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