@@@STARTPACK(readline;GNU Readline Library)
<P>
The GNU Readline Library is a facility which aids in the consistency of
user interface across discrete programs that need to provide a command
line interface.
<P>
readline will read a line from the terminal and return it.
The line returned is allocated with 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.
<P>
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.
