-@chapter Programming with GNU Readline
-
-This chapter describes the interface between the @sc{gnu} Readline Library and
-other programs. If you are a programmer, and you wish to include the
-features found in @sc{gnu} Readline
-such as completion, line editing, and interactive history manipulation
-in your own programs, this section is for you.

-@end menu
-
-@node Basic Behavior
-@section Basic Behavior
-
-Many programs provide a command line interface, such as @code{mail},
-@code{ftp}, and @code{sh}. 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 @var{prompt}
-and then reads and returns a single line of text from the user.
-If @var{prompt} is @code{NULL} or the empty string, no prompt is displayed.
-The line @code{readline} returns is allocated with @code{malloc()};
-the caller should @code{free()} the line when it has finished with it.
-The declaration for @code{readline} in ANSI C is
-
-@example
-@code{char *readline (const 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}, rl_command_func_t *@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.
-
-Before declaring any functions that customize Readline's behavior, or
-using any functionality Readline provides in other code, an
-application writer should include the file @code{<readline/readline.h>}
-in any file that uses Readline's features. Since some of the definitions
-in @code{readline.h} use the @code{stdio} library, the file
-@code{<stdio.h>} should be included before @code{readline.h}.
-
-@code{readline.h} defines a C preprocessor variable that should
-be treated as an integer, @code{RL_READLINE_VERSION}, which may
-be used to conditionally compile application code depending on
-the installed Readline version. The value is a hexadecimal
-encoding of the major and minor version numbers of the library,
-of the form 0x@var{MMmm}. @var{MM} is the two-digit major
-version number; @var{mm} is the two-digit minor version number.
-For Readline 4.2, for example, the value of
-@code{RL_READLINE_VERSION} would be @code{0x0402}.

-
-@node Readline Typedefs
-@subsection Readline Typedefs
-
-For readabilty, we declare a number of new object types, all pointers
-to functions.
-
-The reason for declaring these new types is to make it easier to write
-code describing pointers to C functions with appropriately prototyped
-arguments and return values.
-
-For instance, say we want to declare a variable @var{func} as a pointer
-to a function which takes two @code{int} arguments and returns an
-@code{int} (this is the type of all of the Readline bindable functions).
-Instead of the classic C declaration
-
-@code{int (*func)();}
-
-@noindent
-or the ANSI-C style declaration
-
-@code{int (*func)(int, int);}
-
-@noindent
-we may write
-
-@code{rl_command_func_t *func;}
-
-The full list of function pointer types available is
-
-@table @code
-@item typedef int rl_command_func_t (int, int);
-
-@item typedef char *rl_compentry_func_t (const char *, int);
-
-@item typedef char **rl_completion_func_t (const char *, int, int);
-
-@item typedef char *rl_quote_func_t (char *, int, char *);
-
-@item typedef char *rl_dequote_func_t (char *, int);

-@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{int 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.
-
-A command function should return 0 if its action completes successfully,
-and a non-zero value if some error occurs.
-
-@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}. The
-function @code{rl_extend_line_buffer} is available to increase
-the memory allocated to @code{rl_line_buffer}.
-@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}. When
-@code{rl_point} is at the end of the line, @code{rl_point} and
-@code{rl_end} are equal.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_mark
-The @var{mark} (saved position) in the current line. If set, the mark
-and point define a @emph{region}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_done
-Setting this to a non-zero value causes Readline to return the current
-line immediately.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_num_chars_to_read
-Setting this to a positive value before calling @code{readline()} causes
-Readline to return after accepting that many characters, rather
-than reading up to a character bound to @code{accept-line}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_pending_input
-Setting this to a value makes it the next keystroke read. This is a
-way to stuff a single character into the input stream.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_dispatching
-Set to a non-zero value if a function is being called from a key binding;
-zero otherwise. Application functions can test this to discover whether
-they were called directly or by Readline's dispatching mechanism.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_erase_empty_line
-Setting this to a non-zero value causes Readline to completely erase
-the current line, including any prompt, any time a newline is typed as
-the only character on an otherwise-empty line. The cursor is moved to
-the beginning of the newly-blank line.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {char *} rl_prompt
-The prompt Readline uses. This is set from the argument to
-@code{readline()}, and should not be assigned to directly.
-The @code{rl_set_prompt()} function (@pxref{Redisplay}) may
-be used to modify the prompt string after calling @code{readline()}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_already_prompted
-If an application wishes to display the prompt itself, rather than have
-Readline do it the first time @code{readline()} is called, it should set
-this variable to a non-zero value after displaying the prompt.
-The prompt must also be passed as the argument to @code{readline()} so
-the redisplay functions can update the display properly.
-The calling application is responsible for managing the value; Readline
-never sets it.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_library_version
-The version number of this revision of the library.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_readline_version
-An integer encoding the current version of the library. The encoding is
-of the form 0x@var{MMmm}, where @var{MM} is the two-digit major version
-number, and @var{mm} is the two-digit minor version number.
-For example, for Readline-4.2, @code{rl_readline_version} would have the
-value 0x0402.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {int} rl_gnu_readline_p
-Always set to 1, denoting that this is @sc{gnu} readline rather than some
-emulation.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_terminal_name
-The terminal type, used for initialization. If not set by the application,
-Readline sets this to the value of the @env{TERM} environment variable
-the first time it is called.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_readline_name
-This variable is set to a unique name by each application using Readline.
-The value allows conditional parsing of the inputrc file
-(@pxref{Conditional Init Constructs}).
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {FILE *} rl_instream
-The stdio stream from which Readline reads input.
-If @code{NULL}, Readline defaults to @var{stdin}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {FILE *} rl_outstream
-The stdio stream to which Readline performs output.
-If @code{NULL}, Readline defaults to @var{stdout}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_command_func_t *} rl_last_func
-The address of the last command function Readline executed. May be used to
-test whether or not a function is being executed twice in succession, for
-example.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_hook_func_t *} rl_startup_hook
-If non-zero, this is the address of a function to call just
-before @code{readline} prints the first prompt.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_hook_func_t *} rl_pre_input_hook
-If non-zero, this is the address of a function to call after
-the first prompt has been printed and just before @code{readline}
-starts reading input characters.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_hook_func_t *} rl_event_hook
-If non-zero, this is the address of a function to call periodically
-when Readline is waiting for terminal input.
-By default, this will be called at most ten times a second if there
-is no keyboard input.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_getc_func_t *} rl_getc_function
-If non-zero, Readline will call indirectly through this pointer
-to get a character from the input stream. By default, it is set to
-@code{rl_getc}, the default Readline character input function
-(@pxref{Character Input}).
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_voidfunc_t *} rl_redisplay_function
-If non-zero, Readline will call indirectly through this pointer
-to update the display with the current contents of the editing buffer.
-By default, it is set to @code{rl_redisplay}, the default Readline
-redisplay function (@pxref{Redisplay}).
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_vintfunc_t *} rl_prep_term_function
-If non-zero, Readline will call indirectly through this pointer
-to initialize the terminal. The function takes a single argument, an
-@code{int} flag that says whether or not to use eight-bit characters.
-By default, this is set to @code{rl_prep_terminal}
-(@pxref{Terminal Management}).
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_voidfunc_t *} rl_deprep_term_function
-If non-zero, Readline will call indirectly through this pointer
-to reset the terminal. This function should undo the effects of
-@code{rl_prep_term_function}.
-By default, this is set to @code{rl_deprep_terminal}
-(@pxref{Terminal Management}).
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {Keymap} rl_executing_keymap
-This variable is set to the keymap (@pxref{Keymaps}) in which the
-currently executing readline function was found.

-@deftypevar {char *} rl_executing_macro
-This variable is set to the text of any currently-executing macro.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {int} rl_readline_state
-A variable with bit values that encapsulate the current Readline state.
-A bit is set with the @code{RL_SETSTATE} macro, and unset with the

-
-@node Function Naming
-@subsection Naming a Function
-
-The user can dynamically change the bindings of keys while using
-Readline. This is done by representing the function with a descriptive
-name. The user is able to type the descriptive name when referring to
-the function. Thus, in an init file, one might find
-
-@example
-Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word
-@end example
-
-This binds the keystroke @key{Meta-Rubout} to the function
-@emph{descriptively} named @code{backward-kill-word}. You, as the
-programmer, should bind the functions you write to descriptive names as
-well. Readline provides a function for doing that:
-
-@deftypefun int rl_add_defun (const char *name, rl_command_func_t *function, int key)
-Add @var{name} to the list of named functions. Make @var{function} be
-the function that gets called. If @var{key} is not -1, then bind it to
-@var{function} using @code{rl_bind_key()}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-Using this function alone is sufficient for most applications. It is
-the recommended way to add a few functions to the default functions that
-Readline has built in. If you need to do something other
-than adding a function to Readline, you may need to use the
-underlying functions described below.
-
-@node Keymaps
-@subsection Selecting a Keymap
-
-Key bindings take place on a @dfn{keymap}. The keymap is the
-association between the keys that the user types and the functions that
-get run. You can make your own keymaps, copy existing keymaps, and tell
-Readline which keymap to use.
-
-@deftypefun Keymap rl_make_bare_keymap (void)
-Returns a new, empty keymap. The space for the keymap is allocated with
-@code{malloc()}; the caller should free it by calling
-@code{rl_discard_keymap()} when done.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun Keymap rl_copy_keymap (Keymap map)
-Return a new keymap which is a copy of @var{map}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun Keymap rl_make_keymap (void)
-Return a new keymap with the printing characters bound to rl_insert,
-the lowercase Meta characters bound to run their equivalents, and
-the Meta digits bound to produce numeric arguments.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun void rl_discard_keymap (Keymap keymap)
-Free the storage associated with @var{keymap}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-Readline has several internal keymaps. These functions allow you to
-change which keymap is active.
-
-@deftypefun Keymap rl_get_keymap (void)
-Returns the currently active keymap.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun void rl_set_keymap (Keymap keymap)
-Makes @var{keymap} the currently active keymap.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun Keymap rl_get_keymap_by_name (const char *name)
-Return the keymap matching @var{name}. @var{name} is one which would
-be supplied in a @code{set keymap} inputrc line (@pxref{Readline Init File}).
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {char *} rl_get_keymap_name (Keymap keymap)
-Return the name matching @var{keymap}. @var{name} is one which would
-be supplied in a @code{set keymap} inputrc line (@pxref{Readline Init File}).
-@end deftypefun
-
-@node Binding Keys
-@subsection Binding Keys
-
-Key sequences are associate with functions through the keymap.
-Readline has several internal keymaps: @code{emacs_standard_keymap},
-@code{emacs_meta_keymap}, @code{emacs_ctlx_keymap},
-@code{vi_movement_keymap}, and @code{vi_insertion_keymap}.
-@code{emacs_standard_keymap} is the default, and the examples in
-this manual assume that.
-
-Since @code{readline()} installs a set of default key bindings the first
-time it is called, there is always the danger that a custom binding
-installed before the first call to @code{readline()} will be overridden.
-An alternate mechanism is to install custom key bindings in an
-initialization function assigned to the @code{rl_startup_hook} variable
-(@pxref{Readline Variables}).
-
-These functions manage key bindings.
-
-@deftypefun int rl_bind_key (int key, rl_command_func_t *function)
-Binds @var{key} to @var{function} in the currently active keymap.
-Returns non-zero in the case of an invalid @var{key}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_bind_key_in_map (int key, rl_command_func_t *function, Keymap map)
-Bind @var{key} to @var{function} in @var{map}. Returns non-zero in the case
-of an invalid @var{key}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_unbind_key (int key)

-@node Allowing Undoing
-@subsection Allowing Undoing
-
-Supporting the undo command is a painless thing, and makes your
-functions much more useful. It is certainly easy to try
-something if you know you can undo it.
-
-If your function simply inserts text once, or deletes text once, and
-uses @code{rl_insert_text()} or @code{rl_delete_text()} to do it, then
-undoing is already done for you automatically.
-
-If you do multiple insertions or multiple deletions, or any combination
-of these operations, you should group them together into one operation.
-This is done with @code{rl_begin_undo_group()} and
-@code{rl_end_undo_group()}.
-
-The types of events that can be undone are:
-
-@smallexample
-enum undo_code @{ UNDO_DELETE, UNDO_INSERT, UNDO_BEGIN, UNDO_END @};
-@end smallexample
-
-Notice that @code{UNDO_DELETE} means to insert some text, and
-@code{UNDO_INSERT} means to delete some text. That is, the undo code
-tells what to undo, not how to undo it. @code{UNDO_BEGIN} and
-@code{UNDO_END} are tags added by @code{rl_begin_undo_group()} and
-@code{rl_end_undo_group()}.
-
-@deftypefun int rl_begin_undo_group (void)
-Begins saving undo information in a group construct. The undo
-information usually comes from calls to @code{rl_insert_text()} and
-@code{rl_delete_text()}, but could be the result of calls to
-@code{rl_add_undo()}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_end_undo_group (void)
-Closes the current undo group started with @code{rl_begin_undo_group
-()}. There should be one call to @code{rl_end_undo_group()}
-for each call to @code{rl_begin_undo_group()}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun void rl_add_undo (enum undo_code what, int start, int end, char *text)
-Remember how to undo an event (according to @var{what}). The affected
-text runs from @var{start} to @var{end}, and encompasses @var{text}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun void rl_free_undo_list (void)
-Free the existing undo list.
-@end deftypefun

-@deftypefun int rl_do_undo (void)

-once, just before you modify the text. You must supply the indices of
-the text range that you are going to modify.
-

-@node Readline Signal Handling
-@section Readline Signal Handling
-
-Signals are asynchronous events sent to a process by the Unix kernel,
-sometimes on behalf of another process. They are intended to indicate
-exceptional events, like a user pressing the interrupt key on his terminal,
-or a network connection being broken. There is a class of signals that can
-be sent to the process currently reading input from the keyboard. Since
-Readline changes the terminal attributes when it is called, it needs to
-perform special processing when such a signal is received in order to
-restore the terminal to a sane state, or provide application writers with
-functions to do so manually.
-
-Readline contains an internal signal handler that is installed for a
-number of signals (@code{SIGINT}, @code{SIGQUIT}, @code{SIGTERM},
-@code{SIGALRM}, @code{SIGTSTP}, @code{SIGTTIN}, and @code{SIGTTOU}).
-When one of these signals is received, the signal handler
-will reset the terminal attributes to those that were in effect before
-@code{readline()} was called, reset the signal handling to what it was
-before @code{readline()} was called, and resend the signal to the calling
-application.
-If and when the calling application's signal handler returns, Readline
-will reinitialize the terminal and continue to accept input.
-When a @code{SIGINT} is received, the Readline signal handler performs
-some additional work, which will cause any partially-entered line to be
-aborted (see the description of @code{rl_free_line_state()} below).
-
-There is an additional Readline signal handler, for @code{SIGWINCH}, which
-the kernel sends to a process whenever the terminal's size changes (for
-example, if a user resizes an @code{xterm}). The Readline @code{SIGWINCH}
-handler updates Readline's internal screen size information, and then calls
-any @code{SIGWINCH} signal handler the calling application has installed.
-Readline calls the application's @code{SIGWINCH} signal handler without
-resetting the terminal to its original state. If the application's signal
-handler does more than update its idea of the terminal size and return (for
-example, a @code{longjmp} back to a main processing loop), it @emph{must}
-call @code{rl_cleanup_after_signal()} (described below), to restore the
-terminal state.
-
-Readline provides two variables that allow application writers to
-control whether or not it will catch certain signals and act on them
-when they are received. It is important that applications change the
-values of these variables only when calling @code{readline()}, not in
-a signal handler, so Readline's internal signal state is not corrupted.
-
-@deftypevar int rl_catch_signals
-If this variable is non-zero, Readline will install signal handlers for
-@code{SIGINT}, @code{SIGQUIT}, @code{SIGTERM}, @code{SIGALRM},
-@code{SIGTSTP}, @code{SIGTTIN}, and @code{SIGTTOU}.
-

-
-Typically, a program that reads commands from the user has a way of

-@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 bindable Readline functions:
-@var{count} and @var{invoking_key}.
-It isolates the word to be completed and calls
-@code{rl_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{rl_completion_matches()} uses an
-application-supplied @dfn{generator} function to generate the list of
-possible matches, and then returns the array of these matches.
-The caller should place the address of its generator function in
-@code{rl_completion_entry_function}.
-
-@item
-The generator function is called repeatedly from
-@code{rl_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. The generator function returns
-@code{(char *)NULL} to inform @code{rl_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{rl_completion_matches()}). The default is to do filename completion.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypevar {rl_compentry_func_t *} rl_completion_entry_function
-This is a pointer to the generator function for
-@code{rl_completion_matches()}.
-If the value of @code{rl_completion_entry_function} is
-@code{NULL} then the default filename generator
-function, @code{rl_filename_completion_function()}, is used.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@node Completion Functions
-@subsection Completion Functions
-
-Here is the complete list of callable completion functions present in
-Readline.
-
-@deftypefun int rl_complete_internal (int what_to_do)
-Complete the word at or before point. @var{what_to_do} says what to do
-with the completion. 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. You have supplied the function
-that does the initial simple matching selection algorithm (see
-@code{rl_completion_matches()} and @code{rl_completion_entry_function}).
-The default is to do filename
-completion. This calls @code{rl_complete_internal()} with an
-argument depending on @var{invoking_key}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_possible_completions (int count, int invoking_key)
-List the possible completions. See description of @code{rl_complete
-()}. This calls @code{rl_complete_internal()} with an argument of
-@samp{?}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_insert_completions (int count, int invoking_key)
-Insert the list of possible completions into the line, deleting the
-partially-completed word. See description of @code{rl_complete()}.
-This calls @code{rl_complete_internal()} with an argument of @samp{*}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun int rl_completion_mode (rl_command_func_t *cfunc)
-Returns the apppriate value to pass to @code{rl_complete_internal()}
-depending on whether @var{cfunc} was called twice in succession and
-the value of the @code{show-all-if-ambiguous} variable.
-Application-specific completion functions may use this function to present
-the same interface as @code{rl_complete()}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {char **} rl_completion_matches (const char *text, rl_compentry_func_t *entry_func)
-Returns an array of strings which is a list of completions for
-@var{text}. If there are no completions, returns @code{NULL}.
-The first entry in the returned array is the substitution for @var{text}.
-The remaining entries are the possible completions. 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 *} rl_filename_completion_function (const char *text, int state)
-A generator function for filename completion in the general case.
-@var{text} is a partial filename.
-The Bash source is a useful reference for writing custom
-completion functions (the Bash completion functions call this and other
-Readline functions).
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {char *} rl_username_completion_function (const char *text, int state)
-A completion generator for usernames. @var{text} contains a partial
-username preceded by a random character (usually @samp{~}). As with all
-completion generators, @var{state} is zero on the first call and non-zero
-for subsequent calls.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@node Completion Variables
-@subsection Completion Variables
-
-@deftypevar {rl_compentry_func_t *} rl_completion_entry_function
-A pointer to the generator function for @code{rl_completion_matches()}.
-@code{NULL} means to use @code{rl_filename_completion_function()}, the default
-filename completer.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_completion_func_t *} rl_attempted_completion_function
-A pointer to an alternative function to create matches.
-The function is called with @var{text}, @var{start}, and @var{end}.
-@var{start} and @var{end} are indices in @code{rl_line_buffer} defining
-the boundaries of @var{text}, which is a character string.
-If this function exists and returns @code{NULL}, or if this variable is
-set to @code{NULL}, then @code{rl_complete()} will call the value of
-@code{rl_completion_entry_function} to generate matches, otherwise the
-array of strings returned will be used.
-If this function sets the @code{rl_attempted_completion_over}
-variable to a non-zero value, Readline will not perform its default
-completion even if this function returns no matches.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_quote_func_t *} rl_filename_quoting_function
-A pointer to a function that will quote a filename in an
-application-specific fashion. This is called if filename completion is being
-attempted and one of the characters in @code{rl_filename_quote_characters}
-appears in a completed filename. The function is called with
-@var{text}, @var{match_type}, and @var{quote_pointer}. The @var{text}
-is the filename to be quoted. The @var{match_type} is either
-@code{SINGLE_MATCH}, if there is only one completion match, or
-@code{MULT_MATCH}. Some functions use this to decide whether or not to
-insert a closing quote character. The @var{quote_pointer} is a pointer
-to any opening quote character the user typed. Some functions choose
-to reset this character.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_dequote_func_t *} rl_filename_dequoting_function
-A pointer to a function that will remove application-specific quoting
-characters from a filename before completion is attempted, so those
-characters do not interfere with matching the text against names in
-the filesystem. It is called with @var{text}, the text of the word
-to be dequoted, and @var{quote_char}, which is the quoting character
-that delimits the filename (usually @samp{'} or @samp{"}). If
-@var{quote_char} is zero, the filename was not in an embedded string.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_linebuf_func_t *} rl_char_is_quoted_p
-A pointer to a function to call that determines whether or not a specific
-character in the line buffer is quoted, according to whatever quoting
-mechanism the program calling Readline uses. The function is called with
-two arguments: @var{text}, the text of the line, and @var{index}, the
-index of the character in the line. It is used to decide whether a
-character found in @code{rl_completer_word_break_characters} should be
-used to break words for the completer.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_compignore_func_t *} rl_ignore_some_completions_function
-This function, if defined, is called by the completer when real filename
-completion is done, after all the matching names have been generated.
-It is passed a @code{NULL} terminated array of matches.
-The first element (@code{matches[0]}) is the
-maximal substring common to all matches. This function can
-re-arrange the list of matches as required, but each element deleted
-from the array must be freed.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_icppfunc_t *} rl_directory_completion_hook
-This function, if defined, is allowed to modify the directory portion
-of filenames Readline completes. It is called with the address of a
-string (the current directory name) as an argument, and may modify that string.
-If the string is replaced with a new string, the old value should be freed.
-Any modified directory name should have a trailing slash.
-The modified value will be displayed as part of the completion, replacing
-the directory portion of the pathname the user typed.
-It returns an integer that should be non-zero if the function modifies
-its directory argument.
-It could be used to expand symbolic links or shell variables in pathnames.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {rl_compdisp_func_t *} rl_completion_display_matches_hook
-If non-zero, then this is the address of a function to call when
-completing a word would normally display the list of possible matches.
-This function is called in lieu of Readline displaying the list.
-It takes three arguments:
-(@code{char **}@var{matches}, @code{int} @var{num_matches}, @code{int} @var{max_length})
-where @var{matches} is the array of matching strings,
-@var{num_matches} is the number of strings in that array, and
-@var{max_length} is the length of the longest string in that array.
-Readline provides a convenience function, @code{rl_display_match_list},
-that takes care of doing the display to Readline's output stream. That
-function may be called from this hook.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_basic_word_break_characters
-The basic list of characters that signal a break between words for the
-completer routine. The default value of this variable is the characters
-which break words for completion in Bash:
-@code{" \t\n\"\\'`@@$><=;|&@{("}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_basic_quote_characters
-A list of quote characters which can cause a word break.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_completer_word_break_characters
-The list of characters that signal a break between words for
-@code{rl_complete_internal()}. The default list is the value of
-@code{rl_basic_word_break_characters}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_completer_quote_characters
-A list of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the line.
-Completion occurs on the entire substring, and within the substring
-@code{rl_completer_word_break_characters} are treated as any other character,
-unless they also appear within this list.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_filename_quote_characters
-A list of characters that cause a filename to be quoted by the completer
-when they appear in a completed filename. The default is the null string.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {const char *} rl_special_prefixes
-The list of characters that are word break characters, but should be
-left in @var{text} when it is passed to the completion function.
-Programs can use this to help determine what kind of completing to do.
-For instance, Bash sets this variable to "$@@" so that it can complete
-shell variables and hostnames.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_completion_query_items
-Up to this many items will be displayed in response to a
-possible-completions call. After that, we ask the user if she is sure
-she wants to see them all. The default value is 100.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar {int} rl_completion_append_character
-When a single completion alternative matches at the end of the command
-line, this character is appended to the inserted completion text. The
-default is a space character (@samp{ }). Setting this to the null
-character (@samp{\0}) prevents anything being appended automatically.
-This can be changed in custom completion functions to
-provide the ``most sensible word separator character'' according to
-an application-specific command line syntax specification.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_completion_suppress_append
-If non-zero, @var{rl_completion_append_character} is not appended to
-matches at the end of the command line, as described above. It is
-set to 0 before any application-specific completion function is called.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs
-If non-zero, a slash will be appended to completed filenames that are
-symbolic links to directory names, subject to the value of the
-user-settable @var{mark-directories} variable.
-This variable exists so that application completion functions can
-override the user's global preference (set via the
-@var{mark-symlinked-directories} Readline variable) if appropriate.
-This variable is set to the user's preference before any
-application completion function is called, so unless that function
-modifies the value, the user's preferences are honored.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_ignore_completion_duplicates
-If non-zero, then duplicates in the matches are removed.
-The default is 1.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_filename_completion_desired
-Non-zero means that the results of the matches are to be treated as
-filenames. This is @emph{always} zero on entry, and can only be changed
-within a completion entry generator function. If it is set to a non-zero
-value, directory names have a slash appended and Readline attempts to
-quote completed filenames if they contain any characters in
-@code{rl_filename_quote_characters} and @code{rl_filename_quoting_desired}
-is set to a non-zero value.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_filename_quoting_desired
-Non-zero means that the results of the matches are to be quoted using
-double quotes (or an application-specific quoting mechanism) if the
-completed filename contains any characters in
-@code{rl_filename_quote_chars}. This is @emph{always} non-zero
-on entry, and can only be changed within a completion entry generator
-function. The quoting is effected via a call to the function pointed to
-by @code{rl_filename_quoting_function}.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_attempted_completion_over
-If an application-specific completion function assigned to
-@code{rl_attempted_completion_function} sets this variable to a non-zero
-value, Readline will not perform its default filename completion even
-if the application's completion function returns no matches.
-It should be set only by an application's completion function.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_completion_type
-Set to a character describing the type of completion Readline is currently
-attempting; see the description of @code{rl_complete_internal()}
-(@pxref{Completion Functions}) for the list of characters.
-@end deftypevar
-
-@deftypevar int rl_inhibit_completion
-If this variable is non-zero, completion is inhibited. The completion
-character will be inserted as any other bound to @code{self-insert}.
