NAME
libtecla - interactive command line input library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ltecla [ library... ]
#include <libtecla.h>
DESCRIPTION
This library provides programs with interactive command line editing facilities, similar to those of the UNIX tcsh shell. In addition to
simple command-line editing, it supports recall of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names or other tokens, and in-
line wildcard expansion of filenames. The internal functions that perform file-name completion and wild-card expansion are also available
externally for optional use by the calling program.
Thread Safety
The terminfo functions setupterm(3CURSES), tigetstr(3CURSES), tigetnum(3CURSES), and tputs(3CURSES) are not reentrant. This condition, how-
ever, should not prevent use of this library in threaded applications, since few applications will want to interact with multiple termi-
nals.
