The tecla library provides UNIX and LINUX 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 wild-card expansion of filenames.
|
|
The internal functions which perform file-name completion and
|
|
wild-card expansion are also available externally for optional use
|
|
by programs.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the library includes a path-searching module. This
|
|
allows an application to provide completion and lookup of files
|
|
located in UNIX style paths. Although not built into the line
|
|
editor by default, it can easily be called from custom
|
|
tab-completion callback functions. This was originally conceived
|
|
for completing the names of executables and providing a way to look
|
|
up their locations in the user's PATH environment variable, but it
|
|
can easily be asked to look up and complete other types of files in
|
|
any list of directories.
|
|
|
|
Note that special care has been taken to allow the use of this
|
|
library in threaded programs. |
