Liner
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Liner is a command line editor with history. It was inspired by linenoise;
|
|
everything Unix-like is a VT100 (or is trying very hard to be). If your
|
|
terminal is not pretending to be a VT100, change it. Liner also support
|
|
Windows.
|
|
|
|
Liner is released under the X11 license (which is similar to the new BSD
|
|
license).
