In addition to simple command-line editing, it supports recall +of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names, 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, along with a module +for tab-completion and lookup of filenames in a list of directories. + +Note that special care has been taken to allow the use of this library +in threaded programs. The option to enable this is discussed in the +Makefile, and specific discussions of thread safety are presented in +the included man pages. + +For instructions on how to compile and install the library, please see +the INSTALL file, which should be in the same directory as this file. + +Copyright and Disclaimer +------------------------ +Copyright (c) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2012, 2014 by Martin C.
