Linenoise for rust

A minimal, zero-config, BSD licensed, readline replacement.

• Original code from Antirez, cf antirez/linenoise.
• Ported to rust by your humble servant.

How to add the dependency in Cargo

Add the following line to you project

linenoise-rust = "0.1.14"

Usage

• example code src/linenoise.rs.
• Api documentation

Misc

Why is this library not named linenoise ?

The original linenoise library belongs to cmr/linenoise-rs for which I have sent some pull requests. However, I'm trying to maintain my own version as the stats tends to indicate my version is the de factor standard.

TODO

• Use fork from oldium/linenoise (when gcc:compile_library supports -l) : oldium/linenoise does not build on OSX as is,
• Split in -sys and normal library.
