A simple implementation of cat using rl_sys::readline ```rust extern crate rl_sys;

use rlsys::readline; use rlsys::history::listmgmt;

fn main() { loop { let input: String = match readline::readline("") { Ok(Some(s)) => s, Ok(None) => break, // user entered ctrl-d Err(e) => { println!("{}", e); continue; } }; println!("{}", input);

    // Enables up/down arrow scrolling through history
    listmgmt::add(&input).unwrap();
}

} ```
