+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+library provides generic line editing, history and tokenization functions,
+similar to those found in
+.Xr sh 1 .
+.Pp
+These functions are available in the
+.Nm libedit
+library (which needs the
+.Nm libtermcap
+library).
+Programs should be linked with
+.Fl ledit ltermcap .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+library respects the
+.Ev LC_CTYPE
+locale set by the application program and never uses
+.Xr setlocale 3
+to change the locale.
+The only locales supported are UTF-8 and the default C or POSIX locale.
+If any other locale is set, behaviour is undefined.
+.Sh LINE EDITING FUNCTIONS
+The line editing functions use a common data structure,
+.Fa EditLine ,
+which is created by
+.Fn el_init
+or
+.Fn el_init_fd
+and freed by
+.Fn el_end .
+.Pp
+The wide-character functions behave the same way as their narrow
+counterparts.
+.Pp
+The following functions are available:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fn el_init
+Initialize the line editor, and return a data structure
+to be used by all other line editing functions, or
+.Dv NULL
+on failure.
+.Fa prog
+is the name of the invoking program, used when reading the
+.Xr editrc 5
+file to determine which settings to use.
+.Fa fin ,
+.Fa fout
+and
+.Fa ferr
+are the input, output, and error streams (respectively) to use.
+In this documentation, references to
+.Dq the tty
+are actually to this input/output stream combination.
+.It Fn el_init_fd
+Like
+.Fn el_init
+but allows specifying file descriptors for the
+.Xr stdio 3
+corresponding streams, in case those were created with
+.Xr funopen 3 .
+.It Fn el_end
+Clean up and finish with
+.Fa e ,
+assumed to have been created with
+.Fn el_init
+or
+.Fn el_init_fd .
+.It Fn el_reset
+Reset the tty and the parser.
+This should be called after an error which may have upset the tty's
+state.
+.It Fn el_gets
+Read a line from the tty.
+.Fa count
+is modified to contain the number of characters read.
+Returns the line read if successful, or
+.Dv NULL
+if no characters were read or if an error occurred.
+If an error occurred,
+.Fa count
+is set to \-1 and
+.Dv errno
+contains the error code that caused it.
+The return value may not remain valid across calls to
+.Fn el_gets
+and must be copied if the data is to be retained.
+.It Fn el_wgetc
+Read a wide character from the tty, respecting the current locale,
+or from the input queue described in
+.Xr editline 7
+if that is not empty, and store it in
+.Fa wc .
+If an invalid or incomplete character is found, it is discarded,
+.Va errno
+is set to
+.Er EILSEQ ,
+and the next character is read and stored in
+.Fa wc .
+Returns 1 if a valid character was read, 0 on end of file, or \-1 on
+.Xr read 2
+failure.
+In the latter case,
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.It Fn el_getc
+Read a wide character as described for
+.Fn el_wgetc
+and return 0 on end of file or \-1 on failure.
+If the wide character can be represented as a single-byte character,
+convert it with
+.Xr wctob 3 ,
+store the result in
+.Fa ch ,
+and return 1; otherwise, set
+.Va errno
+to
+.Er ERANGE
+and return \-1.
+In the C or POSIX locale, this simply reads a byte, but for any other
+locale, including UTF-8, this is rarely useful.
+.It Fn el_wpush
+Push the wide character string
+.Fa wcs
+back onto the input queue described in
+.Xr editline 7 .
+If the queue overflows, for example due to a recursive macro,
+or if an error occurs, for example because
+.Fa wcs
+is
+.Dv NULL
+or memory allocation fails, the function beeps at the user,
+but does not report the problem to the caller.
+.It Fn el_push
+Use the current locale to convert the multibyte string
+.Fa mbs
+to a wide character string, and pass the result to
+.Fn el_wpush .
+.It Fn el_parse
+Parses the
+.Fa argv
+array (which is
+.Fa argc
+elements in size)
+to execute builtin
+.Nm
+commands.
+If the command is prefixed with
+.Dq prog :
+then
+.Fn el_parse
+will only execute the command if
+.Dq prog
+matches the
+.Fa prog
+argument supplied to
+.Fn el_init .
+The return value is
+\-1 if the command is unknown,
+0 if there was no error or
+.Dq prog
+didn't match, or
+1 if the command returned an error.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Fn el_set
+Set
+.Nm
+parameters.
+.Fa op
+determines which parameter to set, and each operation has its
+own parameter list.
+Returns 0 on success, \-1 on failure.
+.Pp
+The following values for
+.Fa op
+are supported, along with the required argument list:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Dv EL_PROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)"
+Define prompt printing function as
+.Fa f ,
+which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
+.It Dv EL_PROMPT_ESC , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char c"
+Same as
+.Dv EL_PROMPT ,
+but the
+.Fa c
+argument indicates the start/stop literal prompt character.
+.Pp
+If a start/stop literal character is found in the prompt, the
+character itself
+is not printed, but characters after it are printed directly to the
+terminal without affecting the state of the current line.
+A subsequent second start/stop literal character ends this behavior.
+This is typically used to embed literal escape sequences that change the
+color/style of the terminal in the prompt.
+Note that the literal escape character cannot be the last character in the
+prompt, as the escape sequence is attached to the next character in the prompt.
+.Dv 0
+unsets it.
+.It Dv EL_REFRESH
+Re-display the current line on the next terminal line.
+.It Dv EL_RPROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)"
+Define right side prompt printing function as
+.Fa f ,
+which is to return a string that contains the prompt.
+.It Dv EL_RPROMPT_ESC , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char c"
+Define the right prompt printing function but with a literal escape character.
+.It Dv EL_TERMINAL , Fa "const char *type"
+Define terminal type of the tty to be
+.Fa type ,
+or to
+.Ev TERM
+if
+.Fa type
+is
+.Dv NULL .
+.It Dv EL_EDITOR , Fa "const char *mode"
+Set editing mode to
+.Fa mode ,
+which must be one of
+.Dq emacs
+or
+.Dq vi .
+.It Dv EL_SIGNAL , Fa "int flag"
+If
+.Fa flag
+is non-zero,
+.Nm
+will install its own signal handler for the following signals when
+reading command input:
+.Dv SIGCONT ,
+.Dv SIGHUP ,
+.Dv SIGINT ,
+.Dv SIGQUIT ,
+.Dv SIGSTOP ,
+.Dv SIGTERM ,
+.Dv SIGTSTP ,
+and
+.Dv SIGWINCH .
+Otherwise, the current signal handlers will be used.
+.It Dv EL_BIND , Fa "const char *" , Fa "..." , Dv NULL
+Perform the
+.Ic bind
+builtin command.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Dv EL_ECHOTC , Fa "const char *" , Fa "..." , Dv NULL
+Perform the
+.Ic echotc
+builtin command.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Dv EL_SETTC , Fa "const char *" , Fa "..." , Dv NULL
+Perform the
+.Ic settc
+builtin command.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Dv EL_SETTY , Fa "const char *" , Fa "..." , Dv NULL
+Perform the
+.Ic setty
+builtin command.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Dv EL_TELLTC , Fa "const char *" , Fa "..." , Dv NULL
+Perform the
+.Ic telltc
+builtin command.
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for more information.
+.It Dv EL_ADDFN , Fa "const char *name" , Fa "const char *help" , \
+Fa "unsigned char (*func)(EditLine *e, int ch)"
+Add a user defined function,
+.Fn func ,
+referred to as
+.Fa name
+which is invoked when a key which is bound to
+.Fa name
+is entered.
+.Fa help
+is a description of
+.Fa name .
+At invocation time,
+.Fa ch
+is the key which caused the invocation.
+The return value of
+.Fn func
+should be one of:
+.Bl -tag -width "CC_REDISPLAY"
+.It Dv CC_NORM
+Add a normal character.
+.It Dv CC_NEWLINE
+End of line was entered.
+.It Dv CC_EOF
+EOF was entered.
+.It Dv CC_ARGHACK
+Expecting further command input as arguments, do nothing visually.
+.It Dv CC_REFRESH

+Refresh display, and beep.
+.It Dv CC_CURSOR
+Cursor moved, so update and perform
+.Dv CC_REFRESH .

+.El
+.It Dv EL_HIST , Fa "History *(*func)(History *, int op, ...)" , \
+Fa "const char *ptr"
+Defines which history function to use, which is usually
+.Fn history .
+.Fa ptr
+should be the value returned by
+.Fn history_init .
+.It Dv EL_EDITMODE , Fa "int flag"
+If
+.Fa flag
+is non-zero,
+editing is enabled (the default).
+Note that this is only an indication, and does not
+affect the operation of
+.Nm .
+At this time, it is the caller's responsibility to
+check this
+(using
+.Fn el_get )
+to determine if editing should be enabled or not.
+.It Dv EL_UNBUFFERED , Fa "int flag"
+If
+.Fa flag
+is zero,
+unbuffered mode is disabled (the default).
+In unbuffered mode,
+.Fn el_gets
+will return immediately after processing a single character.
+.It Dv EL_GETCFN , Fa "el_rfunc_t f"
+Whenever reading a character, use the function
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
+.Ft int
+.Fo f
+.Fa "EditLine *e"
+.Fa "wchar_t *wc"
+.Fc
+.Ed
+which stores the character in
+.Fa wc
+and returns 1 on success, 0 on end of file, or \-1 on I/O or encoding
+errors.
+Functions internally using it include
+.Fn el_wgets ,
+.Fn el_wgetc ,
+.Fn el_gets ,
+and
+.Fn el_getc .
+Initially, a builtin function is installed, and replacing it
+is discouraged because writing such a function is very error prone.
+The builtin function can be restored at any time by passing the
+special value
+.Dv EL_BUILTIN_GETCFN
+instead of a function pointer.
+.It Dv EL_CLIENTDATA , Fa "void *data"
+Register
+.Fa data
+to be associated with this EditLine structure.
+It can be retrieved with the corresponding
+.Fn el_get
+call.

+Set the current
+.Nm editline
+file pointer for
+.Dq input
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 0 ,
+.Dq output
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 1 ,
+or
+.Dq error
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 2
+from
+.Fa fp .
+.El
+.It Fn el_get
+Get
+.Nm
+parameters.
+.Fa op
+determines which parameter to retrieve into
+.Fa result .
+Returns 0 if successful, \-1 otherwise.
+.Pp
+The following values for
+.Fa op
+are supported, along with actual type of
+.Fa result :
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Dv EL_PROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char *c"
+Set
+.Fa f
+to a pointer to the function that displays the prompt.
+If
+.Fa c
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+set it to the start/stop literal prompt character.
+.It Dv EL_RPROMPT , Fa "char *(*f)(EditLine *)" , Fa "char *c"
+Set
+.Fa f
+to a pointer to the function that displays the prompt.
+If
+.Fa c
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+set it to the start/stop literal prompt character.
+.It Dv EL_EDITOR , Fa "const char **n"
+Set the name of the editor in
+.Fa n ,
+which will be one of
+.Dq emacs
+or
+.Dq vi .
+.It Dv EL_GETTC , Fa "const char *name" , Fa "void *value"

+Set
+.Fa c
+to non-zero if editing is enabled.
+.It Dv EL_GETCFN , Fa "el_rfunc_t *f"
+Set
+.Fa f
+to a pointer to the function that reads characters, or to
+.Dv EL_BUILTIN_GETCFN
+if the builtin function is in use.
+.It Dv EL_CLIENTDATA , Fa "void **data"
+Set
+.Fa data
+to the previously registered client data set by an
+.Fn el_set
+call.
+.It Dv EL_UNBUFFERED , Fa "int *c"
+Set
+.Fa c
+to non-zero if unbuffered mode is enabled.
+.It Dv EL_GETFP , Fa "int fd", Fa "FILE **fp"
+Set
+.Fa fp
+to the current
+.Nm editline
+file pointer for
+.Dq input
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 0 ,
+.Dq output
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 1 ,
+or
+.Dq error
+.Fa fd
+=
+.Dv 2 .
+.El
+.It Fn el_source
+Initialize
+.Nm
+by reading the contents of
+.Fa file .
+.Fn el_parse
+is called for each line in
+.Fa file .
+If
+.Fa file
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+try
+.Pa $EDITRC
+and if that is not set
+.Pa $HOME/.editrc .
+Refer to
+.Xr editrc 5
+for details on the format of
+.Fa file .
+.Fn el_source
+returns 0 on success and \-1 on error.
+.It Fn el_resize
+Must be called if the terminal size changes.
+If
+.Dv EL_SIGNAL
+has been set with
+.Fn el_set ,
+then this is done automatically.
+Otherwise, it's the responsibility of the application to call
+.Fn el_resize
+on the appropriate occasions.
+.It Fn el_cursor
+Move the cursor to the right (if positive) or to the left (if negative)
+.Fa count
+characters.
+Returns the resulting offset of the cursor from the beginning of the line.
+.It Fn el_line

+.Fn history_init
+and freed by
+.Fn history_end .
+.Pp
+The following functions are available:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fn history_init
+Initialize the history list, and return a data structure
+to be used by all other history list functions, or
+.Dv NULL
+on failure.
+.It Fn history_end
+Clean up and finish with
+.Fa h ,
+assumed to have been created with
+.Fn history_init .

+removing the oldest entry to keep the list to the created size.
+If
+.Dv H_SETUNIQUE
+has been called with a non-zero argument, the element
+will not be entered into the history if its contents match
+the ones of the current history element.
+If the element is entered
+.Fn history
+returns 1; if it is ignored as a duplicate returns 0.
+Finally
+.Fn history
+returns \-1 if an error occurred.
+.It Dv H_PREV_STR , Fa "const char *str"
+Return the closest previous event that starts with
+.Fa str .
+.It Dv H_NEXT_STR , Fa "const char *str"
+Return the closest next event that starts with
+.Fa str .
+.It Dv H_PREV_EVENT , Fa "int e"
+Return the previous event numbered
+.Fa e .
+.It Dv H_NEXT_EVENT , Fa "int e"
+Return the next event numbered
+.Fa e .
+.It Dv H_LOAD , Fa "const char *file"
+Load the history list stored in
+.Fa file .
+.It Dv H_SAVE , Fa "const char *file"
+Save the history list to
+.Fa file .
+.It Dv H_SAVE_FP , Fa "FILE *fp"
+Save the history list to the opened
+.Ft FILE
+pointer
+.Fa fp .
+.It Dv H_SETUNIQUE , Fa "int unique"
+Set flag that adjacent identical event strings should not be entered
+into the history.
+.It Dv H_GETUNIQUE
+Retrieve the current setting if adjacent identical elements should
+be entered into the history.
+.It Dv H_DEL , Fa "int e"
+Delete the event numbered
+.Fa e .
+This function is only provided for
+.Xr readline 3
+compatibility.
+The caller is responsible for free'ing the string in the returned
+.Fa HistEvent .
+.El

+.Sh TOKENIZATION FUNCTIONS
+The tokenization functions use a common data structure,
+.Fa Tokenizer ,
+which is created by
+.Fn tok_init
+and freed by
+.Fn tok_end .
+.Pp
+The following functions are available:
+.Bl -tag -width 4n
+.It Fn tok_init
+Initialize the tokenizer, and return a data structure
+to be used by all other tokenizer functions.
+.Fa IFS
+contains the Input Field Separators, which defaults to
+.Aq space ,
+.Aq tab ,
+and
+.Aq newline
+if
+.Dv NULL .
+.It Fn tok_end
+Clean up and finish with
+.Fa t ,
+assumed to have been created with
+.Fn tok_init .
+.It Fn tok_reset
+Reset the tokenizer state.
+Use after a line has been successfully tokenized
+by
+.Fn tok_line
+or
+.Fn tok_str
+and before a new line is to be tokenized.
+.It Fn tok_line
+Tokenize
+.Fa li ,
+If successful, modify:
+.Fa argv
+to contain the words,
+.Fa argc
+to contain the number of words,
+.Fa cursorc
+(if not
+.Dv NULL )
+to contain the index of the word containing the cursor,
+and
+.Fa cursoro
+(if not
+.Dv NULL )
+to contain the offset within
+.Fa argv[cursorc]
+of the cursor.
+.Pp
+Returns
+0 if successful,
+\-1 for an internal error,
+1 for an unmatched single quote,
+2 for an unmatched double quote,
+and
+3 for a backslash quoted
+.Aq newline .
+A positive exit code indicates that another line should be read
+and tokenization attempted again.
+.
+.It Fn tok_str
+A simpler form of
+.Fn tok_line ;
+.Fa str
+is a NUL terminated string to tokenize.
