rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee will read a line from the terminal and return it,
using pppprrrroooommmmpppptttt as a prompt. If pppprrrroooommmmpppptttt is null, no prompt is
issued. The line returned is allocated with _m_a_l_l_o_c(3), so
the caller must free it when finished. The line returned
has the final newline removed, so only the text of the line
remains.
rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee 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.
In the following descriptions, kkkkeeeeyyyymmmmaaaapppp can be one of
_e_m_a_c_s__k_e_y_m_a_p, _e_m_a_c_s__m_e_t_a__k_e_y_m_a_p, _e_m_a_c_s__c_t_l_x__k_e_y_m_a_p,

ffffuuuunnnnccccttttiiiioooonnnn in the current keymap.

storing the result in aaaarrrrrrrraaaayyyy. This translates control and
meta prefixes and the readline character escape sequences
(see KKKKeeeeyyyy BBBBiiiinnnnddddiiiinnnnggggssss below). The length of the translated

back in to restore the bindings.
rrrrllll____ffffuuuunnnnmmmmaaaapppp____nnnnaaaammmmeeeessss returns an array of all known readline
bindable function names. The array is sorted.
RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEE
rrrreeeeaaaaddddlllliiiinnnneeee returns the text of the line read. A blank line
returns the empty string. If EEEEOOOOFFFF is encountered while
reading a line, and the line is empty, NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL is returned. If
an EEEEOOOOFFFF is read with a non-empty line, it is treated as a
newline.
Unless otherwise stated, the other functions return 0 on
success and non-zero on failure.
NNNNOOOOTTTTAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
An emacs-style notation is used to denote keystrokes.
Control keys are denoted by C-_k_e_y, e.g., C-n means
Control-N. Similarly, _m_e_t_a keys are denoted by M-_k_e_y, so
M-x means Meta-X. (On keyboards without a _m_e_t_a key, M-_x
means ESC _x, i.e., press the Escape key then the _x key.
This makes ESC the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x. The combination M-C-_x means
Page 3 (printed 6/30/95)
RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999994444 JJJJuuuunnnneeee 11113333)))) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333))))
ESC-Control-_x, or press the Escape key then hold the Control
key while pressing the _x key.)
Readline commands may be given numeric _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s, which
normally act as a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is
the sign of the argument that is significant. Passing a
negative argument to a command that acts in the forward
direction (e.g., kkkkiiiillllllll----lllliiiinnnneeee) causes that command to act in a
backward direction. Commands whose behavior with arguments
deviates from this are noted.
When a command is described as _k_i_l_l_i_n_g text, the text
deleted is saved for possible future retrieval (_y_a_n_k_i_n_g).
The killed text is saved in a _k_i_l_l-_r_i_n_g. Consecutive kills
cause the text to be accumulated into one unit, which can be
yanked all at once. Commands which do not kill text separate
the chunks of text on the kill-ring.
IIIINNNNIIIITTTTIIIIAAAALLLLIIIIZZZZAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN FFFFIIIILLLLEEEE
Readline is customized by putting commands in an
initialization file. The name of this file is taken from
the value of the IIIINNNNPPPPUUUUTTTTRRRRCCCC variable. If that variable is
unset, the default is ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c. When a program which uses
the readline library starts up, the init file is read, and
the key bindings and variables are set. There are only a
few basic constructs allowed in the readline init file.
Blank lines are ignored. Lines beginning with a #### are
comments. Lines beginning with a $$$$ indicate conditional
constructs. Other lines denote key bindings and variable
settings. Each program using this library may add its own
commands and bindings.
For example, placing
M-Control-u: universal-argument
or
C-Meta-u: universal-argument
into the ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c would make M-C-u execute the readline
command _u_n_i_v_e_r_s_a_l-_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t.
The following symbolic character names are recognized while
processing key bindings: _R_U_B_O_U_T, _D_E_L, _E_S_C, _L_F_D, _N_E_W_L_I_N_E,
_R_E_T, _R_E_T_U_R_N, _S_P_C, _S_P_A_C_E, and _T_A_B. In addition to command
names, readline allows keys to be bound to a string that is
inserted when the key is pressed (a _m_a_c_r_o).
KKKKeeeeyyyy BBBBiiiinnnnddddiiiinnnnggggssss
The syntax for controlling key bindings in the ~/._i_n_p_u_t_r_c
file is simple. All that is required is the name of the
command or the text of a macro and a key sequence to which
it should be bound. The name may be specified in one of two
ways: as a symbolic key name, possibly with _M_e_t_a- or
Page 4 (printed 6/30/95)
RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999994444 JJJJuuuunnnneeee 11113333)))) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333))))
_C_o_n_t_r_o_l- prefixes, or as a key sequence. When using the
form kkkkeeeeyyyynnnnaaaammmmeeee:_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, _k_e_y_n_a_m_e is the name of
a key spelled out in English. For example:
Control-u: universal-argument
Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word
Control-o: ">&output"
In the above example, _C-_u is bound to the function
uuuunnnniiiivvvveeeerrrrssssaaaallll----aaaarrrrgggguuuummmmeeeennnntttt, _M-_D_E_L is bound to the function
bbbbaaaacccckkkkwwwwaaaarrrrdddd----kkkkiiiillllllll----wwwwoooorrrrdddd, and _C-_o is bound to run the macro
expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the
text >&_o_u_t_p_u_t into the line).
In the second form, """"kkkkeeeeyyyysssseeeeqqqq"""":_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n-_n_a_m_e or _m_a_c_r_o, kkkkeeeeyyyysssseeeeqqqq
differs from kkkkeeeeyyyynnnnaaaammmmeeee above in that strings denoting an
entire key sequence may be specified by placing the sequence
within double quotes. Some GNU Emacs style key escapes can
be used, as in the following example.
"\C-u": universal-argument
"\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file
"\e[11~": "Function Key 1"
In this example, _C-_u is again bound to the function
uuuunnnniiiivvvveeeerrrrssssaaaallll----aaaarrrrgggguuuummmmeeeennnntttt. _C-_x _C-_r is bound to the function
rrrreeee----rrrreeeeaaaadddd----iiiinnnniiiitttt----ffffiiiilllleeee, and _E_S_C [ _1 _1 ~ is bound to insert the
text FFFFuuuunnnnccccttttiiiioooonnnn KKKKeeeeyyyy 1111. The full set of escape sequences is
\\\\CCCC---- control prefix
\\\\MMMM---- meta prefix
\\\\eeee an escape character
\\\\\\\\ backslash
\\\\"""" literal "
\\\\'''' literal '
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. Backslash will quote
any character in the macro text, including " and '.
BBBBaaaasssshhhh allows the current readline key bindings to be
displayed or modified with the bbbbiiiinnnndddd builtin command. The
editing mode may be switched during interactive use by using
the ----oooo option to the sssseeeetttt builtin command. Other programs
using this library provide similar mechanisms. The _i_n_p_u_t_r_c
file may be edited and re-read if a program does not provide

any other means to incorporate new bindings.
VVVVaaaarrrriiiiaaaabbbblllleeeessss
Readline has variables that can be used to further customize
its behavior. A variable may be set in the _i_n_p_u_t_r_c file
with a statement of the form
sssseeeetttt _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e-_n_a_m_e _v_a_l_u_e
Except where noted, readline variables can take the values
OOOOnnnn or OOOOffffffff. The variables and their default values are:
hhhhoooorrrriiiizzzzoooonnnnttttaaaallll----ssssccccrrrroooollllllll----mmmmooooddddeeee ((((OOOOffffffff))))
When set to OOOOnnnn, makes readline use a single line for
display, scrolling the input horizontally on a single
screen line when it becomes longer than the screen
width rather than wrapping to a new line.
eeeeddddiiiittttiiiinnnngggg----mmmmooooddddeeee ((((eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss))))
Controls whether readline begins with a set of key
bindings similar to _e_m_a_c_s or _v_i. eeeeddddiiiittttiiiinnnngggg----mmmmooooddddeeee can be
set to either eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss or vvvviiii.
mmmmaaaarrrrkkkk----mmmmooooddddiiiiffffiiiieeeedddd----lllliiiinnnneeeessss ((((OOOOffffffff))))
If set to OOOOnnnn, history lines that have been modified are
displayed with a preceding asterisk (****).
bbbbeeeellllllll----ssssttttyyyylllleeee ((((aaaauuuuddddiiiibbbblllleeee))))
Controls what happens when readline wants to ring the
terminal bell. If set to nnnnoooonnnneeee, readline never rings
the bell. If set to vvvviiiissssiiiibbbblllleeee, readline uses a visible
bell if one is available. If set to aaaauuuuddddiiiibbbblllleeee, readline
attempts to ring the terminal's bell.
ccccoooommmmmmmmeeeennnntttt----bbbbeeeeggggiiiinnnn ((((````````####''''''''))))
The string that is inserted in vvvviiii mode when the
vvvviiii----ccccoooommmmmmmmeeeennnntttt command is executed.
mmmmeeeettttaaaa----ffffllllaaaagggg ((((OOOOffffffff))))
If set to OOOOnnnn, readline will enable eight-bit input
(that is, it will not strip the high bit from the
characters it reads), regardless of what the terminal
claims it can support.
ccccoooonnnnvvvveeeerrrrtttt----mmmmeeeettttaaaa ((((OOOOnnnn))))
If set to OOOOnnnn, readline will convert characters with the
eighth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by stripping
the eighth bit and prepending an escape character (in
effect, using escape as the _m_e_t_a _p_r_e_f_i_x).
oooouuuuttttppppuuuutttt----mmmmeeeettttaaaa ((((OOOOffffffff))))
If set to OOOOnnnn, readline will display characters with the
eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta-prefixed
escape sequence.
ccccoooommmmpppplllleeeettttiiiioooonnnn----qqqquuuueeeerrrryyyy----iiiitttteeeemmmmssss ((((111100000000))))
This determines when the user is queried about viewing
the number of possible completions generated by the
ppppoooossssssssiiiibbbblllleeee----ccccoooommmmpppplllleeeettttiiiioooonnnnssss command. It may be set to any
integer value greater than or equal to zero. If the
Page 6 (printed 6/30/95)
RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999994444 JJJJuuuunnnneeee 11113333)))) RRRREEEEAAAADDDDLLLLIIIINNNNEEEE((((3333))))
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.
kkkkeeeeyyyymmmmaaaapppp ((((eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss))))
Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal
keymap names is _e_m_a_c_s, _e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d, _e_m_a_c_s-_m_e_t_a,
_e_m_a_c_s-_c_t_l_x, _v_i, _v_i-_m_o_v_e, _v_i-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d, and _v_i-_i_n_s_e_r_t. _v_i
is equivalent to _v_i-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d; _e_m_a_c_s is equivalent to
_e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d. The default value is _e_m_a_c_s; the value
of eeeeddddiiiittttiiiinnnngggg----mmmmooooddddeeee also affects the default keymap.
sssshhhhoooowwww----aaaallllllll----iiiiffff----aaaammmmbbbbiiiigggguuuuoooouuuussss ((((OOOOffffffff))))
This alters the default behavior of the completion
functions. If set to oooonnnn, words which have more than
one possible completion cause the matches to be listed
immediately instead of ringing the bell.
eeeexxxxppppaaaannnndddd----ttttiiiillllddddeeee ((((OOOOffffffff))))
If set to oooonnnn, tilde expansion is performed when
readline attempts word completion.
CCCCoooonnnnddddiiiittttiiiioooonnnnaaaallll CCCCoooonnnnssssttttrrrruuuuccccttttssss
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 three parser directives
used.
$$$$iiiiffff The $$$$iiiiffff construct allows bindings to be made based on
the editing mode, the terminal being used, or the
application using readline. The text of the test
extends to the end of the line; no characters are
required to isolate it.
mmmmooooddddeeee The mmmmooooddddeeee==== form of the $$$$iiiiffff directive is used to
test whether readline is in emacs or vi mode.
This may be used in conjunction with the sssseeeetttt
kkkkeeeeyyyymmmmaaaapppp command, for instance, to set bindings in
the _e_m_a_c_s-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d and _e_m_a_c_s-_c_t_l_x keymaps only if
readline is starting out in emacs mode.
tttteeeerrrrmmmm The tttteeeerrrrmmmm==== 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 ==== is tested
against the full name of the terminal and the
portion of the terminal name before the first ----.
This allows _s_u_n to match both _s_u_n and _s_u_n-_c_m_d, for
instance.
aaaapppppppplllliiiiccccaaaattttiiiioooonnnn
The aaaapppppppplllliiiiccccaaaattttiiiioooonnnn construct is used to include
application-specific settings. Each program using

the readline library sets the _a_p_p_l_i_c_a_t_i_o_n _n_a_m_e,
and an initialization file can test for a
particular value. This could be used to bind key
sequences to functions useful for a specific
program. For instance, the following command adds
a key sequence that quotes the current or previous
word in Bash:
$$$$iiiiffff bash
# Quote the current or previous word
"\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\""
$$$$eeeennnnddddiiiiffff
$$$$eeeennnnddddiiiiffff
This command, as you saw in the previous example,
terminates an $$$$iiiiffff command.
$$$$eeeellllsssseeee
Commands in this branch of the $$$$iiiiffff directive are
executed if the test fails.

The following is a list of the names of the commands and the

The following is a list of the default emacs and vi

M-<character>, and are referred to as _m_e_t_a_f_i_e_d characters.
The printable ASCII characters not mentioned in the list of
emacs standard bindings are bound to the _s_e_l_f-_i_n_s_e_r_t
function, which just inserts the given character into the
input line. In vi insertion mode, all characters not
specifically mentioned are bound to _s_e_l_f-_i_n_s_e_r_t. Characters
assigned to signal generation by _s_t_t_y(1) or the terminal
