Functions that you can use. +* History Variables:: Variables that control behaviour. +* History Programming Example:: Example of using the GNU History Library. +@end menu + +@node Introduction to History +@section Introduction to History + +Many programs read input from the user a line at a time. The GNU History +library is able to keep track of those lines, associate arbitrary data with +each line, and utilize information from previous lines in composing new +ones. + +The programmer using the History library has available functions +for remembering lines on a history list, associating arbitrary data +with a line, removing lines from the list, searching through the list +for a line containing an arbitrary text string, and referencing any line +in the list directly. In addition, a history @dfn{expansion} function +is available which provides for a consistent user interface across +different programs. + +The user using programs written with the History library has the +benefit of a consistent user interface with a set of well-known +commands for manipulating the text of previous lines and using that text +in new commands. The basic history manipulation commands are similar to +the history substitution provided by @code{csh}. + +If the programmer desires, he can use the Readline library, which +includes some history manipulation by default, and has the added +advantage of command line editing. + +@node History Storage +@section History Storage + +The history list is an array of history entries. A history entry is +declared as follows: + +@example +typedef struct _hist_entry @{ + char *line; + char *data; +@} HIST_ENTRY; +@end example + +The history list itself might therefore be declared as + +@example +HIST_ENTRY **the_history_list; +@end example + +The state of the History library is encapsulated into a single structure: + +@example +/* A structure used to pass the current state of the history stuff around. */ +typedef struct _hist_state @{ + HIST_ENTRY **entries; /* Pointer to the entries themselves. */ + int offset; /* The location pointer within this array. */ + int length; /* Number of elements within this array. */ + int size; /* Number of slots allocated to this array. */ + int flags; +@} HISTORY_STATE; +@end example + +If the flags member includes @code{HS_STIFLED}, the history has been +stifled. + +@node History Functions +@section History Functions + +This section describes the calling sequence for the various functions +present in GNU History. + +@menu +* Initializing History and State Management:: Functions to call when you + want to use history in a + program. +* History List Management:: Functions used to manage the list + of history entries. +* Information About the History List:: Functions returning information about + the history list. +* Moving Around the History List:: Functions used to change the position + in the history list. +* Searching the History List:: Functions to search the history list + for entries containing a string. +* Managing the History File:: Functions that read and write a file + containing the history list. +* History Expansion:: Functions to perform csh-like history + expansion. +@end menu + +@node Initializing History and State Management +@subsection Initializing History and State Management + +This section describes functions used to initialize and manage +the state of the History library when you want to use the history +functions in your program. + +@deftypefun void using_history () +Begin a session in which the history functions might be used.

The text of the last +@code{HISTSIZE} +commands (default 500) is saved in a history list. The shell +stores each command in the history list prior to parameter and +variable expansion +but after history expansion is performed, subject to the +values of the shell variables +@code{HISTIGNORE} and @code{HISTCONTROL}. +When the shell starts up, the history is initialized from the +file named by the @code{HISTFILE} variable (default @file{~/.bash_history}). +@code{HISTFILE} is truncated, if necessary, to contain no more than +the number of lines specified by the value of the @code{HISTFILESIZE} +variable. When an interactive shell exits, the last +@code{HISTSIZE} lines are copied from the history list to @code{HISTFILE}. +If the @code{histappend} shell option is set (@pxref{Bash Builtins}), +the lines are appended to the history file, +otherwise the history file is overwritten. +If @code{HISTFILE} +is unset, or if the history file is unwritable, the history is +not saved. After saving the history, the history file is truncated +to contain no more than @code{$HISTFILESIZE} +lines. If @code{HISTFILESIZE} is not set, no truncation is performed. + +The builtin command @code{fc} may be used to list or edit and re-execute +a portion of the history list. +The @code{history} builtin can be used to display or modify the history +list and manipulate the history file. +When using the command-line editing, search commands +are available in each editing mode that provide access to the +history list. + +The shell allows control over which commands are saved on the history +list. The @code{HISTCONTROL} and @code{HISTIGNORE} +variables may be set to cause the shell to save only a subset of the +commands entered. +The @code{cmdhist} +shell option, if enabled, causes the shell to attempt to save each +line of a multi-line command in the same history entry, adding +semicolons where necessary to preserve syntactic correctness. +The @code{lithist} +shell option causes the shell to save the command with embedded newlines +instead of semicolons. +@xref{Bash Builtins}, for a description of @code{shopt}. + +@node Bash History Builtins +@section Bash History Builtins +@cindex history builtins + +Bash provides two builtin commands that allow you to manipulate the +history list and history file. + +@table @code + +@item fc +@comment btindex fc +@example +@code{fc [-e @var{ename}] [-nlr] [@var{first}] [@var{last}]} +@code{fc -s [@var{pat}=@var{rep}] [@var{command}]} +@end example + +Fix Command. In the first form, a range of commands from @var{first} to +@var{last} is selected from the history list. Both @var{first} and +@var{last} may be specified as a string (to locate the most recent +command beginning with that string) or as a number (an index into the +history list, where a negative number is used as an offset from the +current command number). If @var{last} is not specified it is set to +@var{first}. If @var{first} is not specified it is set to the previous +command for editing and @minus{}16 for listing. If the @samp{-l} flag is +given, the commands are listed on standard output. The @samp{-n} flag +suppresses the command numbers when listing. The @samp{-r} flag +reverses the order of the listing. Otherwise, the editor given by +@var{ename} is invoked on a file containing those commands. If +@var{ename} is not given, the value of the following variable expansion +is used: @code{$@{FCEDIT:-$@{EDITOR:-vi@}@}}. This says to use the +value of the @code{FCEDIT} variable if set, or the value of the +@code{EDITOR} variable if that is set, or @code{vi} if neither is set. +When editing is complete, the edited commands are echoed and executed. + +In the second form, @var{command} is re-executed after each instance +of @var{pat} in the selected command is replaced by @var{rep}. + +A useful alias to use with the @code{fc} command is @code{r='fc -s'}, so +that typing @samp{r cc} runs the last command beginning with @code{cc} +and typing @samp{r} re-executes the last command (@pxref{Aliases}). + +@item history +@comment btindex history +@example +history [-c] [@var{n}] +history [-anrw] [@var{filename}] +history -ps @var{arg} +@end example + +Display the history list with line numbers. Lines prefixed with +with a @samp{*} have been modified. An argument of @var{n} says +to list only the last @var{n} lines. Options, if supplied, have +the following meanings: + +@table @code +@item -w +Write out the current history to the history file. + +@item -r +Read the current history file and append its contents to +the history list. + +@item -a +Append the new +history lines (history lines entered since the beginning of the +current Bash session) to the history file. + +@item -n +Append the history lines not already read from the history file +to the current history list. These are lines appended to the history +file since the beginning of the current Bash session. + +@item -c +Clear the history list. This may be combined +with the other options to replace the history list completely. + +@item -s +The @var{arg}s are added to the end of +the history list as a single entry. + +@item -p +Perform history substitution on the @var{arg}s and display the result +on the standard output, without storing the results in the history list. +@end table + +When the @samp{-w}, @samp{-r}, @samp{-a}, or @samp{-n} option is +used, if @var{filename} +is given, then it is used as the history file. If not, then +the value of the @code{HISTFILE} variable is used. + +@end table +@end ifset + +@node History Interaction +@section History Expansion +@cindex history expansion + +The History library provides a history expansion feature that is similar +to the history expansion provided by @code{csh}. This section +describes the syntax used to manipulate the history information. + +History expansions introduce words from the history list into +the input stream, making it easy to repeat commands, insert the +arguments to a previous command into the current input line, or +fix errors in previous commands quickly. + +History expansion takes place in two parts. The first is to determine +which line from the history list should be used during substitution. +The second is to select portions of that line for inclusion into the +current one. The line selected from the history is called the +@dfn{event}, and the portions of that line that are acted upon are +called @dfn{words}. Various @dfn{modifiers} are available to manipulate +the selected words. The line is broken into words in the same fashion +that Bash does, so that several words +surrounded by quotes are considered one word. +History expansions are introduced by the appearance of the +history expansion character, which is @samp{!} by default. +@ifset BashFeatures +Only @samp{\} and @samp{'} may be used to escape the history expansion +character. +@end ifset + +@ifset BashFeatures +Several shell options settable with the @code{shopt} +builtin (@pxref{Bash Builtins}) may be used to tailor +the behavior of history expansion. If the +@code{histverify} shell option is enabled, and Readline +is being used, history substitutions are not immediately passed to +the shell parser. +Instead, the expanded line is reloaded into the Readline +editing buffer for further modification. +If Readline is being used, and the @code{histreedit} +shell option is enabled, a failed history expansion will be +reloaded into the Readline editing buffer for correction. +The @samp{-p} option to the @code{history} builtin command +may be used to see what a history expansion will do before using it. +The @samp{-s} option to the @code{history} builtin may be used to +add commands to the end of the history list without actually executing +them, so that they are available for subsequent recall. +This is most useful in conjunction with Readline. + +The shell allows control of the various characters used by the +history expansion mechanism with the @code{histchars} variable. +@end ifset + +@menu +* Event Designators:: How to specify which history line to use. +* Word Designators:: Specifying which words are of interest. +* Modifiers:: Modifying the results of substitution. +@end menu + +@node Event Designators +@subsection Event Designators +@cindex event designators + +An event designator is a reference to a command line entry in the +history list. +@cindex history events + +@table @asis + +@item @code{!} +Start a history substitution, except when followed by a space, tab, +the end of the line, @samp{=} or @samp{(}. + +@item @code{!@var{n}} +Refer to command line @var{n}. + +@item @code{!-@var{n}} +Refer to the command @var{n} lines back. + +@item @code{!!} +Refer to the previous command.

If +.B prompt +is null, no prompt is issued. The line returned is allocated with +.IR malloc (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. +.LP +.B 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. +.SH RETURN VALUE +.LP +.B readline +returns the text of the line read. A blank line +returns the empty string. If +.B EOF +is encountered while reading a line, and the line is empty, +.B NULL +is returned. If an +.B EOF +is read with a non\-empty line, it is +treated as a newline. +.SH NOTATION +.LP +An emacs-style notation is used to denote +keystrokes. Control keys are denoted by C\-\fIkey\fR, e.g., C\-n +means Control\-N. Similarly, +.I meta +keys are denoted by M\-\fIkey\fR, so M\-x means Meta\-X. (On keyboards +without a +.I meta +key, M\-\fIx\fP means ESC \fIx\fP, i.e., press the Escape key +then the +.I x +key. This makes ESC the \fImeta prefix\fP. +The combination M\-C\-\fIx\fP means ESC\-Control\-\fIx\fP, +or press the Escape key +then hold the Control key while pressing the +.I x +key.) +.PP +Readline commands may be given numeric +.IR arguments , +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., \fBkill\-line\fP) +causes that command to act in a backward direction. Commands whose +behavior with arguments deviates from this are noted. +.PP +When a command is described as \fIkilling\fP text, the text +deleted is saved for possible future retrieval +(\fIyanking\fP). The killed text is saved in a +\fIkill ring\fP. 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. +.SH INITIALIZATION FILE +.LP +Readline is customized by putting commands in an initialization +file (the \fIinputrc\fP file). +The name of this file is taken from the value of the +.B INPUTRC +environment variable. If that variable is unset, the default is +.IR ~/.inputrc . +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 \fB#\fP are comments. +Lines beginning with a \fB$\fP indicate conditional constructs. +Other lines denote key bindings and variable settings. +Each program using this library may add its own commands +and bindings. +.PP +For example, placing +.RS +.PP +M\-Control\-u: universal\-argument +.RE +or +.RS +C\-Meta\-u: universal\-argument +.RE +into the +.I inputrc +would make M\-C\-u execute the readline command +.IR universal\-argument . +.PP +The following symbolic character names are recognized while +processing key bindings: +.IR RUBOUT , +.IR DEL , +.IR ESC , +.IR LFD , +.IR NEWLINE , +.IR RET , +.IR RETURN , +.IR SPC , +.IR SPACE , +and +.IR TAB . +In addition to command names, readline allows keys to be bound +to a string that is inserted when the key is pressed (a \fImacro\fP). +.PP +.SS Key Bindings +.PP +The syntax for controlling key bindings in the +.I inputrc +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 \fIMeta\-\fP or \fIControl\-\fP +prefixes, or as a key sequence. +When using the form \fBkeyname\fP:\^\fIfunction-name\fP or \fImacro\fP, +.I keyname +is the name of a key spelled out in English. For example: +.sp +.RS +Control\-u: universal\-argument +.br +Meta\-Rubout: backward\-kill\-word +.br +Control\-o: ">&output" +.RE +.LP +In the above example, +.I C\-u +is bound to the function +.BR universal\-argument , +.I M-DEL +is bound to the function +.BR backward\-kill\-word , +and +.I C\-o +is bound to run the macro +expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the text +.I >&output +into the line). +.PP +In the second form, \fB"keyseq"\fP:\^\fIfunction\-name\fP or \fImacro\fP, +.B keyseq +differs from +.B 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. +.sp +.RS +"\eC\-u": universal\-argument +.br +"\eC\-x\eC\-r": re\-read\-init\-file +.br +"\ee[11~": "Function Key 1" +.RE +.PP +In this example, +.I C-u +is again bound to the function +.BR universal\-argument . +.I "C-x C-r" +is bound to the function +.BR re\-read\-init\-file , +and +.I "ESC [ 1 1 ~" +is bound to insert the text +.BR "Function Key 1" . +The full set of GNU Emacs style escape sequences is +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +.B \eC\- +control prefix +.TP +.B \eM\- +meta prefix +.TP +.B \ee +an escape character +.TP +.B \e\e +backslash +.TP +.B \e" +literal " +.TP +.B \e' +literal ' +.RE +.PD +.PP +In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a second +set of backslash escapes is available: +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +.B \ea +alert (bell) +.TP +.B \eb +backspace +.TP +.B \ed +delete +.TP +.B \ef +form feed +.TP +.B \en +newline +.TP +.B \er +carriage return +.TP +.B \et +horizontal tab +.TP +.B \ev +vertical tab +.TP +.B \e\fInnn\fP +the character whose ASCII code is the octal value \fInnn\fP +(one to three digits) +.TP +.B \ex\fInnn\fP +the character whose ASCII code is the hexadecimal value \fInnn\fP +(one to three digits) +.RE +.PD +.PP +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. +Backslash will quote any other character in the macro text, +including " and '. +.PP +.B Bash +allows the current readline key bindings to be displayed or modified +with the +.B bind +builtin command. The editing mode may be switched during interactive +use by using the +.B \-o +option to the +.B set +builtin command. Other programs using this library provide +similar mechanisms. The +.I inputrc +file may be edited and re-read if a program does not provide +any other means to incorporate new bindings. +.SS Variables +.PP +Readline has variables that can be used to further customize its +behavior. A variable may be set in the +.I inputrc +file with a statement of the form +.RS +.PP +\fBset\fP \fIvariable\-name\fP \fIvalue\fP +.RE +.PP +Except where noted, readline variables can take the values +.B On +or +.BR Off . +The variables and their default values are: +.PP +.PD 0 +.TP +.B bell\-style (audible) +Controls what happens when readline wants to ring the terminal bell. +If set to \fBnone\fP, readline never rings the bell. If set to +\fBvisible\fP, readline uses a visible bell if one is available. +If set to \fBaudible\fP, readline attempts to ring the terminal's bell. +.TP +.B comment\-begin (``#'') +The string that is inserted in \fBvi\fP mode when the +.B insert\-comment +command is executed. +This command is bound to +.B M\-# +in emacs mode and to +.B # +in vi command mode. +.TP +.B completion\-ignore\-case (Off) +If set to \fBOn\fP, readline performs filename matching and completion +in a case\-insensitive fashion. +.TP +.B completion\-query\-items (100) +This determines when the user is queried about viewing +the number of possible completions +generated by the \fBpossible\-completions\fP 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. +.TP +.B convert\-meta (On) +If set to \fBOn\fP, 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 \fImeta prefix\fP). +.TP +.B disable\-completion (Off) +If set to \fBOn\fP, readline will inhibit word completion. Completion +characters will be inserted into the line as if they had been +mapped to \fBself-insert\fP. +.TP +.B editing\-mode (emacs) +Controls whether readline begins with a set of key bindings similar +to \fIemacs\fP or \fIvi\fP. +.B editing\-mode +can be set to either +.B emacs +or +.BR vi . +.TP +.B enable\-keypad (Off) +When set to \fBOn\fP, readline will try to enable the application +keypad when it is called.

The set of legal keymap names is +\fIemacs, emacs-standard, emacs-meta, emacs-ctlx, vi, vi-move, +vi-command\fP, and +.IR vi-insert . +\fIvi\fP is equivalent to \fIvi-command\fP; \fIemacs\fP is +equivalent to \fIemacs-standard\fP.

With an argument +.IR n , +insert the \fIn\fPth word from the previous command (the words +in the previous command begin with word 0). A negative argument +inserts the \fIn\fPth word from the end of the previous command. +.TP +.B +yank\-last\-arg (M\-.\^, M\-_\^) +Insert the last argument to the previous command (the last word of +the previous history entry).

For such programs, the default behaviour of +Readline is sufficient. This section describes how to use Readline in +the simplest way possible, perhaps to replace calls in your code to +@code{gets()} or @code{fgets ()}. + +@findex readline +@cindex readline, function +The function @code{readline ()} prints a prompt and then reads and returns +a single line of text from the user. The line @code{readline} +returns is allocated with @code{malloc ()}; you should @code{free ()} +the line when you are done with it. The declaration for @code{readline} +in ANSI C is + +@example +@code{char *readline (char *@var{prompt});} +@end example + +@noindent +So, one might say +@example +@code{char *line = readline ("Enter a line: ");} +@end example +@noindent +in order to read a line of text from the user. +The line returned has the final newline removed, so only the +text remains. + +If @code{readline} encounters an @code{EOF} while reading the line, and the +line is empty at that point, then @code{(char *)NULL} is returned. +Otherwise, the line is ended just as if a newline had been typed. + +If you want the user to be able to get at the line later, (with +@key{C-p} for example), you must call @code{add_history ()} to save the +line away in a @dfn{history} list of such lines. + +@example +@code{add_history (line)}; +@end example + +@noindent +For full details on the GNU History Library, see the associated manual. + +It is preferable to avoid saving empty lines on the history list, since +users rarely have a burning need to reuse a blank line. Here is +a function which usefully replaces the standard @code{gets ()} library +function, and has the advantage of no static buffer to overflow: + +@example +/* A static variable for holding the line. */ +static char *line_read = (char *)NULL; + +/* Read a string, and return a pointer to it. Returns NULL on EOF. */ +char * +rl_gets () +@{ + /* If the buffer has already been allocated, return the memory + to the free pool. */ + if (line_read) + @{ + free (line_read); + line_read = (char *)NULL; + @} + + /* Get a line from the user. */ + line_read = readline (""); + + /* If the line has any text in it, save it on the history. */ + if (line_read && *line_read) + add_history (line_read); + + return (line_read); +@} +@end example + +This function gives the user the default behaviour of @key{TAB} +completion: completion on file names. If you do not want Readline to +complete on filenames, you can change the binding of the @key{TAB} key +with @code{rl_bind_key ()}. + +@example +@code{int rl_bind_key (int @var{key}, int (*@var{function})());} +@end example + +@code{rl_bind_key ()} takes two arguments: @var{key} is the character that +you want to bind, and @var{function} is the address of the function to +call when @var{key} is pressed. Binding @key{TAB} to @code{rl_insert ()} +makes @key{TAB} insert itself. +@code{rl_bind_key ()} returns non-zero if @var{key} is not a valid +ASCII character code (between 0 and 255). + +Thus, to disable the default @key{TAB} behavior, the following suffices: +@example +@code{rl_bind_key ('\t', rl_insert);} +@end example + +This code should be executed once at the start of your program; you +might write a function called @code{initialize_readline ()} which +performs this and other desired initializations, such as installing +custom completers (@pxref{Custom Completers}). + +@node Custom Functions +@section Custom Functions + +Readline provides many functions for manipulating the text of +the line, but it isn't possible to anticipate the needs of all +programs. This section describes the various functions and variables +defined within the Readline library which allow a user program to add +customized functionality to Readline. + +@menu +* The Function Type:: C declarations to make code readable. +* Function Writing:: Variables and calling conventions. +@end menu + +@node The Function Type +@subsection The Function Type + +For readabilty, we declare a new type of object, called +@dfn{Function}. A @code{Function} is a C function which +returns an @code{int}. The type declaration for @code{Function} is: + +@noindent +@code{typedef int Function ();} + +The reason for declaring this new type is to make it easier to write +code describing pointers to C functions. Let us say we had a variable +called @var{func} which was a pointer to a function. Instead of the +classic C declaration + +@code{int (*)()func;} + +@noindent +we may write + +@code{Function *func;} + +@noindent +Similarly, there are + +@example +typedef void VFunction (); +typedef char *CPFunction (); @r{and} +typedef char **CPPFunction (); +@end example + +@noindent +for functions returning no value, @code{pointer to char}, and +@code{pointer to pointer to char}, respectively. + +@node Function Writing +@subsection Writing a New Function + +In order to write new functions for Readline, you need to know the +calling conventions for keyboard-invoked functions, and the names of the +variables that describe the current state of the line read so far. + +The calling sequence for a command @code{foo} looks like + +@example +@code{foo (int count, int key)} +@end example + +@noindent +where @var{count} is the numeric argument (or 1 if defaulted) and +@var{key} is the key that invoked this function. + +It is completely up to the function as to what should be done with the +numeric argument. Some functions use it as a repeat count, some +as a flag, and others to choose alternate behavior (refreshing the current +line as opposed to refreshing the screen, for example). Some choose to +ignore it. In general, if a +function uses the numeric argument as a repeat count, it should be able +to do something useful with both negative and positive arguments. +At the very least, it should be aware that it can be passed a +negative argument. + +@node Readline Variables +@section Readline Variables + +These variables are available to function writers. + +@deftypevar {char *} rl_line_buffer +This is the line gathered so far. You are welcome to modify the +contents of the line, but see @ref{Allowing Undoing}. +@end deftypevar + +@deftypevar int rl_point +The offset of the current cursor position in @code{rl_line_buffer} +(the @emph{point}). +@end deftypevar + +@deftypevar int rl_end +The number of characters present in @code{rl_line_buffer}.

If your program is one of these, then +it can provide completion for commands, data, or both. +The following sections describe how your program and Readline +cooperate to provide this service. + +@menu +* How Completing Works:: The logic used to do completion. +* Completion Functions:: Functions provided by Readline. +* Completion Variables:: Variables which control completion. +* A Short Completion Example:: An example of writing completer subroutines. +@end menu + +@node How Completing Works +@subsection How Completing Works + +In order to complete some text, the full list of possible completions +must be available. That is, it is not possible to accurately +expand a partial word without knowing all of the possible words +which make sense in that context. The Readline library provides +the user interface to completion, and two of the most common +completion functions: filename and username. For completing other types +of text, you must write your own completion function. This section +describes exactly what such functions must do, and provides an example. + +There are three major functions used to perform completion: + +@enumerate +@item +The user-interface function @code{rl_complete ()}. This function is +called with the same arguments as other Readline +functions intended for interactive use: @var{count} and +@var{invoking_key}. It isolates the word to be completed and calls +@code{completion_matches ()} to generate a list of possible completions. +It then either lists the possible completions, inserts the possible +completions, or actually performs the +completion, depending on which behavior is desired. + +@item +The internal function @code{completion_matches ()} uses your +@dfn{generator} function to generate the list of possible matches, and +then returns the array of these matches. You should place the address +of your generator function in @code{rl_completion_entry_function}. + +@item +The generator function is called repeatedly from +@code{completion_matches ()}, returning a string each time. The +arguments to the generator function are @var{text} and @var{state}. +@var{text} is the partial word to be completed. @var{state} is zero the +first time the function is called, allowing the generator to perform +any necessary initialization, and a positive non-zero integer for +each subsequent call. When the generator function returns +@code{(char *)NULL} this signals @code{completion_matches ()} that there are +no more possibilities left. Usually the generator function computes the +list of possible completions when @var{state} is zero, and returns them +one at a time on subsequent calls. Each string the generator function +returns as a match must be allocated with @code{malloc()}; Readline +frees the strings when it has finished with them. + +@end enumerate + +@deftypefun int rl_complete (int ignore, int invoking_key) +Complete the word at or before point. You have supplied the function +that does the initial simple matching selection algorithm (see +@code{completion_matches ()}).

A value of @samp{?} means list the possible +completions. @samp{TAB} means do standard completion. @samp{*} means +insert all of the possible completions. @samp{!} means to display +all of the possible completions, if there is more than one, as well as +performing partial completion. +@end deftypefun + +@deftypefun int rl_complete (int ignore, int invoking_key) +Complete the word at or before point.

The array is +terminated with a @code{NULL} pointer. + +@var{entry_func} is a function of two args, and returns a +@code{(char *)}. The first argument is @var{text}. The second is a +state argument; it is zero on the first call, and non-zero on subsequent +calls. @var{entry_func} returns a @code{NULL} pointer to the caller +when there are no more matches. +@end deftypefun + +@deftypefun {char *} filename_completion_function (char *text, int state) +A generator function for filename completion in the general case.

If you do not have a meta key, the identical keystroke +can be generated by typing @key{ESC} @i{first}, and then typing @key{k}. +Either process is known as @dfn{metafying} the @key{k} key. + +The text @key{M-C-k} is read as `Meta-Control-k' and describes the +character produced by @dfn{metafying} @key{C-k}. + +In addition, several keys have their own names. Specifically, +@key{DEL}, @key{ESC}, @key{LFD}, @key{SPC}, @key{RET}, and @key{TAB} all +stand for themselves when seen in this text, or in an init file +(@pxref{Readline Init File}). + +@node Readline Interaction +@section Readline Interaction +@cindex interaction, readline + +Often during an interactive session you type in a long line of text, +only to notice that the first word on the line is misspelled. The +Readline library gives you a set of commands for manipulating the text +as you type it in, allowing you to just fix your typo, and not forcing +you to retype the majority of the line. Using these editing commands, +you move the cursor to the place that needs correction, and delete or +insert the text of the corrections. Then, when you are satisfied with +the line, you simply press @key{RETURN}. You do not have to be at the +end of the line to press @key{RETURN}; the entire line is accepted +regardless of the location of the cursor within the line. + +@menu +* Readline Bare Essentials:: The least you need to know about Readline. +* Readline Movement Commands:: Moving about the input line. +* Readline Killing Commands:: How to delete text, and how to get it back! +* Readline Arguments:: Giving numeric arguments to commands. +* Searching:: Searching through previous lines. + @end menu + +@node Readline Bare Essentials +@subsection Readline Bare Essentials +@cindex notation, readline +@cindex command editing +@cindex editing command lines + +In order to enter characters into the line, simply type them. The typed +character appears where the cursor was, and then the cursor moves one +space to the right. If you mistype a character, you can use your +erase character to back up and delete the mistyped character. + +Sometimes you may miss typing a character that you wanted to type, and +not notice your error until you have typed several other characters. In +that case, you can type @key{C-b} to move the cursor to the left, and then +correct your mistake. Afterwards, you can move the cursor to the right +with @key{C-f}. + +When you add text in the middle of a line, you will notice that characters +to the right of the cursor are `pushed over' to make room for the text +that you have inserted. Likewise, when you delete text behind the cursor, +characters to the right of the cursor are `pulled back' to fill in the +blank space created by the removal of the text. A list of the basic bare +essentials for editing the text of an input line follows. + +@table @asis +@item @key{C-b} +Move back one character. +@item @key{C-f} +Move forward one character. +@item @key{DEL} +Delete the character to the left of the cursor. +@item @key{C-d} +Delete the character underneath the cursor. +@item @w{Printing characters} +Insert the character into the line at the cursor. +@item @key{C-_} +Undo the last editing command. You can undo all the way back to an +empty line. +@end table + +@node Readline Movement Commands +@subsection Readline Movement Commands + + +The above table describes the most basic possible keystrokes that you need +in order to do editing of the input line. For your convenience, many +other commands have been added in addition to @key{C-b}, @key{C-f}, +@key{C-d}, and @key{DEL}. Here are some commands for moving more rapidly +about the line. + +@table @key +@item C-a +Move to the start of the line. +@item C-e +Move to the end of the line. +@item M-f +Move forward a word, where a word is composed of letters and digits. +@item M-b +Move backward a word. +@item C-l +Clear the screen, reprinting the current line at the top. +@end table + +Notice how @key{C-f} moves forward a character, while @key{M-f} moves +forward a word. It is a loose convention that control keystrokes +operate on characters while meta keystrokes operate on words. + +@node Readline Killing Commands +@subsection Readline Killing Commands + +@cindex killing text +@cindex yanking text + +@dfn{Killing} text means to delete the text from the line, but to save +it away for later use, usually by @dfn{yanking} (re-inserting) +it back into the line. +If the description for a command says that it `kills' text, then you can +be sure that you can get the text back in a different (or the same) +place later. + +When you use a kill command, the text is saved in a @dfn{kill-ring}. +Any number of consecutive kills save all of the killed text together, so +that when you yank it back, you get it all. The kill +ring is not line specific; the text that you killed on a previously +typed line is available to be yanked back later, when you are typing +another line. +@cindex kill ring + +Here is the list of commands for killing text. + +@table @key +@item C-k +Kill the text from the current cursor position to the end of the line. + +@item M-d +Kill from the cursor to the end of the current word, or if between +words, to the end of the next word. + +@item M-DEL +Kill from the cursor the start of the previous word, or if between +words, to the start of the previous word. + +@item C-w +Kill from the cursor to the previous whitespace. This is different than +@key{M-DEL} because the word boundaries differ. + +@end table + +Here is how to @dfn{yank} the text back into the line. Yanking +means to copy the most-recently-killed text from the kill buffer. + +@table @key +@item C-y +Yank the most recently killed text back into the buffer at the cursor. + +@item M-y +Rotate the kill-ring, and yank the new top. You can only do this if +the prior command is @key{C-y} or @key{M-y}. +@end table + +@node Readline Arguments +@subsection Readline Arguments + +You can pass numeric arguments to Readline commands. Sometimes the +argument acts as a repeat count, other times it is the @i{sign} of the +argument that is significant. If you pass a negative argument to a +command which normally acts in a forward direction, that command will +act in a backward direction. For example, to kill text back to the +start of the line, you might type @samp{M-- C-k}. + +The general way to pass numeric arguments to a command is to type meta +digits before the command. If the first `digit' typed is a minus +sign (@key{-}), then the sign of the argument will be negative. Once +you have typed one meta digit to get the argument started, you can type +the remainder of the digits, and then the command. For example, to give +the @key{C-d} command an argument of 10, you could type @samp{M-1 0 C-d}. + +@node Searching +@subsection Searching for Commands in the History + +Readline provides commands for searching through the command history +@ifset BashFeatures +(@pxref{Bash History Facilities}) +@end ifset +for lines containing a specified string. +There are two search modes: @var{incremental} and @var{non-incremental}. + +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 @key{ESC} character is used to terminate an incremental search. +@key{C-j} will also terminate the search. +@key{C-g} will abort an incremental search and restore the original line. +When the search is terminated, the history entry containing the +search string becomes the current line. +To find other matching entries in the history list, type @key{C-s} or +@key{C-r} as appropriate. +This will search backward or forward in the history for the next +entry matching the search string typed so far. +Any other key sequence bound to a Readline command will terminate +the search and execute that command. +For instance, a @key{RET} will terminate the search and accept +the line, thereby executing the command 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. + +@node Readline Init File +@section Readline Init File +@cindex initialization file, readline + +Although the Readline library comes with a set of @code{emacs}-like +keybindings installed by default, it is possible to use a different set +of keybindings. +Any user can customize programs that use Readline by putting +commands in an @dfn{inputrc} file in his home directory. +The name of this +@ifset BashFeatures +file is taken from the value of the shell variable @code{INPUTRC}. If +@end ifset +@ifclear BashFeatures +file is taken from the value of the environment variable @code{INPUTRC}. If +@end ifclear +that variable is unset, the default is @file{~/.inputrc}. + +When a program which uses the Readline library starts up, the +init file is read, and the key bindings are set. + +In addition, the @code{C-x C-r} command re-reads this init file, thus +incorporating any changes that you might have made to it. + +@menu +* Readline Init File Syntax:: Syntax for the commands in the inputrc file. + +* Conditional Init Constructs:: Conditional key bindings in the inputrc file. + +* Sample Init File:: An example inputrc file. +@end menu + +@node Readline Init File Syntax +@subsection Readline Init File Syntax + +There are only a few basic constructs allowed in the +Readline init file. Blank lines are ignored. +Lines beginning with a @samp{#} are comments. +Lines beginning with a @samp{$} indicate conditional +constructs (@pxref{Conditional Init Constructs}). Other lines +denote variable settings and key bindings. + +@table @asis +@item Variable Settings +You can modify the run-time behavior of Readline by +altering the values of variables in Readline +using the @code{set} command within the init file. Here is how to +change from the default Emacs-like key binding to use +@code{vi} line editing commands: + +@example +set editing-mode vi +@end example + +A great deal of run-time behavior is changeable with the following +variables. + +@table @code + +@item bell-style +@vindex bell-style +Controls what happens when Readline wants to ring the terminal bell. +If set to @samp{none}, Readline never rings the bell. If set to +@samp{visible}, Readline uses a visible bell if one is available. +If set to @samp{audible} (the default), Readline attempts to ring +the terminal's bell. + +@item comment-begin +@vindex comment-begin +The string to insert at the beginning of the line when the +@code{insert-comment} command is executed. The default value +is @code{"#"}. + +@item completion-ignore-case +If set to @samp{on}, Readline performs filename matching and completion +in a case-insensitive fashion. +The default value is @samp{off}. + +@item completion-query-items +@vindex completion-query-items +The number of possible completions that determines when the user is +asked whether he wants to see the list of possibilities. If the +number of possible completions is greater than this value, +Readline will ask the user whether or not he wishes to view +them; otherwise, they are simply listed. The default limit is +@code{100}. + +@item convert-meta +@vindex convert-meta +If set to @samp{on}, Readline will convert characters with the +eighth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by stripping the eighth +bit and prepending an @key{ESC} character, converting them to a +meta-prefixed key sequence. The default value is @samp{on}. + +@item disable-completion +@vindex disable-completion +If set to @samp{On}, Readline will inhibit word completion. +Completion characters will be inserted into the line as if they had +been mapped to @code{self-insert}. The default is @samp{off}. + +@item editing-mode +@vindex editing-mode +The @code{editing-mode} variable controls which default set of +key bindings is used. By default, Readline starts up in Emacs editing +mode, where the keystrokes are most similar to Emacs. This variable can be +set to either @samp{emacs} or @samp{vi}. + +@item enable-keypad +@vindex enable-keypad +When set to @samp{on}, Readline will try to enable the application +keypad when it is called. Some systems need this to enable the +arrow keys. The default is @samp{off}. + +@item expand-tilde +@vindex expand-tilde +If set to @samp{on}, tilde expansion is performed when Readline +attempts word completion. The default is @samp{off}. + +@item horizontal-scroll-mode +@vindex horizontal-scroll-mode +This variable can be set to either @samp{on} or @samp{off}. Setting it +to @samp{on} means that the text of the lines being edited will scroll +horizontally on a single screen line when they are longer than the width +of the screen, instead of wrapping onto a new screen line. By default, +this variable is set to @samp{off}. + +@item keymap +@vindex keymap +Sets Readline's idea of the current keymap for key binding commands. +Acceptable @code{keymap} names are +@code{emacs}, +@code{emacs-standard}, +@code{emacs-meta}, +@code{emacs-ctlx}, +@code{vi}, +@code{vi-command}, and +@code{vi-insert}. +@code{vi} is equivalent to @code{vi-command}; @code{emacs} is +equivalent to @code{emacs-standard}. The default value is @code{emacs}. +The value of the @code{editing-mode} variable also affects the +default keymap. + +@item mark-directories +If set to @samp{on}, completed directory names have a slash +appended. The default is @samp{on}. + +@item mark-modified-lines +@vindex mark-modified-lines +This variable, when set to @samp{on}, causes Readline to display an +asterisk (@samp{*}) at the start of history lines which have been modified. +This variable is @samp{off} by default. + +@item input-meta +@vindex input-meta +@vindex meta-flag +If set to @samp{on}, Readline will enable eight-bit input (it +will not strip the eighth bit from the characters it reads), +regardless of what the terminal claims it can support. The +default value is @samp{off}. The name @code{meta-flag} is a +synonym for this variable. + +@item output-meta +@vindex output-meta +If set to @samp{on}, Readline will display characters with the +eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta-prefixed escape +sequence. The default is @samp{off}. + +@item print-completions-horizontally +If set to @samp{on}, Readline will display completions with matches +sorted horizontally in alphabetical order, rather than down the screen. +The default is @samp{off}. + +@item show-all-if-ambiguous +@vindex show-all-if-ambiguous +This alters the default behavior of the completion functions. If +set to @samp{on}, +words which have more than one possible completion cause the +matches to be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell. +The default value is @samp{off}. + +@item visible-stats +@vindex visible-stats +If set to @samp{on}, a character denoting a file's type +is appended to the filename when listing possible +completions. The default is @samp{off}. + +@end table + +@item Key Bindings +The syntax for controlling key bindings in the init file is +simple. First you have to know the name of the command that you +want to change. The following sections contain tables of the command +name, the default keybinding, if any, and a short description of what +the command does. + +Once you know the name of the command, simply place the name of the key +you wish to bind the command to, a colon, and then the name of the +command on a line in the init file. The name of the key +can be expressed in different ways, depending on which is most +comfortable for you. + +@table @asis +@item @w{@var{keyname}: @var{function-name} or @var{macro}} +@var{keyname} is the name of a key spelled out in English. For example: +@example +Control-u: universal-argument +Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word +Control-o: "> output" +@end example + +In the above example, @key{C-u} is bound to the function +@code{universal-argument}, and @key{C-o} is bound to run the macro +expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the text +@samp{> output} into the line). + +@item @w{"@var{keyseq}": @var{function-name} or @var{macro}} +@var{keyseq} differs from @var{keyname} above in that strings +denoting an entire key sequence can be specified, by placing +the key sequence in double quotes. Some GNU Emacs style key +escapes can be used, as in the following example, but the +special character names are not recognized. + +@example +"\C-u": universal-argument +"\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file +"\e[11~": "Function Key 1" +@end example + +In the above example, @key{C-u} is bound to the function +@code{universal-argument} (just as it was in the first example), +@samp{@key{C-x} @key{C-r}} is bound to the function @code{re-read-init-file}, +and @samp{@key{ESC} @key{[} @key{1} @key{1} @key{~}} is bound to insert +the text @samp{Function Key 1}. + +@end table + +The following GNU Emacs style escape sequences are available when +specifying key sequences: + +@table @code +@item @kbd{\C-} +control prefix +@item @kbd{\M-} +meta prefix +@item @kbd{\e} +an escape character +@item @kbd{\\} +backslash +@item @kbd{\"} +@key{"} +@item @kbd{\'} +@key{'} +@end table + +In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a second +set of backslash escapes is available: + +@table @code +@item \a +alert (bell) +@item \b +backspace +@item \d +delete +@item \f +form feed +@item \n +newline +@item \r +carriage return +@item \t +horizontal tab +@item \v +vertical tab +@item \@var{nnn} +the character whose ASCII code is the octal value @var{nnn} +(one to three digits) +@item \x@var{nnn} +the character whose ASCII code is the hexadecimal value @var{nnn} +(one to three digits) +@end table + +When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes must +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. +Backslash will quote any other character in the macro text, +including @samp{"} and @samp{'}. +For example, the following binding will make @samp{C-x \} +insert a single @samp{\} into the line: +@example +"\C-x\\": "\\" +@end example + +@end table + +@node Conditional Init Constructs +@subsection Conditional Init Constructs + +Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the conditional +compilation features of the C preprocessor which allows key +bindings and variable settings to be performed as the result +of tests. There are four parser directives used. + +@table @code +@item $if +The @code{$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. + +@table @code +@item mode +The @code{mode=} form of the @code{$if} directive is used to test +whether Readline is in @code{emacs} or @code{vi} mode. +This may be used in conjunction +with the @samp{set keymap} command, for instance, to set bindings in +the @code{emacs-standard} and @code{emacs-ctlx} keymaps only if +Readline is starting out in @code{emacs} mode. + +@item term +The @code{term=} form may be used to include terminal-specific +key bindings, perhaps to bind the key sequences output by the +terminal's function keys. The word on the right side of the +@samp{=} is tested against both the full name of the terminal and +the portion of the terminal name before the first @samp{-}. This +allows @code{sun} to match both @code{sun} and @code{sun-cmd}, +for instance. + +@item application +The @var{application} construct is used to include +application-specific settings. Each program using the Readline +library sets the @var{application name}, and you can test for it. +This could be used to bind key sequences to functions useful for +a specific program. For instance, the following command adds a +key sequence that quotes the current or previous word in Bash: +@example +$if Bash +# Quote the current or previous word +"\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\"" +$endif +@end example +@end table + +@item $endif +This command, as seen in the previous example, terminates an +@code{$if} command. + +@item $else +Commands in this branch of the @code{$if} directive are executed if +the test fails. + +@item $include +This directive takes a single filename as an argument and reads commands +and bindings from that file. +@example +$include /etc/inputrc +@end example +@end table + +@node Sample Init File +@subsection Sample Init File + +Here is an example of an inputrc file.

It tries to handle +most of the Texinfo commands. It creates hypertext links for cross-references, +footnotes... +.PP +It also tries to add links from a reference to its corresponding entry in the +bibliography (if any). It may also handle a glossary (see the +.B \-glossary +option). +.PP +.I Texi2html +creates several files depending on the contents of the Texinfo file and on +the chosen options (see FILES). +.PP +The HTML files created by +.I texi2html +are closer to TeX than to Info, that's why +.I texi2html +converts @iftex sections and not @ifinfo ones by default. You can reverse +this with the \-expandinfo option. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 12 +.B \-check +Check the given file and give the list of all things that may be Texinfo commands. +This may be used to check the output of +.I texi2html +to find the Texinfo commands that have been left in the HTML file. +.TP +.B \-expandinfo +Expand @ifinfo sections, not @iftex ones. +.TP +.B \-glossary +Use the section named 'Glossary' to build a list of terms and put links in the HTML +document from each term toward its definition. +.TP +.B \-invisible \fIname\fP +Use \fIname\fP to create invisible destination anchors for index links. This is a workaround +for a known bug of many WWW browsers, including xmosaic. +.TP +.B \-I \fIdir\fP +Look also in \fIdir\fP to find included files. +.TP +.B \-menu +Show the Texinfo menus; by default they are ignored. +.TP +.B \-monolithic +Output only one file, including the table of contents and footnotes. +.TP +.B \-number +Number the sections. +.TP +.B \-split_chapter +Split the output into several HTML files (one per main section: +chapter, appendix...). +.TP +.B \-split_node +Split the output into several HTML files (one per node). +.TP +.B \-usage +Print usage instructions, listing the current available command-line options. +.TP +.B \-verbose +Give a verbose output. Can be used with the +.B \-check +option. +.PP +.SH FILES +By default +.I texi2html +creates the following files (foo being the name of the Texinfo file): +.TP 16 +.B foo_toc.html +The table of contents. +.TP +.B foo.html +The document's contents. +.TP +.B foo_foot.html +The footnotes (if any). +.PP +When used with the +.B \-split +option, it creates several files (one per chapter or node), named +.B foo_n.html +(n being the indice of the chapter or node), instead of the single +.B foo.html +file. +.PP +When used with the +.B \-monolithic +option, it creates only one file: +.B foo.html +.SH VARIABLES +.I texi2html +predefines the following variables: \fBhtml\fP, \fBtexi2html\fP. +.SH ADDITIONAL COMMANDS +.I texi2html +implements the following non-Texinfo commands: +.TP 16 +.B @ifhtml +This indicates the start of an HTML section, this section will passed through +without any modofication. +.TP +.B @end ifhtml +This indcates the end of an HTML section. +.SH VERSION +This is \fItexi2html\fP version 1.51, 09/10/96. +.PP +The latest version of \fItexi2html\fP can be found in WWW, cf.
