| 21 | r\bre\bea\bad\bdl\bli\bin\bne\be will read a line from the terminal and return it, |
| 22 | using p\bpr\bro\bom\bmp\bpt\bt as a prompt. If p\bpr\bro\bom\bmp\bpt\bt is N\bNU\bUL\bLL\bL or the empty |
| 23 | string, no prompt is issued. The line returned is allo- |
| 24 | cated with _\bm_\ba_\bl_\bl_\bo_\bc(3); the caller must free it when fin- |
| 25 | ished. The line returned has the final newline removed, |
| 26 | so only the text of the line remains. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | r\bre\bea\bad\bdl\bli\bin\bne\be offers editing capabilities while the user is |
| 29 | entering the line. By default, the line editing commands |
| 30 | are similar to those of emacs. A vi-style line editing |
| 31 | interface is also available. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | This manual page describes only the most basic use of |
| 34 | r\bre\bea\bad\bdl\bli\bin\bne\be. Much more functionality is available; see _\bT_\bh_\be |
| 35 | _\bG_\bN_\bU _\bR_\be_\ba_\bd_\bl_\bi_\bn_\be _\bL_\bi_\bb_\br_\ba_\br_\by and _\bT_\bh_\be _\bG_\bN_\bU _\bH_\bi_\bs_\bt_\bo_\br_\by _\bL_\bi_\bb_\br_\ba_\br_\by for addi- |
| 36 | tional information. |

| 39 | r\bre\bea\bad\bdl\bli\bin\bne\be returns the text of the line read. A blank line |
| 40 | returns the empty string. If E\bEO\bOF\bF is encountered while |
| 41 | reading a line, and the line is empty, N\bNU\bUL\bLL\bL is returned. |
| 42 | If an E\bEO\bOF\bF is read with a non-empty line, it is treated as |
| 43 | a newline. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | N\bNO\bOT\bTA\bAT\bTI\bIO\bON\bN |
| 46 | An emacs-style notation is used to denote keystrokes. |
| 47 | Control keys are denoted by C-_\bk_\be_\by, e.g., C-n means Con- |
| 48 | trol-N. Similarly, _\bm_\be_\bt_\ba keys are denoted by M-_\bk_\be_\by, so M-x |
| 49 | means Meta-X. (On keyboards without a _\bm_\be_\bt_\ba key, M-_\bx means |
| 50 | ESC _\bx, i.e., press the Escape key then the _\bx key. This |
| 51 | makes ESC the _\bm_\be_\bt_\ba _\bp_\br_\be_\bf_\bi_\bx. The combination M-C-_\bx means |
| 52 | ESC-Control-_\bx, or press the Escape key then hold the Con- |
| 53 | trol key while pressing the _\bx key.) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Readline commands may be given numeric _\ba_\br_\bg_\bu_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt_\bs, which |
| 56 | normally act as a repeat count. Sometimes, however, it is |
| 57 | the sign of the argument that is significant. Passing a |
| 58 | negative argument to a command that acts in the forward |
| 59 | direction (e.g., k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be) causes that command to act in |
| 60 | a backward direction. Commands whose behavior with argu- |
| 61 | ments deviates from this are noted. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | When a command is described as _\bk_\bi_\bl_\bl_\bi_\bn_\bg text, the text |
| 64 | deleted is saved for possible future retrieval (_\by_\ba_\bn_\bk_\bi_\bn_\bg). |
| 65 | The killed text is saved in a _\bk_\bi_\bl_\bl _\br_\bi_\bn_\bg. Consecutive |
| 66 | kills cause the text to be accumulated into one unit, |
| 67 | which can be yanked all at once. Commands which do not |
| 68 | kill text separate the chunks of text on the kill ring. |
| 69 | |

| 71 | Readline is customized by putting commands in an initial- |
| 72 | ization file (the _\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc file). The name of this file is |
| 73 | taken from the value of the I\bIN\bNP\bPU\bUT\bTR\bRC\bC environment variable. |
| 74 | If that variable is unset, the default is _\b~_\b/_\b._\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc. |
| 75 | When a program which uses the readline library starts up, |
| 76 | the init file is read, and the key bindings and variables |
| 77 | are set. There are only a few basic constructs allowed in |
| 78 | the readline init file. Blank lines are ignored. Lines |
| 79 | beginning with a #\b# are comments. Lines beginning with a $\b$ |
| 80 | indicate conditional constructs. Other lines denote key |
| 81 | bindings and variable settings. Each program using this |
| 82 | library may add its own commands and bindings. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | For example, placing |
| 85 | |
| 86 | M-Control-u: universal-argument |
| 87 | or |
| 88 | C-Meta-u: universal-argument |
| 89 | |
| 90 | into the _\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc would make M-C-u execute the readline |
| 91 | command _\bu_\bn_\bi_\bv_\be_\br_\bs_\ba_\bl_\b-_\ba_\br_\bg_\bu_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | The following symbolic character names are recognized |
| 94 | while processing key bindings: _\bD_\bE_\bL, _\bE_\bS_\bC, _\bE_\bS_\bC_\bA_\bP_\bE, _\bL_\bF_\bD, _\bN_\bE_\bW_\b- |
| 95 | _\bL_\bI_\bN_\bE, _\bR_\bE_\bT, _\bR_\bE_\bT_\bU_\bR_\bN, _\bR_\bU_\bB_\bO_\bU_\bT, _\bS_\bP_\bA_\bC_\bE, _\bS_\bP_\bC, and _\bT_\bA_\bB. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | In addition to command names, readline allows keys to be |
| 98 | bound to a string that is inserted when the key is pressed |
| 99 | (a _\bm_\ba_\bc_\br_\bo). |
| 100 | |
| 101 | |
| 102 | K\bKe\bey\by B\bBi\bin\bnd\bdi\bin\bng\bgs\bs |
| 103 | The syntax for controlling key bindings in the _\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc |
| 104 | file is simple. All that is required is the name of the |
| 105 | command or the text of a macro and a key sequence to which |
| 106 | it should be bound. The name may be specified in one of |
| 107 | two ways: as a symbolic key name, possibly with _\bM_\be_\bt_\ba_\b- or |
| 108 | _\bC_\bo_\bn_\bt_\br_\bo_\bl_\b- prefixes, or as a key sequence. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | When using the form k\bke\bey\byn\bna\bam\bme\be:_\bf_\bu_\bn_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\b-_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be or _\bm_\ba_\bc_\br_\bo, _\bk_\be_\by_\b- |
| 111 | _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be is the name of a key spelled out in English. For |
| 112 | example: |
| 113 | |
| 114 | Control-u: universal-argument |
| 115 | Meta-Rubout: backward-kill-word |
| 116 | Control-o: "> output" |
| 117 | |
| 118 | In the above example, _\bC_\b-_\bu is bound to the function u\bun\bni\biv\bve\ber\br-\b- |
| 119 | s\bsa\bal\bl-\b-a\bar\brg\bgu\bum\bme\ben\bnt\bt, _\bM_\b-_\bD_\bE_\bL is bound to the function b\bba\bac\bck\bk-\b- |
| 120 | w\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd, and _\bC_\b-_\bo is bound to run the macro |
| 121 | expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the |
| 122 | text ``> output'' into the line). |
| 123 | |
| 124 | In the second form, "\b"k\bke\bey\bys\bse\beq\bq"\b":_\bf_\bu_\bn_\bc_\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn_\b-_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be or _\bm_\ba_\bc_\br_\bo, k\bke\bey\by-\b- |
| 125 | s\bse\beq\bq differs from k\bke\bey\byn\bna\bam\bme\be above in that strings denoting an |
| 126 | entire key sequence may be specified by placing the |
| 127 | sequence within double quotes. Some GNU Emacs style key |
| 128 | escapes can be used, as in the following example, but the |
| 129 | symbolic character names are not recognized. |
| 130 | |
| 131 | "\C-u": universal-argument |
| 132 | "\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file |
| 133 | "\e[11~": "Function Key 1" |
| 134 | |
| 135 | In this example, _\bC_\b-_\bu is again bound to the function u\bun\bni\bi-\b- |
| 136 | v\bve\ber\brs\bsa\bal\bl-\b-a\bar\brg\bgu\bum\bme\ben\bnt\bt. _\bC_\b-_\bx _\bC_\b-_\br is bound to the function |
| 137 | r\bre\be-\b-r\bre\bea\bad\bd-\b-i\bin\bni\bit\bt-\b-f\bfi\bil\ble\be, and _\bE_\bS_\bC _\b[ _\b1 _\b1 _\b~ is bound to insert the |
| 138 | text ``Function Key 1''. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | The full set of GNU Emacs style escape sequences available |
| 141 | when specifying key sequences is |
| 142 | \\b\C\bC-\b- control prefix |
| 143 | \\b\M\bM-\b- meta prefix |
| 144 | \\b\e\be an escape character |
| 145 | \\b\\\b\ backslash |
| 146 | \\b\"\b" literal ", a double quote |
| 147 | \\b\'\b' literal ', a single quote |
| 148 | |
| 149 | In addition to the GNU Emacs style escape sequences, a |
| 150 | second set of backslash escapes is available: |
| 151 | \\b\a\ba alert (bell) |
| 152 | \\b\b\bb backspace |
| 153 | \\b\d\bd delete |
| 154 | \\b\f\bf form feed |
| 155 | \\b\n\bn newline |
| 156 | \\b\r\br carriage return |
| 157 | \\b\t\bt horizontal tab |
| 158 | \\b\v\bv vertical tab |
| 159 | \\b\_\bn_\bn_\bn the eight-bit character whose value is the |
| 160 | octal value _\bn_\bn_\bn (one to three digits) |
| 161 | \\b\x\bx_\bH_\bH the eight-bit character whose value is the |
| 162 | hexadecimal value _\bH_\bH (one or two hex digits) |
| 163 | |
| 164 | When entering the text of a macro, single or double quotes |
| 165 | should be used to indicate a macro definition. Unquoted |
| 166 | text is assumed to be a function name. In the macro body, |
| 167 | the backslash escapes described above are expanded. Back- |
| 168 | slash will quote any other character in the macro text, |
| 169 | including " and '. |
| 170 | |
| 171 | B\bBa\bas\bsh\bh allows the current readline key bindings to be dis- |
| 172 | played or modified with the b\bbi\bin\bnd\bd builtin command. The |
| 173 | editing mode may be switched during interactive use by |
| 174 | using the -\b-o\bo option to the s\bse\bet\bt builtin command. Other |
| 175 | programs using this library provide similar mechanisms. |
| 176 | The _\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc file may be edited and re-read if a program |
| 177 | does not provide any other means to incorporate new bind- |
| 178 | ings. |
| 179 | |
| 180 | V\bVa\bar\bri\bia\bab\bbl\ble\bes\bs |
| 181 | Readline has variables that can be used to further cus- |
| 182 | tomize its behavior. A variable may be set in the _\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc |
| 183 | file with a statement of the form |
| 184 | |
| 185 | s\bse\bet\bt _\bv_\ba_\br_\bi_\ba_\bb_\bl_\be_\b-_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be _\bv_\ba_\bl_\bu_\be |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Except where noted, readline variables can take the values |
| 188 | O\bOn\bn or O\bOf\bff\bf (without regard to case). The variables and |
| 189 | their default values are: |
| 190 | |
| 191 | b\bbe\bel\bll\bl-\b-s\bst\bty\byl\ble\be (\b(a\bau\bud\bdi\bib\bbl\ble\be)\b) |
| 192 | Controls what happens when readline wants to ring |
| 193 | the terminal bell. If set to n\bno\bon\bne\be, readline never |
| 194 | rings the bell. If set to v\bvi\bis\bsi\bib\bbl\ble\be, readline uses a |
| 195 | visible bell if one is available. If set to a\bau\bud\bdi\bi-\b- |
| 196 | b\bbl\ble\be, readline attempts to ring the terminal's bell. |
| 197 | c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt-\b-b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bn (\b(`\b``\b`#\b#'\b''\b')\b) |
| 198 | The string that is inserted in v\bvi\bi mode when the |
| 199 | i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt-\b-c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt command is executed. This command |
| 200 | is bound to M\bM-\b-#\b# in emacs mode and to #\b# in vi com- |
| 201 | mand mode. |
| 202 | c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bn-\b-i\big\bgn\bno\bor\bre\be-\b-c\bca\bas\bse\be (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 203 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline performs filename matching |
| 204 | and completion in a case-insensitive fashion. |
| 205 | c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bn-\b-q\bqu\bue\ber\bry\by-\b-i\bit\bte\bem\bms\bs (\b(1\b10\b00\b0)\b) |
| 206 | This determines when the user is queried about |
| 207 | viewing the number of possible completions gener- |
| 208 | ated by the p\bpo\bos\bss\bsi\bib\bbl\ble\be-\b-c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bns\bs command. It may |
| 209 | be set to any integer value greater than or equal |
| 210 | to zero. If the number of possible completions is |
| 211 | greater than or equal to the value of this vari- |
| 212 | able, the user is asked whether or not he wishes to |
| 213 | view them; otherwise they are simply listed on the |
| 214 | terminal. |
| 215 | c\bco\bon\bnv\bve\ber\brt\bt-\b-m\bme\bet\bta\ba (\b(O\bOn\bn)\b) |
| 216 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline will convert characters with |
| 217 | the eighth bit set to an ASCII key sequence by |
| 218 | stripping the eighth bit and prefixing it with an |
| 219 | escape character (in effect, using escape as the |
| 220 | _\bm_\be_\bt_\ba _\bp_\br_\be_\bf_\bi_\bx). |
| 221 | d\bdi\bis\bsa\bab\bbl\ble\be-\b-c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bn (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 222 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline will inhibit word comple- |
| 223 | tion. Completion characters will be inserted into |
| 224 | the line as if they had been mapped to s\bse\bel\blf\bf-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt. |
| 225 | e\bed\bdi\bit\bti\bin\bng\bg-\b-m\bmo\bod\bde\be (\b(e\bem\bma\bac\bcs\bs)\b) |
| 226 | Controls whether readline begins with a set of key |
| 227 | bindings similar to emacs or vi. e\bed\bdi\bit\bti\bin\bng\bg-\b-m\bmo\bod\bde\be can |
| 228 | be set to either e\bem\bma\bac\bcs\bs or v\bvi\bi. |
| 229 | e\ben\bna\bab\bbl\ble\be-\b-k\bke\bey\byp\bpa\bad\bd (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 230 | When set to O\bOn\bn, readline will try to enable the |
| 231 | application keypad when it is called. Some systems |
| 232 | need this to enable the arrow keys. |
| 233 | e\bex\bxp\bpa\ban\bnd\bd-\b-t\bti\bil\bld\bde\be (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 234 | If set to o\bon\bn, tilde expansion is performed when |
| 235 | readline attempts word completion. |
| 236 | h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by-\b-p\bpr\bre\bes\bse\ber\brv\bve\be-\b-p\bpo\boi\bin\bnt\bt |
| 237 | If set to o\bon\bn, the history code attempts to place |
| 238 | point at the same location on each history line |
| 239 | retrived with p\bpr\bre\bev\bvi\bio\bou\bus\bs-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by or n\bne\bex\bxt\bt-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by. |
| 240 | h\bho\bor\bri\biz\bzo\bon\bnt\bta\bal\bl-\b-s\bsc\bcr\bro\bol\bll\bl-\b-m\bmo\bod\bde\be (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 241 | When set to O\bOn\bn, makes readline use a single line |
| 242 | for display, scrolling the input horizontally on a |
| 243 | single screen line when it becomes longer than the |
| 244 | screen width rather than wrapping to a new line. |
| 245 | i\bin\bnp\bpu\but\bt-\b-m\bme\bet\bta\ba (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 246 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline will enable eight-bit input |
| 247 | (that is, it will not clear the eighth bit in the |
| 248 | characters it reads), regardless of what the termi- |
| 249 | nal claims it can support. The name m\bme\bet\bta\ba-\b-f\bfl\bla\bag\bg is a |
| 250 | synonym for this variable. |
| 251 | i\bis\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-t\bte\ber\brm\bmi\bin\bna\bat\bto\bor\brs\bs (\b(`\b``\b`C\bC-\b-[\b[ C\bC-\b-J\bJ'\b''\b')\b) |
| 252 | The string of characters that should terminate an |
| 253 | incremental search without subsequently executing |
| 254 | the character as a command. If this variable has |
| 255 | not been given a value, the characters _\bE_\bS_\bC and _\bC_\b-_\bJ |
| 256 | will terminate an incremental search. |
| 257 | k\bke\bey\bym\bma\bap\bp (\b(e\bem\bma\bac\bcs\bs)\b) |
| 258 | Set the current readline keymap. The set of legal |
| 259 | keymap names is _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b, _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b-_\bs_\bt_\ba_\bn_\bd_\ba_\br_\bd_\b, _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b-_\bm_\be_\bt_\ba_\b, |
| 260 | _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b-_\bc_\bt_\bl_\bx_\b, _\bv_\bi_\b, _\bv_\bi_\b-_\bm_\bo_\bv_\be_\b, _\bv_\bi_\b-_\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd, and _\bv_\bi_\b-_\bi_\bn_\bs_\be_\br_\bt. |
| 261 | _\bv_\bi is equivalent to _\bv_\bi_\b-_\bc_\bo_\bm_\bm_\ba_\bn_\bd; _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs is equivalent |
| 262 | to _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b-_\bs_\bt_\ba_\bn_\bd_\ba_\br_\bd. The default value is _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs. |
| 263 | The value of e\bed\bdi\bit\bti\bin\bng\bg-\b-m\bmo\bod\bde\be also affects the default |
| 264 | keymap. |
| 265 | m\bma\bar\brk\bk-\b-d\bdi\bir\bre\bec\bct\bto\bor\bri\bie\bes\bs (\b(O\bOn\bn)\b) |
| 266 | If set to O\bOn\bn, completed directory names have a |
| 267 | slash appended. |
| 268 | m\bma\bar\brk\bk-\b-m\bmo\bod\bdi\bif\bfi\bie\bed\bd-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\bes\bs (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 269 | If set to O\bOn\bn, history lines that have been modified |
| 270 | are displayed with a preceding asterisk (*\b*). |
| 271 | m\bma\bar\brk\bk-\b-s\bsy\bym\bml\bli\bin\bnk\bke\bed\bd-\b-d\bdi\bir\bre\bec\bct\bto\bor\bri\bie\bes\bs (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 272 | If set to O\bOn\bn, completed names which are symbolic |
| 273 | links to directories have a slash appended (subject |
| 274 | to the value of m\bma\bar\brk\bk-\b-d\bdi\bir\bre\bec\bct\bto\bor\bri\bie\bes\bs). |
| 275 | m\bma\bat\btc\bch\bh-\b-h\bhi\bid\bdd\bde\ben\bn-\b-f\bfi\bil\ble\bes\bs (\b(O\bOn\bn)\b) |
| 276 | This variable, when set to O\bOn\bn, causes readline to |
| 277 | match files whose names begin with a `.' (hidden |
| 278 | files) when performing filename completion, unless |
| 279 | the leading `.' is supplied by the user in the |
| 280 | filename to be completed. |
| 281 | o\bou\but\btp\bpu\but\bt-\b-m\bme\bet\bta\ba (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 282 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline will display characters with |
| 283 | the eighth bit set directly rather than as a meta- |
| 284 | prefixed escape sequence. |
| 285 | p\bpa\bag\bge\be-\b-c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bns\bs (\b(O\bOn\bn)\b) |
| 286 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline uses an internal _\bm_\bo_\br_\be-like |
| 287 | pager to display a screenful of possible comple- |
| 288 | tions at a time. |
| 289 | p\bpr\bri\bin\bnt\bt-\b-c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bti\bio\bon\bns\bs-\b-h\bho\bor\bri\biz\bzo\bon\bnt\bta\bal\bll\bly\by (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 290 | If set to O\bOn\bn, readline will display completions |
| 291 | with matches sorted horizontally in alphabetical |
| 292 | order, rather than down the screen. |
| 293 | s\bsh\bho\bow\bw-\b-a\bal\bll\bl-\b-i\bif\bf-\b-a\bam\bmb\bbi\big\bgu\buo\bou\bus\bs (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 294 | This alters the default behavior of the completion |
| 295 | functions. If set to o\bon\bn, words which have more |
| 296 | than one possible completion cause the matches to |
| 297 | be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell. |
| 298 | v\bvi\bis\bsi\bib\bbl\ble\be-\b-s\bst\bta\bat\bts\bs (\b(O\bOf\bff\bf)\b) |
| 299 | If set to O\bOn\bn, a character denoting a file's type as |
| 300 | reported by _\bs_\bt_\ba_\bt(2) is appended to the filename |
| 301 | when listing possible completions. |
| 302 | |
| 303 | C\bCo\bon\bnd\bdi\bit\bti\bio\bon\bna\bal\bl C\bCo\bon\bns\bst\btr\bru\buc\bct\bts\bs |
| 304 | Readline implements a facility similar in spirit to the |
| 305 | conditional compilation features of the C preprocessor |
| 306 | which allows key bindings and variable settings to be per- |
| 307 | formed as the result of tests. There are four parser |
| 308 | directives used. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | $\b$i\bif\bf The $\b$i\bif\bf construct allows bindings to be made based |
| 311 | on the editing mode, the terminal being used, or |
| 312 | the application using readline. The text of the |
| 313 | test extends to the end of the line; no characters |
| 314 | are required to isolate it. |
| 315 | |
| 316 | m\bmo\bod\bde\be The m\bmo\bod\bde\be=\b= form of the $\b$i\bif\bf directive is used |
| 317 | to test whether readline is in emacs or vi |
| 318 | mode. This may be used in conjunction with |
| 319 | the s\bse\bet\bt k\bke\bey\bym\bma\bap\bp command, for instance, to set |
| 320 | bindings in the _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b-_\bs_\bt_\ba_\bn_\bd_\ba_\br_\bd and _\be_\bm_\ba_\bc_\bs_\b- |
| 321 | _\bc_\bt_\bl_\bx keymaps only if readline is starting |
| 322 | out in emacs mode. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | t\bte\ber\brm\bm The t\bte\ber\brm\bm=\b= form may be used to include termi- |
| 325 | nal-specific key bindings, perhaps to bind |
| 326 | the key sequences output by the terminal's |
| 327 | function keys. The word on the right side |
| 328 | of the =\b= is tested against the full name of |
| 329 | the terminal and the portion of the terminal |
| 330 | name before the first -\b-. This allows _\bs_\bu_\bn to |
| 331 | match both _\bs_\bu_\bn and _\bs_\bu_\bn_\b-_\bc_\bm_\bd, for instance. |
| 332 | |
| 333 | a\bap\bpp\bpl\bli\bic\bca\bat\bti\bio\bon\bn |
| 334 | The a\bap\bpp\bpl\bli\bic\bca\bat\bti\bio\bon\bn construct is used to include |
| 335 | application-specific settings. Each program |
| 336 | using the readline library sets the _\ba_\bp_\bp_\bl_\bi_\bc_\ba_\b- |
| 337 | _\bt_\bi_\bo_\bn _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be, and an initialization file can |
| 338 | test for a particular value. This could be |
| 339 | used to bind key sequences to functions use- |
| 340 | ful for a specific program. For instance, |
| 341 | the following command adds a key sequence |
| 342 | that quotes the current or previous word in |
| 343 | Bash: |
| 344 | |
| 345 | $\b$i\bif\bf Bash |
| 346 | # Quote the current or previous word |
| 347 | "\C-xq": "\eb\"\ef\"" |
| 348 | $\b$e\ben\bnd\bdi\bif\bf |
| 349 | |
| 350 | $\b$e\ben\bnd\bdi\bif\bf This command, as seen in the previous example, ter- |
| 351 | minates an $\b$i\bif\bf command. |
| 352 | |
| 353 | $\b$e\bel\bls\bse\be Commands in this branch of the $\b$i\bif\bf directive are |
| 354 | executed if the test fails. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | $\b$i\bin\bnc\bcl\blu\bud\bde\be |
| 357 | This directive takes a single filename as an argu- |
| 358 | ment and reads commands and bindings from that |
| 359 | file. For example, the following directive would |
| 360 | read _\b/_\be_\bt_\bc_\b/_\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc: |
| 361 | |
| 362 | $\b$i\bin\bnc\bcl\blu\bud\bde\be _\b/_\be_\bt_\bc_\b/_\bi_\bn_\bp_\bu_\bt_\br_\bc |
| 363 | |
| 364 | S\bSE\bEA\bAR\bRC\bCH\bHI\bIN\bNG\bG |
| 365 | Readline provides commands for searching through the com- |
| 366 | mand history for lines containing a specified string. |
| 367 | There are two search modes: _\bi_\bn_\bc_\br_\be_\bm_\be_\bn_\bt_\ba_\bl and _\bn_\bo_\bn_\b-_\bi_\bn_\bc_\br_\be_\bm_\be_\bn_\b- |
| 368 | _\bt_\ba_\bl. |
| 369 | |
| 370 | Incremental searches begin before the user has finished |
| 371 | typing the search string. As each character of the search |
| 372 | string is typed, readline displays the next entry from the |
| 373 | history matching the string typed so far. An incremental |
| 374 | search requires only as many characters as needed to find |
| 375 | the desired history entry. To search backward in the his- |
| 376 | tory for a particular string, type C\bC-\b-r\br. Typing C\bC-\b-s\bs |
| 377 | searches forward through the history. The characters pre- |
| 378 | sent in the value of the i\bis\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-t\bte\ber\brm\bmi\bin\bna\bat\bto\bor\brs\bs variable are |
| 379 | used to terminate an incremental search. If that variable |
| 380 | has not been assigned a value the _\bE_\bs_\bc_\ba_\bp_\be and C\bC-\b-J\bJ charac- |
| 381 | ters will terminate an incremental search. C\bC-\b-G\bG will abort |
| 382 | an incremental search and restore the original line. When |
| 383 | the search is terminated, the history entry containing the |
| 384 | search string becomes the current line. |
| 385 | |
| 386 | To find other matching entries in the history list, type |
| 387 | C\bC-\b-s\bs or C\bC-\b-r\br as appropriate. This will search backward or |
| 388 | forward in the history for the next line matching the |
| 389 | search string typed so far. Any other key sequence bound |
| 390 | to a readline command will terminate the search and exe- |
| 391 | cute that command. For instance, a newline will terminate |
| 392 | the search and accept the line, thereby executing the com- |
| 393 | mand from the history list. A movement command will ter- |
| 394 | minate the search, make the last line found the current |
| 395 | line, and begin editing. |
| 396 | |
| 397 | Non-incremental searches read the entire search string |
| 398 | before starting to search for matching history lines. The |
| 399 | search string may be typed by the user or be part of the |
| 400 | contents of the current line. |
| 401 | |
| 402 | E\bED\bDI\bIT\bTI\bIN\bNG\bG C\bCO\bOM\bMM\bMA\bAN\bND\bDS\bS |
| 403 | The following is a list of the names of the commands and |
| 404 | the default key sequences to which they are bound. Com- |
| 405 | mand names without an accompanying key sequence are |
| 406 | unbound by default. |
| 407 | |
| 408 | In the following descriptions, _\bp_\bo_\bi_\bn_\bt refers to the current |
| 409 | cursor position, and _\bm_\ba_\br_\bk refers to a cursor position |
| 410 | saved by the s\bse\bet\bt-\b-m\bma\bar\brk\bk command. The text between the point |
| 411 | and mark is referred to as the _\br_\be_\bg_\bi_\bo_\bn. |

| 415 | Move to the start of the current line. |
| 416 | e\ben\bnd\bd-\b-o\bof\bf-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be (\b(C\bC-\b-e\be)\b) |
| 417 | Move to the end of the line. |
| 418 | f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br (\b(C\bC-\b-f\bf)\b) |
| 419 | Move forward a character. |
| 420 | b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br (\b(C\bC-\b-b\bb)\b) |
| 421 | Move back a character. |
| 422 | f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd (\b(M\bM-\b-f\bf)\b) |
| 423 | Move forward to the end of the next word. Words |
| 424 | are composed of alphanumeric characters (letters |
| 425 | and digits). |
| 426 | b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd (\b(M\bM-\b-b\bb)\b) |
| 427 | Move back to the start of the current or previous |
| 428 | word. Words are composed of alphanumeric charac- |
| 429 | ters (letters and digits). |
| 430 | c\bcl\ble\bea\bar\br-\b-s\bsc\bcr\bre\bee\ben\bn (\b(C\bC-\b-l\bl)\b) |
| 431 | Clear the screen leaving the current line at the |
| 432 | top of the screen. With an argument, refresh the |
| 433 | current line without clearing the screen. |
| 434 | r\bre\bed\bdr\bra\baw\bw-\b-c\bcu\bur\brr\bre\ben\bnt\bt-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be |
| 435 | Refresh the current line. |

| 439 | Accept the line regardless of where the cursor is. |
| 440 | If this line is non-empty, it may be added to the |
| 441 | history list for future recall with a\bad\bdd\bd_\b_h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by(\b()\b). |
| 442 | If the line is a modified history line, the history |
| 443 | line is restored to its original state. |
| 444 | p\bpr\bre\bev\bvi\bio\bou\bus\bs-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(C\bC-\b-p\bp)\b) |
| 445 | Fetch the previous command from the history list, |
| 446 | moving back in the list. |
| 447 | n\bne\bex\bxt\bt-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(C\bC-\b-n\bn)\b) |
| 448 | Fetch the next command from the history list, mov- |
| 449 | ing forward in the list. |
| 450 | b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bnn\bni\bin\bng\bg-\b-o\bof\bf-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(M\bM-\b-<\b<)\b) |
| 451 | Move to the first line in the history. |
| 452 | e\ben\bnd\bd-\b-o\bof\bf-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(M\bM-\b->\b>)\b) |
| 453 | Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the |
| 454 | line currently being entered. |
| 455 | r\bre\bev\bve\ber\brs\bse\be-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(C\bC-\b-r\br)\b) |
| 456 | Search backward starting at the current line and |
| 457 | moving `up' through the history as necessary. This |
| 458 | is an incremental search. |
| 459 | f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(C\bC-\b-s\bs)\b) |
| 460 | Search forward starting at the current line and |
| 461 | moving `down' through the history as necessary. |
| 462 | This is an incremental search. |
| 463 | n\bno\bon\bn-\b-i\bin\bnc\bcr\bre\bem\bme\ben\bnt\bta\bal\bl-\b-r\bre\bev\bve\ber\brs\bse\be-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(M\bM-\b-p\bp)\b) |
| 464 | Search backward through the history starting at the |
| 465 | current line using a non-incremental search for a |
| 466 | string supplied by the user. |
| 467 | n\bno\bon\bn-\b-i\bin\bnc\bcr\bre\bem\bme\ben\bnt\bta\bal\bl-\b-f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by (\b(M\bM-\b-n\bn)\b) |
| 468 | Search forward through the history using a non- |
| 469 | incremental search for a string supplied by the |
| 470 | user. |
| 471 | h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd |
| 472 | Search forward through the history for the string |
| 473 | of characters between the start of the current line |
| 474 | and the current cursor position (the _\bp_\bo_\bi_\bn_\bt). This |
| 475 | is a non-incremental search. |
| 476 | h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh-\b-b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd |
| 477 | Search backward through the history for the string |
| 478 | of characters between the start of the current line |
| 479 | and the point. This is a non-incremental search. |
| 480 | y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-n\bnt\bth\bh-\b-a\bar\brg\bg (\b(M\bM-\b-C\bC-\b-y\by)\b) |
| 481 | Insert the first argument to the previous command |
| 482 | (usually the second word on the previous line) at |
| 483 | point. With an argument _\bn, insert the _\bnth word |
| 484 | from the previous command (the words in the previ- |
| 485 | ous command begin with word 0). A negative argu- |
| 486 | ment inserts the _\bnth word from the end of the pre- |
| 487 | vious command. |
| 488 | y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-l\bla\bas\bst\bt-\b-a\bar\brg\bg (\b(M\bM-\b-.\b.,\b, M\bM-\b-_\b_)\b) |
| 489 | Insert the last argument to the previous command |
| 490 | (the last word of the previous history entry). |
| 491 | With an argument, behave exactly like y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-n\bnt\bth\bh-\b-a\bar\brg\bg. |
| 492 | Successive calls to y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-l\bla\bas\bst\bt-\b-a\bar\brg\bg move back through |
| 493 | the history list, inserting the last argument of |
| 494 | each line in turn. |
| 495 | |
| 496 | C\bCo\bom\bmm\bma\ban\bnd\bds\bs f\bfo\bor\br C\bCh\bha\ban\bng\bgi\bin\bng\bg T\bTe\bex\bxt\bt |
| 497 | d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br (\b(C\bC-\b-d\bd)\b) |
| 498 | Delete the character at point. If point is at the |
| 499 | beginning of the line, there are no characters in |
| 500 | the line, and the last character typed was not |
| 501 | bound to d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br, then return E\bEO\bOF\bF. |
| 502 | b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br (\b(R\bRu\bub\bbo\bou\but\bt)\b) |
| 503 | Delete the character behind the cursor. When given |
| 504 | a numeric argument, save the deleted text on the |
| 505 | kill ring. |
| 506 | f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br |
| 507 | Delete the character under the cursor, unless the |
| 508 | cursor is at the end of the line, in which case the |
| 509 | character behind the cursor is deleted. |
| 510 | q\bqu\buo\bot\bte\bed\bd-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt (\b(C\bC-\b-q\bq,\b, C\bC-\b-v\bv)\b) |
| 511 | Add the next character that you type to the line |
| 512 | verbatim. This is how to insert characters like |
| 513 | C\bC-\b-q\bq, for example. |
| 514 | t\bta\bab\bb-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt (\b(M\bM-\b-T\bTA\bAB\bB)\b) |
| 515 | Insert a tab character. |
| 516 | s\bse\bel\blf\bf-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt (\b(a\ba,\b, b\bb,\b, A\bA,\b, 1\b1,\b, !\b!,\b, .\b..\b..\b.)\b) |
| 517 | Insert the character typed. |
| 518 | t\btr\bra\ban\bns\bsp\bpo\bos\bse\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\brs\bs (\b(C\bC-\b-t\bt)\b) |
| 519 | Drag the character before point forward over the |
| 520 | character at point, moving point forward as well. |
| 521 | If point is at the end of the line, then this |
| 522 | transposes the two characters before point. Nega- |
| 523 | tive arguments have no effect. |
| 524 | t\btr\bra\ban\bns\bsp\bpo\bos\bse\be-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bds\bs (\b(M\bM-\b-t\bt)\b) |
| 525 | Drag the word before point past the word after |
| 526 | point, moving point over that word as well. If |
| 527 | point is at the end of the line, this transposes |
| 528 | the last two words on the line. |
| 529 | u\bup\bpc\bca\bas\bse\be-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd (\b(M\bM-\b-u\bu)\b) |
| 530 | Uppercase the current (or following) word. With a |
| 531 | negative argument, uppercase the previous word, but |
| 532 | do not move point. |
| 533 | d\bdo\bow\bwn\bnc\bca\bas\bse\be-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd (\b(M\bM-\b-l\bl)\b) |
| 534 | Lowercase the current (or following) word. With a |
| 535 | negative argument, lowercase the previous word, but |
| 536 | do not move point. |
| 537 | c\bca\bap\bpi\bit\bta\bal\bli\biz\bze\be-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd (\b(M\bM-\b-c\bc)\b) |
| 538 | Capitalize the current (or following) word. With a |
| 539 | negative argument, capitalize the previous word, |
| 540 | but do not move point. |
| 541 | o\bov\bve\ber\brw\bwr\bri\bit\bte\be-\b-m\bmo\bod\bde\be |
| 542 | Toggle overwrite mode. With an explicit positive |
| 543 | numeric argument, switches to overwrite mode. With |
| 544 | an explicit non-positive numeric argument, switches |
| 545 | to insert mode. This command affects only e\bem\bma\bac\bcs\bs |
| 546 | mode; v\bvi\bi mode does overwrite differently. Each |
| 547 | call to _\br_\be_\ba_\bd_\bl_\bi_\bn_\be_\b(_\b) starts in insert mode. In over- |
| 548 | write mode, characters bound to s\bse\bel\blf\bf-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt replace |
| 549 | the text at point rather than pushing the text to |
| 550 | the right. Characters bound to b\bba\bac\bck\bk-\b- |
| 551 | w\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-c\bch\bha\bar\br replace the character before point |
| 552 | with a space. By default, this command is unbound. |
| 553 | |
| 554 | K\bKi\bil\bll\bli\bin\bng\bg a\ban\bnd\bd Y\bYa\ban\bnk\bki\bin\bng\bg |
| 555 | k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be (\b(C\bC-\b-k\bk)\b) |
| 556 | Kill the text from point to the end of the line. |
| 557 | b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be (\b(C\bC-\b-x\bx R\bRu\bub\bbo\bou\but\bt)\b) |
| 558 | Kill backward to the beginning of the line. |
| 559 | u\bun\bni\bix\bx-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be-\b-d\bdi\bis\bsc\bca\bar\brd\bd (\b(C\bC-\b-u\bu)\b) |
| 560 | Kill backward from point to the beginning of the |
| 561 | line. The killed text is saved on the kill-ring. |
| 562 | k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-w\bwh\bho\bol\ble\be-\b-l\bli\bin\bne\be |
| 563 | Kill all characters on the current line, no matter |
| 564 | where point is. |

| 566 | Kill from point the end of the current word, or if |
| 567 | between words, to the end of the next word. Word |
| 568 | boundaries are the same as those used by f\bfo\bor\br-\b- |
| 569 | w\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd. |

| 571 | Kill the word behind point. Word boundaries are |
| 572 | the same as those used by b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd. |
| 573 | u\bun\bni\bix\bx-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd-\b-r\bru\bub\bbo\bou\but\bt (\b(C\bC-\b-w\bw)\b) |
| 574 | Kill the word behind point, using white space as a |
| 575 | word boundary. The killed text is saved on the |
| 576 | kill-ring. |
| 577 | d\bde\bel\ble\bet\bte\be-\b-h\bho\bor\bri\biz\bzo\bon\bnt\bta\bal\bl-\b-s\bsp\bpa\bac\bce\be (\b(M\bM-\b-\\b\)\b) |
| 578 | Delete all spaces and tabs around point. |
| 579 | k\bki\bil\bll\bl-\b-r\bre\beg\bgi\bio\bon\bn |
| 580 | Kill the text between the point and _\bm_\ba_\br_\bk (saved |
| 581 | cursor position). This text is referred to as the |
| 582 | _\br_\be_\bg_\bi_\bo_\bn. |
| 583 | c\bco\bop\bpy\by-\b-r\bre\beg\bgi\bio\bon\bn-\b-a\bas\bs-\b-k\bki\bil\bll\bl |
| 584 | Copy the text in the region to the kill buffer. |
| 585 | c\bco\bop\bpy\by-\b-b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd |
| 586 | Copy the word before point to the kill buffer. The |
| 587 | word boundaries are the same as b\bba\bac\bck\bkw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd. |
| 588 | c\bco\bop\bpy\by-\b-f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd |
| 589 | Copy the word following point to the kill buffer. |
| 590 | The word boundaries are the same as f\bfo\bor\brw\bwa\bar\brd\bd-\b-w\bwo\bor\brd\bd. |
| 591 | y\bya\ban\bnk\bk (\b(C\bC-\b-y\by)\b) |
| 592 | Yank the top of the kill ring into the buffer at |
| 593 | point. |
| 594 | y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-p\bpo\bop\bp (\b(M\bM-\b-y\by)\b) |
| 595 | Rotate the kill ring, and yank the new top. Only |
| 596 | works following y\bya\ban\bnk\bk or y\bya\ban\bnk\bk-\b-p\bpo\bop\bp. |

| 600 | Add this digit to the argument already accumulat- |
| 601 | ing, or start a new argument. M-- starts a nega- |
| 602 | tive argument. |
| 603 | u\bun\bni\biv\bve\ber\brs\bsa\bal\bl-\b-a\bar\brg\bgu\bum\bme\ben\bnt\bt |
| 604 | This is another way to specify an argument. If |
| 605 | this command is followed by one or more digits, |
| 606 | optionally with a leading minus sign, those digits |
| 607 | define the argument. If the command is followed by |
| 608 | digits, executing u\bun\bni\biv\bve\ber\brs\bsa\bal\bl-\b-a\bar\brg\bgu\bum\bme\ben\bnt\bt again ends the |
| 609 | numeric argument, but is otherwise ignored. As a |
| 610 | special case, if this command is immediately fol- |
| 611 | lowed by a character that is neither a digit or |
| 612 | minus sign, the argument count for the next command |
| 613 | is multiplied by four. The argument count is ini- |
| 614 | tially one, so executing this function the first |
| 615 | time makes the argument count four, a second time |
| 616 | makes the argument count sixteen, and so on. |

| 619 | c\bco\bom\bmp\bpl\ble\bet\bte\be (\b(T\bTA\bAB\bB)\b) |
| 620 | Attempt to perform completion on the text before |
| 621 | point. The actual completion performed is applica- |
| 622 | tion-specific. B\bBa\bas\bsh\bh, for instance, attempts com- |
| 623 | pletion treating the text as a variable (if the |
| 624 | text begins with $\b$), username (if the text begins |
| 625 | with ~\b~), hostname (if the text begins with @\b@), or |
| 626 | command (including aliases and functions) in turn. |
| 627 | If none of these produces a match, filename comple- |
| 628 | tion is attempted. G\bGd\bdb\bb, on the other hand, allows |
| 629 | completion of program functions and variables, and |
| 630 | only attempts filename completion under certain |
| 631 | circumstances. |

| 641 | completed with a single match from the list of pos- |
| 642 | sible completions. Repeated execution of m\bme\ben\bnu\bu-\b-c\bco\bom\bm-\b- |
| 643 | p\bpl\ble\bet\bte\be steps through the list of possible comple- |
| 644 | tions, inserting each match in turn. At the end of |

| 699 | Swap the point with the mark. The current cursor |
| 700 | position is set to the saved position, and the old |
| 701 | cursor position is saved as the mark. |
| 702 | c\bch\bha\bar\bra\bac\bct\bte\ber\br-\b-s\bse\bea\bar\brc\bch\bh (\b(C\bC-\b-]\b])\b) |

| 707 | A character is read and point is moved to the pre- |
| 708 | vious occurrence of that character. A negative |
| 709 | count searches for subsequent occurrences. |
| 710 | i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt-\b-c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt (\b(M\bM-\b-#\b#)\b) |
| 711 | Without a numeric argument, the value of the read- |
| 712 | line c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt-\b-b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bn variable is inserted at the |
| 713 | beginning of the current line. If a numeric argu- |
| 714 | ment is supplied, this command acts as a toggle: |
| 715 | if the characters at the beginning of the line do |
| 716 | not match the value of c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt-\b-b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bn, the value is |
| 717 | inserted, otherwise the characters in c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt-\b-b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bn |
| 718 | are deleted from the beginning of the line. In |
| 719 | either case, the line is accepted as if a newline |
| 720 | had been typed. The default value of c\bco\bom\bmm\bme\ben\bnt\bt-\b-b\bbe\beg\bgi\bin\bn |
| 721 | makes the current line a shell comment. If a |
| 722 | numeric argument causes the comment character to be |
| 723 | removed, the line will be executed by the shell. |

| 729 | file. |
| 730 | d\bdu\bum\bmp\bp-\b-v\bva\bar\bri\bia\bab\bbl\ble\bes\bs |

| 750 | The following is a list of the default emacs and vi bind- |
| 751 | ings. Characters with the eighth bit set are written as |
| 752 | M-<character>, and are referred to as _\bm_\be_\bt_\ba_\bf_\bi_\be_\bd characters. |
| 753 | The printable ASCII characters not mentioned in the list |
| 754 | of emacs standard bindings are bound to the s\bse\bel\blf\bf-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt |
| 755 | function, which just inserts the given character into the |
| 756 | input line. In vi insertion mode, all characters not |
| 757 | specifically mentioned are bound to s\bse\bel\blf\bf-\b-i\bin\bns\bse\ber\brt\bt. Charac- |
| 758 | ters assigned to signal generation by _\bs_\bt_\bt_\by(1) or the ter- |
| 759 | minal driver, such as C-Z or C-C, retain that function. |
| 760 | Upper and lower case metafied characters are bound to the |
| 761 | same function in the emacs mode meta keymap. The remain- |
| 762 | ing characters are unbound, which causes readline to ring |
| 763 | the bell (subject to the setting of the b\bbe\bel\bll\bl-\b-s\bst\bty\byl\ble\be vari- |
| 764 | able). |
