FYI,
I've committed the attatched. The generated man page is removed by
distclean and generated by the Makefile. of course the next readline
import could change all that.

-
- DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
- rreeaaddlliinnee will read a line from the terminal and return it,
- using pprroommpptt as a prompt. If pprroommpptt 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.
-
- rreeaaddlliinnee 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.
-
- RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
- rreeaaddlliinnee returns the text of the line read. A blank line
- returns the empty string. If EEOOFF is encountered while
- reading a line, and the line is empty, NNUULLLL is returned.
- If an EEOOFF is read with a non-empty line, it is treated as
- a newline.
-
- NNOOTTAATTIIOONN
- An emacs-style notation is used to denote keystrokes.
- Control keys are denoted by C-_k_e_y, e.g., C-n means Con-
- trol-N. Similarly, _m_e_t_a keys are denoted by M-_k_e_y, so M-x
- means 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 Con-
- trol key while pressing the _x key.)
-
- Readline commands may be given numeric _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s, which
- normally act as a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is
- the sign of the argument that is significant. Passing a
- negative argument to a command that acts in the forward
- direction (e.g., kkiillll--lliinnee) causes that command to act in
- a backward direction. Commands whose behavior with argu-
- ments deviates from this are noted.
-
- When a command is described as _k_i_l_l_i_n_g text, the text
-
-
-

-
-
-
- READLINE(3) READLINE(3)
-
-
- 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.
-
- IINNIITTIIAALLIIZZAATTIIOONN FFIILLEE
- Readline is customized by putting commands in an initial-
- ization file (the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file). The name of this file is
- taken from the value of the IINNPPUUTTRRCC environment variable.
- If that variable is unset, the default is _~_/_._i_n_p_u_t_r_c.
- When a program which uses the readline 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 program using this
- library may add its own commands and bindings.
-
- 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).
-
-
- KKeeyy BBiinnddiinnggss
- The syntax for controlling key bindings in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c
- file is simple. All that is required is the name of the
- command or the text of a macro and a key sequence to which
- it should be bound. 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 kkeeyynnaammee:_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 uunniivveerr--
- ssaall--aarrgguummeenntt, _M_-_D_E_L is bound to the function bbaacckk--
- wwaarrdd--kkiillll--wwoorrdd, 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, ""kkeeyysseeqq"":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, kkeeyy--
- sseeqq differs from kkeeyynnaammee 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 uunnii--
- vveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt. _C_-_x _C_-_r is bound to the function
- rree--rreeaadd--iinniitt--ffiillee, and _E_S_C _[ _1 _1 _~ is bound to insert the
- text FFuunnccttiioonn KKeeyy 11. The full set of GNU Emacs style
- escape sequences is
- \\CC-- control prefix
- \\MM-- meta prefix
- \\ee an escape character
- \\\\ backslash
- \\"" literal "
- \\'' literal '
-
- In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a
- second set of backslash escapes is available:
- \\aa alert (bell)
- \\bb backspace
- \\dd delete
- \\ff form feed
- \\nn newline
- \\rr carriage return
- \\tt horizontal tab
- \\vv vertical tab
- \\_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the octal
- value _n_n_n (one to three digits)
- \\xx_n_n_n the character whose ASCII code is the hex-
- adecimal value _n_n_n (one to three digits)
-
- 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. In the macro body,
- the backslash escapes described above are expanded. Back-
- slash will quote any other character in the macro text,
- including " and '.
-
- BBaasshh allows the current readline key bindings to be dis-
- played or modified with the bbiinndd builtin command. The
- editing mode may be switched during interactive use by
- using the --oo option to the sseett builtin command. 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 bind-
- ings.

- VVaarriiaabblleess
- Readline has variables that can be used to further cus-
- tomize its behavior. A variable may be set in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c
- file with a statement of the form
-
- sseett _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
- OOnn or OOffff. The variables and their default values are:
-
- bbeellll--ssttyyllee ((aauuddiibbllee))
- Controls what happens when readline wants to ring
- the terminal bell. If set to nnoonnee, readline never
- rings the bell. If set to vviissiibbllee, readline uses a
- visible bell if one is available. If set to aauuddii--
- bbllee, readline attempts to ring the terminal's bell.
- ccoommmmeenntt--bbeeggiinn ((````##''''))
- The string that is inserted in vvii mode when the
- iinnsseerrtt--ccoommmmeenntt command is executed. This command
- is bound to MM--## in emacs mode and to ## in vi com-
- mand mode.
- ccoommpplleettiioonn--iiggnnoorree--ccaassee ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, readline performs filename matching
- and completion in a case-insensitive fashion.
- ccoommpplleettiioonn--qquueerryy--iitteemmss ((110000))
- This determines when the user is queried about
- viewing the number of possible completions gener-
- ated by the ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss 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 vari-
- able, the user is asked whether or not he wishes to
- view them; otherwise they are simply listed on the
- terminal.
- ccoonnvveerrtt--mmeettaa ((OOnn))
- If set to OOnn, 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).
- ddiissaabbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonn ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, readline will inhibit word comple-
- tion. Completion characters will be inserted into
- the line as if they had been mapped to sseellff--iinnsseerrtt.
- eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee ((eemmaaccss))
- Controls whether readline begins with a set of key
- bindings similar to _e_m_a_c_s or _v_i. eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee can
- be set to either eemmaaccss or vvii.
- eennaabbllee--kkeeyyppaadd ((OOffff))
- When set to OOnn, readline will try to enable the
- application keypad when it is called. Some systems
- need this to enable the arrow keys.
- eexxppaanndd--ttiillddee ((OOffff))
- If set to oonn, tilde expansion is performed when
-

- readline attempts word completion.
- hhoorriizzoonnttaall--ssccrroollll--mmooddee ((OOffff))
- When set to OOnn, 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.
- iinnppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, readline will enable eight-bit input
- (that is, it will not strip the high bit from the
- characters it reads), regardless of what the termi-
- nal claims it can support. The name mmeettaa--ffllaagg is a
- synonym for this variable.
- iisseeaarrcchh--tteerrmmiinnaattoorrss ((````CC--[[CC--JJ''''))
- The string of characters that should terminate an
- incremental search without subsequently executing
- the character as a command. If this variable has
- not been given a value, the characters _E_S_C and _C_-_J
- will terminate an incremental search.
- kkeeyymmaapp ((eemmaaccss))
- Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal
- keymap 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 eeddiittiinngg--mmooddee also affects the default
- keymap.
- mmaarrkk--ddiirreeccttoorriieess ((OOnn))
- If set to OOnn, complete<d directory names have a
- slash appended.
- mmaarrkk--mmooddiiffiieedd--lliinneess ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, history lines that have been modified
- are displayed with a preceding asterisk (**).
- oouuttppuutt--mmeettaa ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, readline will display characters with
- the eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta-
- prefixed escape sequence.
- pprriinntt--ccoommpplleettiioonnss--hhoorriizzoonnttaallllyy ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, readline will display completions
- with matches sorted horizontally in alphabetical
- order, rather than down the screen.
- sshhooww--aallll--iiff--aammbbiigguuoouuss ((OOffff))
- This alters the default behavior of the completion
- functions. If set to oonn, words which have more
- than one possible completion cause the matches to
- be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell.
- vviissiibbllee--ssttaattss ((OOffff))
- If set to OOnn, a character denoting a file's type as
- reported by ssttaatt(2) is appended to the filename
- when listing possible completions.
-
- CCoonnddiittiioonnaall CCoonnssttrruuccttss
- Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the

- which allows key bindings and variable settings to be

-
-
- performed as the result of tests. There are four parser
- directives used.
-
- $$iiff The $$iiff 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.
-
- mmooddee The mmooddee== form of the $$iiff directive is used
- to test whether readline is in emacs or vi
- mode. This may be used in conjunction with
- the sseett kkeeyymmaapp command, for instance, to set
- bindings in the _e_m_a_c_s_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d and _e_m_a_c_s_-
- _c_t_l_x keymaps only if readline is starting
- out in emacs mode.
-
- tteerrmm The tteerrmm== form may be used to include termi-
- nal-specific key bindings, perhaps to bind
- the key sequences output by the terminal's
- function keys. The word on the right side
- of the == is tested against the full name of
- the terminal and the portion of the terminal
- name before the first --. This allows _s_u_n to
- match both _s_u_n and _s_u_n_-_c_m_d, for instance.
-
- aapppplliiccaattiioonn
- The aapppplliiccaattiioonn construct is used to include
- application-specific settings. Each program
- using the readline library sets the _a_p_p_l_i_c_a_-
- _t_i_o_n _n_a_m_e, and an initialization file can
- test for a particular value. This could be
- used to bind key sequences to functions use-
- ful for a specific program. For instance,
- the following command adds a key sequence
- that quotes the current or previous word in
- Bash:
-
- $$iiff bash
- # Quote the current or previous word
- "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\""
- $$eennddiiff
-
- $$eennddiiff This command, as seen in the previous example, ter-
- minates an $$iiff command.
-
- $$eellssee Commands in this branch of the $$iiff directive are
- executed if the test fails.
-
- $$iinncclluuddee
- This directive takes a single filename as an argu-
- ment and reads commands and bindings from that
- file. For example, the following directive would
- read _/_e_t_c_/_i_n_p_u_t_r_c:

-
- SSEEAARRCCHHIINNGG
- Readline provides commands for searching through the com-
- mand history for lines containing a specified string.
- There are two search modes: _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t_a_l and _n_o_n_-_i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_-
- _t_a_l.
-
- Incremental searches begin before the user has finished
- typing the search string. As each character of the search
- string is typed, readline displays the next entry from the
- history matching the string typed so far. An incremental
- search requires only as many characters as needed to find
- the desired history entry. The characters present in the
- value of the _i_s_e_a_r_c_h_-_t_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_o_r_s variable are used to ter-
- minate an incremental search. If that variable has not
- been assigned a value the Escape and Control-J characters
- will terminate an incremental search. Control-G will
- abort an incremental search and restore the original line.
- When the search is terminated, the history entry contain-
- ing the search string becomes the current line. To find
- other matching entries in the history list, type Control-S
- or Control-R as appropriate. This will search backward or
- forward in the history for the next line matching the
- search string typed so far. Any other key sequence bound
- to a readline command will terminate the search and exe-
- cute that command. For instance, a _n_e_w_l_i_n_e will terminate
- the search and accept the line, thereby executing the com-
- mand from the history list.
-
- Non-incremental searches read the entire search string
- before starting to search for matching history lines. The
- search string may be typed by the user or be part of the
- contents of the current line.

- ddiiggiitt--aarrgguummeenntt ((MM--00,, MM--11,, ......,, MM----))
- Add this digit to the argument already accumulat-
- ing, or start a new argument. M-- starts a nega-
- tive argument.
- uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt
- This is another way to specify an argument. If
- this command is followed by one or more digits,
- optionally with a leading minus sign, those digits
- define the argument. If the command is followed by
- digits, executing uunniivveerrssaall--aarrgguummeenntt again ends the
- numeric argument, but is otherwise ignored. As a
- special case, if this command is immediately fol-
- lowed by a character that is neither a digit or
- minus sign, the argument count for the next command
- is multiplied by four. The argument count is ini-
- tially one, so executing this function the first
- time makes the argument count four, a second time
- makes the argument count sixteen, and so on.
-
- CCoommpplleettiinngg
- ccoommpplleettee ((TTAABB))
- Attempt to perform completion on the text before
- point. The actual completion performed is applica-
- tion-specific. BBaasshh, for instance, attempts com-
- pletion treating the text as a variable (if the
- text begins with $$), username (if the text begins
- with ~~), hostname (if the text begins with @@), or
- command (including aliases and functions) in turn.
- If none of these produces a match, filename comple-
- tion is attempted. GGddbb, on the other hand, allows
- completion of program functions and variables, and
- only attempts filename completion under certain
- circumstances.
- ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommpplleettiioonnss ((MM--??))
- List the possible completions of the text before
- point.
- iinnsseerrtt--ccoommpplleettiioonnss ((MM--**))
- Insert all completions of the text before point
- that would have been generated by ppoossssiibbllee--ccoommppllee--
- ttiioonnss.
- mmeennuu--ccoommpplleettee
- Similar to ccoommpplleettee, but replaces the word to be
- completed with a single match from the list of pos-
- sible completions. Repeated execution of mmeennuu--ccoomm--
- pplleettee steps through the list of possible comple-
- tions, inserting each match in turn. At the end of
- the list of completions, the bell is rung and the
- original text is restored. An argument of _n moves
- _n positions forward in the list of matches; a nega-
- tive argument may be used to move backward through
- the list. This command is intended to be bound to
- TTAABB, but is unbound by default.

- The following is a list of the default emacs and vi bind-

- M-<character>, and are referred to as _m_e_t_a_f_i_e_d characters.
- The printable ASCII characters not mentioned in the list
- of emacs standard bindings are bound to the _s_e_l_f_-_i_n_s_e_r_t
- function, which just inserts the given character into the
- input line. In vi insertion mode, all characters not
- specifically mentioned are bound to _s_e_l_f_-_i_n_s_e_r_t. Charac-
- ters assigned to signal generation by _s_t_t_y(1) or the ter-
- minal driver, such as C-Z or C-C, retain that function.
- Upper and lower case _m_e_t_a_f_i_e_d characters are bound to the
- same function in the emacs mode meta keymap. The remain-
- ing characters are unbound, which causes readline to ring
- the bell (subject to the setting of the bbeellll--ssttyyllee vari-
