
state.
|
|
.It Fn el_gets
|
|
Read a line from the tty.
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
is modified to contain the number of characters read.
|
|
Returns the line read if successful, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if no characters were read or if an error occurred.
|
|
If an error occurred,
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
is set to \-1 and
|
|
.Dv errno
|
|
contains the error code that caused it.
|
|
The return value may not remain valid across calls to
|
|
.Fn el_gets
|
|
and must be copied if the data is to be retained.
|
|
.It Fn el_getc
|
|
Read a character from the tty.
|
|
.Fa ch
|
|
is modified to contain the character read.
|
|
Returns the number of characters read if successful, \-1 otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn el_push
|
|
Pushes
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
back onto the input stream.
|
|
This is used by the macro expansion mechanism.
|
|
Refer to the description of
|
|
.Ic bind
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr editrc 5
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Fn el_parse
|
|
Parses the
|
|
.Fa argv
|
|
array (which is
|
|
.Fa argc
|
|
elements in size)
|
|
to execute builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands.
|
|
If the command is prefixed with
|
|
.Dq prog:
|
|
then
|
|
.Fn el_parse
|
|
will only execute the command if
|
|
.Dq prog
|
|
matches the
|
|
.Fa prog
|
|
argument supplied to
|
|
.Fn el_init .
|
|
The return value is
|
|
\-1 if the command is unknown,
|
|
0 if there was no error or
|
|
.Dq prog
|
|
did not match, or
|
|
1 if the command returned an error.
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Xr editrc 5
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Fn el_set
|
|
Set
|
|
.Nm
|
|
parameters.
|
|
.Fa op
|
|
determines which parameter to set, and each operation has its
|
|
own parameter list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following values for
|
|
.Fa op
|
|
are supported, along with the required argument list:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Dv EL_PROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)"
|
|
Define prompt printing function as
|
|
.Fa f ,
|
|
which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
|
|
.It Dv EL_PROMPT_ESC , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char c"
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Dv EL_PROMPT ,
|
|
but the
|
|
.Fa c
|
|
argument indicates the start/stop literal prompt character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a start/stop literal character is found in the prompt, the
|
|
character itself
|
|
is not printed, but characters after it are printed directly to the
|
|
terminal without affecting the state of the current line.
|
|
A subsequent second start/stop literal character ends this behavior.
|
|
This is typically used to embed literal escape sequences that change the
|
|
color/style of the terminal in the prompt.
|
|
.Dv 0
|
|
unsets it.
|
|
.It Dv EL_REFRESH
|
|
Re-display the current line on the next terminal line.
|
|
.It Dv EL_RPROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)"
|
|
Define right side prompt printing function as
|
|
.Fa f ,
|
|
which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
|
|
.It Dv EL_RPROMPT_ESC , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char c"
|
|
Define the right prompt printing function but with a literal escape character.
|
|
.It Dv EL_TERMINAL , Fa "const char *type"
|
|
Define terminal type of the tty to be
|
|
.Fa type ,
|
|
or to
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
if
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It Dv EL_EDITOR , Fa "const char *mode"
|
|
Set editing mode to
|
|
.Fa mode ,
|
|
which must be one of
|
|
.Dq emacs
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq vi .
|
|
.It Dv EL_SIGNAL , Fa "int flag"
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
is non-zero,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will install its own signal handler for the following signals when
|
|
reading command input:
|
|
.Dv SIGCONT ,
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP ,
|
|
.Dv SIGINT ,
|
|
.Dv SIGQUIT ,
|
|
.Dv SIGSTOP ,
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM ,
|
|
.Dv SIGTSTP ,
|
|
and
|

|
.Ic bind
|
|
builtin command.

.Fa name
|
|
is entered.
|
|
.Fa help
|
|
is a description of
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
At invocation time,
|
|
.Fa ch
|
|
is the key which caused the invocation.
|
|
The return value of

|
.Fn history_init .
|
|
.It Dv EL_EDITMODE , Fa "int flag"
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa flag
|
|
is non-zero,
|
|
editing is enabled (the default).
|
|
Note that this is only an indication, and does not
|
|
affect the operation of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
At this time, it is the caller's responsibility to
|
|
check this
|
|
(using

The

.An Christos Zoulas .

wrote this manual and implemented

.Sh BUGS
|
|
At this time, it is the responsibility of the caller to
|
|
check the result of the
|
|
.Dv EL_EDITMODE
|
|
operation of
|
|
.Fn el_get
|
|
(after an
|
|
.Fn el_source
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn el_parse )
|
|
to determine if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be used for further input.
|
|
I.e.,
|
|
.Dv EL_EDITMODE
|
|
is purely an indication of the result of the most recent
|
|
.Xr editrc 5
|
|
.Ic edit
|
|
command.
