Description

rlwrap is a 'readline wrapper' that uses the GNU readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any other command. Input history is remembered across invocations, separately for each command; history completion and search work as in bash and completion word lists can be specified on the command line.

rlwrap: Update to 0.48

Changes: 0.48 ---- - rlwrap would mess up history when compiled with readline-8.3 - allow full user control of word-breakers with --break-chars='precisely:...' - simplify handling of --prompt-colour, enable general (ANSI) color codes for e.g. 256-color terminals - --filter 'filter_commandline $with <shell_matachars' would not find filters in $RLWRAP_FILTERDIR - rlwrap in vi mode would not always honour show-mode-in-prompt - make 'pipeline' filter find filters in $RLWRAP_FILTERDIR; add -i option to 'logger' and 'logger.py' - add example filter null2.py (to show how to make argparse print filter help with 'rlwrap -z filter')
