Our libedit has been diverging from the mainstream version maintained in NetBSD. As a consequence it has been difficult to do an appropriate MFV and we have been bringing only partial updates. Here we update most of the files to at least match the version available in NetBSD's snapshot of 20091228. This version was chosen because it still doesn't include wide character support (UTF-8), which involves many changes and new files. From NetBSD's logs: Dec 15 22:13:33 2006 - editline.3 el.c el.h histedit.h add EL_GETFP, and EL_SETFP. Apr 5 15:53:28 2008 - editline.3 el.c histedit.h readline.c add EL_REFRESH for the benefit of readline Sep 10 15:45:37 2008 - common.c el.c read.c refresh.c sig.c term.c term.h tty.c Allow a single process to control multiple ttys (for pthreads using _REENTRANT) using multiple EditLine objects. Jan 18 12:17:24 2009 - el.c read.c readline.c fix -Wsign-compare issues Feb 6 14:40:32 2009 - history.c Plug memory leak, from MySQL. Feb 5 19:15:44 2009 - histedit.h read.c match documentation in el_push Feb 6 13:14:37 2009 - vi.c Portability fix. Feb 12 13:39:49 2009 - readline.c term.c More fixes for existing portability stuff. Feb 15 21:24:13 2009 - el.h read.c don't restart on EINTR, instead return NULL immediately. From Anon Ymous Feb 15 21:25:01 2009 - sig.c sig.h in order for read() to return EINTR we need to use sigaction, not signal, otherwise SA_RESTART is set. Feb 15 21:55:23 2009 - chared.c chared.h common.c emacs.c filecomplete.c filecomplete.h key.c key.h read.c readline.c refresh.c search.c term.c tokenizer.c tty.c vi.c pass lint on _LP64. Feb 17 21:34:26 2009 - el.c histedit.h prompt.c prompt.h allow for a prompt argument. Feb 18 15:04:40 2009 - sig.c SA_RESTART for all signals but SIGINT. From Anon Ymous. Feb 19 15:20:22 2009 - read.c sig.c sig.h reset and redraw on sigcont. From Anon Ymous. Feb 21 23:31:56 2009 - key.c key.h readline.c vi.c more size_t stuff. Mar 10 20:46:15 2009 - editline.3 read.c make el_gets set the count to -1 on error to distinguish between EOF and error. Mar 31 17:38:27 2009 - editline.3 el.c histedit.h prompt.c prompt.h refresh.c term.c term.h Implement literal prompt sequences. Now someone can implement RL_PROMPT_START_LITERAL/RL_PROMPT_END_LITERAL :-) Mar 31 21:33:17 2009 - term.c cast to size_t to avoid sign / unsigned comparison warning. Apr 23 02:03 2009 - term.c Apply patch (requested by msaitoh in ticket #2007): Coverity CID 1668: Plug memory leak when malloc() failed.:55 2009 May 11 18:33:30 2009 - editline.3 el.c histedit.h restore binary compatibility by providing new prompt functions that take an extra literal character. May 19 21:45:14 2009 - refresh.c always scroll when we advance past bottom. From Caleb Welton cwelton at greenplum dot com. Jul 17 12:27:57 2009 - term.c - off by one in the term.h case. - make code more similar to tcsh (if we want to handle wide chars, this is needed; for now it is a no-op) Jul 22 15:56:29 2009 - el.c Move filename to the scope it is being used. From Michael Cook mcook at bbn dot com Jul 22 15:57:00 2009 - read.c Always initialize nread since it is an out param.

.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
|
|

.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

|
.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

|
|
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
|
|
