NAME
       libtecla - interactive command line input library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -ltecla [ library... ]
       #include <libtecla.h>


DESCRIPTION
       This  library  provides  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  wildcard expansion of filenames. The internal functions that per-
       form file-name completion and wild-card expansion  are  also  available
       externally for optional use by the calling program.

   Thread Safety
       The  terminfo  functions  setupterm(3CURSES), tigetstr(3CURSES), tiget-
       num(3CURSES), and tputs(3CURSES) are  not  reentrant.  This  condition,
       however,  should  not  prevent use of this library in threaded applica-
       tions, since few applications will want to interact with multiple  ter-
       minals.

INTERFACES
       The  shared object libtecla.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
